Ryan’s definitely! - - AZ hq maybe not bc busy time.
Nat’l RNC, otoh, may need reminders that we are watching, bless their hearts.
Hang right IN THERE, cyn! Great job!
Lou Dobbs has been banging on Paul Ryan nightly. Last night was the real deal. Lou named the globalist donors that own Ryan, even if he left out the USCCB (US Conference of Catholic Bishops).
Thanks for your courage.

I was mad therefore highly motivated! And I’d rather make phone calls to prevent problems than to have to march in the streets, esp if we have to carry pitchforks.
We do have great examples in courage with the DC freepers & others like that.
Oh; wait. That says Virginia - not vagina.
Just WHAT do you want to post?
Creating new paragraphs is about the only html that most posters ever need, but if you would like to learn more about html you may use any search engine on the internet to find tutorials. Simply search on "html tutorial". Here are links to a couple tutorials that I found:

Thank you, Cyn. You’re a treasure.
Good for you! And, Amen.
Heh. Yeah, even that is not likely to happen despite her consistent bad behavior...but that rather makes the point, does it not?

Will electors to the Electoral College be free to vote their conscience?
They always have been, since the Constitution was born, and intentionally so. I don’t know why this surprises people. There’s never been a direct election of the PotUS. We the people elect a slate of Electors to represent our state in the Electoral College - typically based on who they’ve pledged to vote for, and they elect the President...and if there’s a majority and no obvious chicanery, the House ratifies the Presidents’ and the Senate the Vice Presidents’ election. The Electors are considered part of the state election. About half of the states have laws restricting Electors...but they’ve never been enforced - and even then, they could only possibly be enforced by punishment after a contrary vote. These laws have never been Constitutionally affirmed.
As came up in the 2000 election, Congress has passed laws saying that for the Presidential election, if the rules in place in a state prior to the November election are observed, then Congress has agreed they will accept the results. Changing the rules afterwards as the courts attempted in Florida, can lead to Congress deciding what to do with the results from a state’s electoral votes - which happened several times in the 1800s.
That said, the primary delegates are considered part of the party apparatus, thus the party makes those rules.
Oh ok,....so let me see if I understand.
The judge isn’t interfering with the party rules, he’s saying that actual state law can’t trump political party (a private entity) rules?
Is that like saying if you start a private club or group, the state laws can’t subvert your club rules? I know I’m dumbing it down, but that’s the best way to understand it.
Is that right?
Halleluja!!!
nice!!
