Ah, the old Republic argument. Of course, that was intended for the FEDERAL government not for how local party politics is conducted, so you are 100% wrong there; but second, St. Ted running as the honorable candidate MIGHT be expected to be honorable anyway.
One man, one vote.
But not St. Ted. It’s win at all costs because staying in DC is more important than the principle that people get to choose their leaders.
He’s showing more and more why he’s so hated, and it has nothing to do with his “conservatism.”
If Cruz thinks he can win he is devoid of any sense of reality. He is a roadblock. He is not smart enough to steal the election from the GOPe.
Hmmm...regarding Supreme Court justices, I have four words for you: David Souter, John Roberts.
Bless your heart!
Precisely. He’s trying to say the “establishment” set the rules (thus not St. Ted’s fault that he only “plays” by the rules), but that the only chance for an outsider to win is for Trump to win, but St. Ted doing everything he can to screw up Trump winning, but that’s ok, because it shows how brilliant St. Ted is.
Spinning like a dervish.
Thank you for that clarifying comment. Politics and government are not the same thing. Right?
Obviously, you didn't get my previous reply to you.
The structure of the federal government is not the same as elections, which are decided by the people. Indeed, the Constitution says little about elections except that they be held.
But what is happening is that the SPIRIT of the law, namely that the government is of the people, by the people, for the people, is being destroyed by St. Ted, who seems to think it’s “of St. Ted, by St Ted, and for St. Ted.”
“When Paul and Trump start gaming the system, as you call it, you trumpers will be dancing in the streets.”
At least you admit the system is being “gamed”. It is because of the rules put in place by the Republican club that allows this to happen. This is one of the reasons we want change in Washington.
Representative elections ensure every man has a voice. In populous elections, the lone man gets drowned out by the loudest voices.
I was a Kemp delegate in the 1988 Iowa caucus. I have voted since then, and the only time the state republican party cared to hear my voice is in caucus states.
Well, kinda! Rush will let a caller trash Trump, say some of the most despicable things about Trump, and will egg them on. That way, he can deny he ever said anything negative about Trump.
Quit listening and will be cancelling 24/7 when due.
Would like to know if the radio-a-thon from Friday brought in less money this year because of a drop in listeners.
Thanks for the ping. I won’t have to search for it now.
