I'm taking it that this is another epic fail in democracy?

What can be more democratic then "No filming" and "SWAT Teams" to back it up with? Wink

Awarding delegates in proportion to how voters voted during the primary (since given the many problems that have occurred with Republican caucus' this cycle and the general absurdity of the caucus system).

A primary which no one contested except for one candidate who badly needed a boost precisely because the state decided ahead of time it would be meaningless. Had the delegates been tied to that, the results probably would have been different. To hold that up as being, the "democratic" thing to do at this point, is a mistake.

If VA counts, then so should MO.

The standard of comparison you have established here is ridiculously beyond all sense of objectivity. The situations are completely different.
