Sorry, friend, but you've missed the entire point of the article. The author asserted not that "voters are always right" in some general sense but rather only to the political party which they form. If the administrative and titular leaders of that party (the "GOPe" in this instance) ignore the votes of those who make up that party, the voters will leave that party, transferring to an existing party or to a new one, or giving up on politics; or else they will overthrow those faithless leaders, who exist not to enact their own preferences but instead to enable and empower the party's voters whom they represent. The same is true of every democratically-constituted organization, as manifested in its bylaws, be it the RNC, the DNC, the PTA, IBM, or Congress itself.

"Sorry, friend, but you've missed the entire point of the article."

I agree with you to an extent. The article is presenting the “trees” view. I am arguing the “forest” view.

Citizens need to get themselves up to speed with the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers and start taking responsibility for the politicians that they send to DC.
