On Saturday, Ted Cruz added all of Colorado's 34 delegates to his column. This year, the Colorado GOP made the controversial decision to alter the way it selected delegates. It gets a little convoluted but basically voters selected district delegates who then selected the delegates who will choose the nominee this summer in Cleveland. If that sounds confusing, it is. By virtually all accounts, it was something of a mess. Whether you think the party disenfranchised voters - or made a smart move - probably has a lot to do with which candidate you back.
