Colorado Republican voters were silenced by Colorado Republican party members who created party rules designed to place the Colorado Republican delegate selection process entirely with establishment insiders. Rules were changed in August of 2015 to unbind delegates from the candidate desired by Colorado Republicans, at the time Donald J. Trump, by removing the Presidential Preference poll at the March precinct caucuses.

Although Colorado Republican Party rules were followed, those rules were deliberately designed to silence the voices of all Colorado Republicans who did not support the establishment agreed-upon insider.

The only ethical choice for the delegates selected to represent "Colorado voters" at the National Convention in July, is to abstain entirely from casting ballots for any candidate for the Republican nomination, and instead allow states with legitimate nomination rules to choose the Republican nominee.
