A representative republic means that the delegates represent the voters. There were no voters in Colorado or Wyoming. Starting the process with anything but a private vote in a primary by registered voters is absurd.

“A representative republic means that the delegates represent the voters.”

Which is what a caucus does. You elect a slate of delegates.

Yes, there were. And they voted for delegates to represent them.

Those delegates voted for the nominee.

How do you expect to influence people in favor of your candidate choice if you spread out and out untruths.

I’ve looked online to determine Colorado’s processes. And I have talked to my cousins who live and vote in Colorado. They went to the local caucus locations and VOTED on the delegates to represent them at the next level. Just Colorado residents have done since 1912:

The experience of a Colorado resident who participated in the local caucus for the first time:
