I certainly agree with that! This #NeverTrump "vote your conscience" movement would instantly elevate all primary delegates to "superdelegate" status. This is hardly a conservative proposal. Rather, it comes straight out of the Left Progressive playbook, to create an unaccountable ruling elite. This cuts at the very heart of American liberty and our constitutional rule of law.
We are, after all, a government of laws, not of men -- a government of, by, and for the People.
But any expected miracle at the Convention can only come about if the Rules Committee enacts the "vote your conscience" rule. If they do, the GOP is dead. Dead as a doornail. I think the Rules Committee understands this. Certainly, Reince Priebus clearly understands this. So I doubt the Rules Committee would do anything that suicidal.
But blockheads like Senator Sasse -- who is an Asse -- just don't get it. The #NeverTrump crowd wants another candidate, mainly Ted Cruz I suspect, whom I originally supported; that is, until Iowa....
Never mind that the people of the several States, in their conventions or primaries, have already made their choice, in the biggest GOP primary turnout ever, out of a field of 18 candidates. But the #NeverTrump crowd insanely thinks it can simply override the primary results, and substitute their own judgment for that of 13 million primary voters.
Question: Are they nutz??? Answer: YES. Certifiably insane.
Just a thought: If a man is to be judged by the company he attracts and keeps, then I'd have to say Ted Cruz is a total loser. One of his supporters, who knows I plan to vote for Trump, has told me in no uncertain terms that Trump is evil through and through, and so I must be evil, too, since I support him. He added that he "opposed" Trump, and therefore he "opposed" me, and what did I plan to do about it?
Sigh. You cannot reason with these people. I know three-year-olds with more common sense. Plus they seem to be living in another world, a looking-glass, down-the-rabbit-hole world. You just can't reach these people.... (Though Heaven knows I've tried.)
libstripper, I'm not going to get involved with that "vote your conscience" site or its push-poll. There's no point in dignifying it with my presence.
Thanks so much for writing!
"[On the Donald]: I wasn't particularly impressed." "I wasn’t particularly impressed. It was the normal stream of consciousness, long on hyperbole." - Republican Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) Donald Trump met with GOP Congressmen and Senators on Thursday, and the reaction: "Meh."
The Washington Post sums it up in their headline: "It’s very, very hard to understand what Donald Trump is doing right now."
To recap Donald Trump's week:
• New California poll has Donald Trump reaching 'historic lows' in presidential race.
• He's allying with the Virginia Democratic Attorney General to try and stop delegates from voting their conscience.
• A new Reuters poll has him losing to Hillary Clinton by 13.
• He fell short of matching Hillary Clinton's fundraising in June.
• He doubled down on his anti-Semitic sharegraphic by comparing it to Disney's Frozen.
• And now the people that are supposed to be campaigning hard for him - Republican elected officials - are sitting on their hands.
The Washington Post is right. His campaign doesn't have any real plan or strategy. But it's easy to understand what they aren't doing: winning.
