and it was approved by the national party

What does that MEAN?
Does it mean anything very different from being approved by Der Fuhrer? Or it was approved by those it was approved by? That approval has no meaning.

If you're a Colorado member of the Republican Party, then take it up with your leadership. If not, you have no say how a private organization runs its selection process.


If you disagree with that, move to Colorado and join the party, or create your own party, then you can make whatever rules you want.

Do you have a source that shows that registered Rs in Colorado are in mass revolt against the Cruz win? Because I've looked, and I haven't been able to find that they are.

If a majority of Colorado Rs are not upset with the result of their nomination process, then I fail to see how anything was "stolen" from them.

No one in Colorado gets to vote in presidential primary - Republican or Democratic. There is at best a straw poll but no direct votes for any candidate. At the caucus, you select delegates, not a candidate. Trump thought he didn't even have to show up, meaning mount any sort of ground game. He was wrong.

Of course he doesn't. Or I would be surprised if he can come up with anything factual.

There has been many stories noting the displeasure of the GOP voters in Colorado. From burning their registrations to personally letting those who made this decision thier displeasure.

Yes, I did read the story about (some) Trump supporters issuing death threats and publicizing personal information. But we also know that some Trump supporters, like some Sanders supporters, are not longtime party members.

What I have not read is an analysis of ordinary registered Rs being upset by this change, which was implemented nine months ago. There are always wackos issuing threats in a presidential campaign, I don't consider these a sign of what most Colorado Rs think. (In fact, threats are usually issued by people who know they are in the minority and who can't think of any other ways to get what they want.) What I am interested in is whether a substantial number of Colorado registered Rs are objecting to this process, and what they plan to do about it.

I'm not a Trump supporter but any system that tells the vast majority of members that their input is neither needed or wanted isn't going to prosper.

By ordinary, you mean those that agree with you?
