“We choose the nominee, not the voters: Senior GOP official”

---

It’s tough to be a political party if no one votes for your candidates.

Actually the GOP has the same mindset in my state. They are basically non-existent in elected office here, partly because they run the same old fossils election after election.

Is he really a “senior GOP official”?

Contrary to the opinions expressed here, the statement is one that the republican party operates as a republic not a democracy. If any candidate does not win a majority of the delegates the rules allow delegates to move until a majority of them favor one candidate.

“Pure democracy, like pure rum, easily produces intoxication, and with it a thousand mad pranks and fooleries.” -- John Jay:

“Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”-- James Madison
