Because the repugnant WSJ elites know better than we do what’s good for us.

It used to be that the will of the people was what counted.

Never heard of Bret Stephens.

Good luck with that, Bret.

I think Republicans did learn their lesson...in 2008 and 2012. That’s why they have Trump in 2016.

Stephens and others seem to be exhibiting an intense mistrust of the judgment of citizens ("the People")--a curious attitude for those who, one might think, would be most familiar with the writings and speeches of America's Founders.

After all, those Founders and Framers of the 1787 Constitution relied on the ratification process in the States, and any future Amendment to that Constitution, by the Constitution's own provision, still requires the assent of "the People."

"I am not among those who fear the people. They...are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they (the British) now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers....This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public, as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from the principle in one instance, becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the 'bellum omnium in omnia,' which some philosophers...have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive, state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas Jefferson
In 2016, "the People," having watched their elected so-called "conservative" Republican leaders fail miserably at even slowing the oppressive "progressive" "train" of "wretchedness and oppression."

"The People" who Justice Story called "the only KEEPERS of the Constitution" see the so-called "conservatives" they elected betray them, and they have responded with an outright rejection, county by county, in most of the states won by Trump.

It is time now for those GOP leaders the voters rejected in the Primaries to decide whether they will turn over the Executive Branch to a self-described "progressive" who promises to double down on the Obama agenda,

or

whether they will show statesmanship by accepting "the People's" choice, re-engaging in their delegated duties to preserve and protect the Constitution, and be a part of placing the Republican Party on a firm footing of fidelity to that Constitution's limits on power and protection's for liberty.

was it right or wrong for Republican party leadership in Louisiana to push for the election of a known criminal named Edwin Edwards over the GOP nominee David Duke, a former Democrat and repugnant man?

Edwards won and eventually was again tried with crimes and went to federal prison.

Yet another neo-con who wipes his backside with his hand just before eating a meal, which is why he produces so much caca.

You know, I’m no fan of The Donald, but it seems that it’s clowns that posture that the masses of conservatives need to be taught a lesson (presumably to only vote for those their betters want) who need the lesson.

Well, well, well...

How nice of the WSJ to show us the same restraint, the same forebearance, the same maturity they’ve asked of unhappy Republican voters urged, time and time again, to vote for the lesser of two evils and pull the lever for the likes of kabuki conservatives like Shrub 1, then Dull, then McVain, then Shrub II who brought us bailouts, amnesty attempts, record big government spending and the path to Obamination.

These people are useless.

We put up with their candidates for decades, they do nothing to turn the Titanic around - even when they controlled all three branches — and when the tables are turned, and the shoe on the other foot, they can’t be bothered to show us the same courtesy, the same flexibility, the same forebarance they’ve asked from us - for decades, from election to election to election.

F’ em.

Oh, and by the way, the WSJ like much of the rest of the mainstream media has already been “decisively rebuked” by the free market — shrinking markets, shrinking ad revenue, and getting dumped by Murdoch/Fox because, well, turns out they just dont make much money.

They haven’t learned their lesson yet, but they will. Just leave it to the market.

If you know what I mean.

Any attempt at a the rebuke he is talking about will be the cause for a civil war. Hold your nose ash hat, you all will need to bow to the will of We The People.
