Cool, now get him blocked where it matters. Colorado was never going to vote Red.
This is for the primary, which matters even in blue states — their delegates to the nationwide party conference are worth just as much as the red states’.
Ah, that's a bit more interesting but even so the vote doesn't matter. If the RNC wants to pick Donald Trump as the candidate, they could.
The RNC has never wanted Trump, but they're stuck with him. I'm sure they're secretly happy with this ruling.
If they truly never wanted Trump, they could have not picked him as the 2016 candidate.
It’s likely to get appealed to the Supreme Court, which would effectively do what you ask if they rule he did participate in an insurrection.
At this point I wouldn't hold by breath for the Supreme Court to rule against republican interests.
