Our nation was founded as a republic, not a democracy. Democracy is majority rule and the minority is SOL.

In a republic, you vote for representatives of your local area, who in turn elect representatives a step up, until you finally reach the national representatives who make national decisions with the blessings of those who selected them.

Mark Levin told you all to get involved six years ago, in Liberty and Tyranny.You ignored that advice and let others write the rules.

Now, you whinde that it isn’t fair.

Sure, but party primaries are not constitutional processes. They are intra-party processes to select candidates any which way they choose.

What it does do is expose the true motives of the ruling class, because the people don't differentiate the primary vote from the Constitutional office vote when they see their "vote" taken away from them.

Even though primary voting is a sham, the reputational damage to the party is enormous when they play fast and loose with the process.

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.”
