Colorado is NOT "deciding the election for the nation" [View all]

I can NOT believe MSNBC is giving this line of thought as much play as it is and not answering the question.

Colorado is making decision for Colorado. Every state has a right to appoint its electors however it chooses. It's only been the last 150 years that that has been done by popular vote. So Colorado can set up its ballot however it wants.

If Colorado IS "deciding the election for the nation" then the first-in-time primaries need to come to an end. They have far more influence on the election than Colorado will have with this one decision.

And yes Justice Kavanaugh and Alito, it COULD result in each of the states making their own decisions. It's called States' rights and this is a clearly defined state right. I thought you guys were all for that?
