Acknowledging the rules is not the same as defending the rules. If someone gets a ticket for riding a motorcycle without a helmet, and I explain that there is a law against riding without a helmet, it does not mean I am defending that law. Again, no one here is defending the Colorado rule. They are simply pointing out that the rules exist and have been in place for eight months. Trump supporters want to ride the motorcycle without a helmet then get all indignant when they get a ticket.
Trump is rewriting the rule book. Watch.
How many votes did Trump and Kasich get in Colorado??
