To new voting rules in new york that could undermine trumps chances there. But first, this weekend colorado republicans are caucusing but last night ted cruz already had taken the majority of the states delegates donald trump, john kasich, had none. This is a troubling sign for trump. Colorados system is unusual but similar to most states in that delegate selection is different than the president ial balloting by voters and here is why thats bad for trump. Often delegates selected in state caucuses and conventions are long Standing Party members. They are being rewarded not for their loyalty to a particular candidate, but for loyalty to the party and the paramount goal is finding a candidate that can win the general election. New york is the next big prize on april 19 and a rule change last year by its Republican State Committee allows the party, not the candidates to select who will be the delegates. So even if trump wins the primary, if he falls shy of a majority on the first ballot
