Another anti-Trump tirade by the tired tittering class. After the inspiration provided by our British counterpart, here's a tired pro-establishment figure trying to convince us to disregard the actual votes of regular Republican primary voters and let the political class ("the convention") chose our candidate for us! Of all the sleazy, disgusting filth, that's pretty low. Sorry Mr. Paulson, your highness, but though Trump is not my first choice, he has earned the respect of many people I respect a heck of a lot more than you and the rest of the GOP wimp class. I have never seen the passion you have displayed against the person who has followed the rules and collected more than the required number of delegates. Where was this passion when it was time to fight Obama? Close the border, defund Obama's priorities, fight his executive orders? Were you guys too busy? I am about to stop reading Townhall till at least after the election. Oh, and of course, there was no way to respond to the article online. Another dirty trick learned from the Democrat media. You guys are still jerks.

Didn’t Terry Paulson once work with the Smothers Brothers?

“Freeing the delegates to vote their conscience will not ensure that Trump will lose. In fact, since most of the delegates would have been selected to support him, many will continue to support him. If he truly has the positions and principles needed to Make America Great Again, he’ll earn the delegate votes needed, even if they’re free to vote for someone else. Earning their nomination in an open convention will help bring the doubters on board.”

OK, let the delegates free to vote their conscience. Does anyone think that if the free delegates select Trump, that the GOPe and the NeverTrumps will be satisfied? Do you think that George Will will rejoin the Republican Party? That Erick Ericson will shut up?

Is Tim the son of Pat Paulson?

Lawd TP is just another Zig Zigler wannabee...

You can sh!t all over his Facebook timeline. I refuse that place out of far more principle than TP has about anything.

TP has Twitter too but hasn't used it since December.

Yeah there is dude. At the bottom of the article, look for the shaded thought bubble on the right, click and it will take you to the Disqus(t).

Disclaimer: I was a Cruz supporter.

Every one of these articles begs the questions: Hasn't Trump legitimately won the delegates that will put him over the top on the first ballot?

Even if they say, "Vote your conscience," won't the majority vote their conscience AND Trump on the first ballot?

Is this all just a bunch of drivel to to make happy George Will and that ilk?

If they vote their conscience AND Trump, will Will and that ilk come around?

Somehow I doubt it. Who are the ones with principles?

Seems appropriate - maybe the Republicans should read it.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
