What folks like Kristol don’t get, is that we are a representative democracy.

The politicians represent US. The people. Not the other way around, where we are supposed to fall in line with the party, and represent THEIR wishes.

Whenever I hear that Trump is a populist, I say “so what?”, that’s what representative democracy is about, doing the will of the people.

This isn’t a feudal society, as much as the neocons and globalists would like it to be.

The pols represent the people

What about delegates? Aren't they supposed to be folks who were delegated the authority to represent what we voted for? That's why Cruz's "Trojan Horse Delegate" is such a despicable campaign tactic.

I still remember the first time I saw this more than 40 years ago. Sadly, it finally applies in the USA.
