Well, it'sa danged cinch they can't now, even if they wanted to!!!
I have always and will always believe that political parties that endorse ANY candidate for ANYTHING partisan, prior to a primary contest, unless it's one those "open primay" abortions, is totally unfair, undemocratic and resembles "King Making!" (which I think is obscene!)
What if the candidate does something totally sinful/outrageous? How does the party deal with that embarrassment. It's premature, I tell ya! But I'm sure the herd was easily stampeded and no one gives a spit anymore, till a problem develops, which is entirely possible, now!!!
May I remind you (not just you, but you were there and voted) that the majority is not always right, but is always tyrannical!!! Republicans used to be somewhat stoic an less easily moved from well thought-out long standing moral high ground positions. But that is changing rapidly I see as we all rush ever more rapidly toward more and more "Government by Whim!"
Thank you for getting back to me with the explanation. Thank you for being there and participating and for reading my phlegmatic positions that are meaningless... as usual.
Oh! You were gonna tell me something about something to do with the SNC criminal enterprise... What happened???
You're right, there's always that potential. The way I read these Bylaws, they're pretty flexible. If the endorsed candidate turns out to be especially odious, the Central Committees could push for another vote and remove the endorsement. Yeah, it means extraordinary effort and working through the system, but there's nothing standing in the way. Why be in train wreck mode when you're just trying to leave the station?
