It seems to have escaped notice that Colorado decided not to hold a presidential-preference poll at their caucus/convention this year because they didn’t want to be forced to abide by an RNC rule that bound delegates going into Cleveland to such poll results.

Essentially, Colorado said, “Screw you, RNC. Our delegates can vote for whomever they want. You don’t tell us what to do!”

And people are ticked off about it. Confusing.

Essentially, Colorado said, “Screw you, RNC. Our delegates can vote for whomever they want, regardless of the intentions of the caucus attendees, let alone the other 95%. You don’t tell us what to do!”

Fixed it. Why people are ticked off should be obvious.

Additionally, it means that the people of Colorado were denied THEIR choice of candidate. They were in effect TOLD who they could vote for or not vote for.

Colorado overrides the voters wishes a LOT and in many ways.

Rules meaning what we want them to mean is the very same sentiment behind their ‘’home-rule’’ policies. It’s very hard to win a case in court if you aren’t a local ‘name’ because the laws/rules are so fluid.

Trump needed more (or better) resources in the field.

Wrong. Party elites decided on who got the delegates.

The answer to question 1 is: S N A K E

The answer to question 2 is: S U C K E R
