They have to play the game to give the appearance of propriety.

If Trump goes not go into the convention with at least 1237, your mention of Rubio or Bush as the nominee is still possible.
Recall that Bush said early on that the primaries were irrelevant, as he would be the one on the November ballot.

The game is still going on.
the party will try and get caucuses in every state , and then just let delegates vote who are selected by the establishment and to hell with voters.
Then they think they can win a general with people like cruz, McCain, Romney, Dole.
frigging elitist idiots and they can take a flying jump like the Vichy so called conservatives who defend them.
Every penny spent in political campaigns is meant to sway the swayable, the dumbest 10% of the folks who actually bother to vote. The swing voters, the ones who vote one way and then differently the next time around and can’t really give a cogent reason why.

It's not. It's the well thought out process based up many possibilities.
The best possibility is that the best candidate wins by getting the required minimum number of delegates according to the processes designed by the States.
It is also a possibility that the WORST candidate wins the required minimum number (Think Hillary and a Federal Indictment). And what if the Candidate commits Treason or Murder just after getting the minimum requirement?
Didn't think of that did you?
It is also possible that the Candidate dies after getting the minimum votes, what do you do then?
Didn't think of that either did you?
The system works as designed for our Republic.
In the case of Colorado, the rules for caucuses have not changed since 1912 and are on the Colorado website. And to change the rules while in the caucus process is not fair.
What happened here is a failure in the ground game of Donald Trump and his followers are bitter over it.
except for Trump
They change the rules all the time. They changed them to keep Ron Paul out.
Great point. I had not thought to that.
