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.

For the last few years, principle #1 has been “voters don’t matter”. Why change now?

“Freeing the delegates to vote their conscience...”
_______________________________________
Delegates must vote the will of their state’s citizens. It has nothing to do with “conscience”.
Paulson can go pound sand. We’re over the GOPe. Deal with it.

his sentence sums it up rather nicely: “Will the party choose established Republican principles or their presumptive candidate who has the necessary delegates but wants to do this campaign his way?”
We’ve been doing it “their” way for a long time; Dole, McCain, Romney anyone? Now it’s time to do it “our” way.

We’ve seen the current “core principles of the party” and we don’t like it.

Ryan “supports” conservative principles in his speeches.
Then he goes out to support and enable the establishment Uniparty in the real world.
How many times has he used Congress’s “power of the purse” to stop Obama’s globalist, socialist, racist, Islamic agenda?

...We dont need subservient, quiet party delegates; we need principled, assertive delegates willing to exercise their will in preserving liberty, preventing tyranny, promoting effective government leaders, and protecting the reputation of the party. My my. Paulsen, motivational dipshit he is, actually has the b@lls to write that Federalist Papers reference and compare it to our elected Republican Leadership and its acolytes of today? Principled? Preventing Tyranny? Really?
The rest of his article can be disregarded purely because of this one glaring lie. I'll their damned house of cards fall to the and burn right down to the foundation I countenance what this traitor and other "principled" Republicans are spewing.

Let Convention Choose Principles over Presumptive CandidateThus taking away the votes of the majority of Republican voters in the country and paving the way for a Marxist lesbian to become our President.
No thanks.

You gotta remember Townhall is Salem Media Group - the anti-American anti-voter GOPe establishment hack group who owns Erick Erickson, Michael Graham, Hot Air, and on and on and on...they’re full blown open borders.

Paul Ryan doesn’t support conservatives principles, nor does Cruz, Bush, Romney or the other hacks in leadership positions.

It’s a tossup as to who has been more disappointing, Cruz or Ryan.

Freeing the delegates to vote their conscience... My conscience says not to vote for someone they, and not us, chose.
My conscience says not to vote republican all the way down ticket, if it comes to that.
There are other parties and independents.

What about the Democrat convention, with its choice between a thoroughly nasty criminal and an aging avowed socialist? Won’t THEY be pushing for some new blood? < /sarc >

We are truly fortunate to have a political class which is so inspired to devote their energy and intellect to saving we, the benighted ones, from ourselves.
