the colorado caucus process is a sick, insider, anti-democratic joke. About half a dozen people show up for each precinct caucus, and elect people to attend county assemblies and Congressional district assemblies; the county assemblies elect people to the state convention. The CD and State assemblies then elect delegates, who are supposedly unbound.
A couple thousand people out of a population of 5 million participate.
if all registered republicans actually showed up, there wouldnt be enough meeting rooms to hold them in the entire state and the caucuses wouldnt work. in fact, the GOPe is counting on just a very, very,very few showing up. thats why the reserved caucus rooms are always so very, very, very tiny.
family members who have children to take care of, meals to prepare, and work to prepare for dont have time to waste on a meaningless process where party insiders are going to steal the whole thing at the end anyway.
on the other hand, colorado is a mail-in ballot state for ALL elections, so a few hundred thousand would have voted in an actual primary, whereas the caucuses were held on a weeknight when people have to take care of their families and then go to work the next day.
btw, if this is such a wonderful process, shouldnt all of our elections for everything require everyone to show up at 7pm to 8pm on a Tuesday night in order to vote?
This is for those buying the Trump complaints about Colorado....
