I have a commenter who says Donald Trump did poorly in Colorado because he didn’t show up. Implying that Trump got his just deserts for disrespecting Colorado.
There is an alternate view:
Stefan Molyneux (who is doing the expositing) says what went on in Colorado unfairly gives banana republics a bad name. He also notes that bribing the potential delegates is allowed.
But maybe it is all a ruse to make an inside guy look like and outside guy. If so it has been very effective so far.
