If you could ask these guys about restoring the republic I wonder what they would tell you.

Why do we have a government? What is its purpose?
Our founding documents give us the reasons in plain English: to secure the unalienable rights of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" (the Declaration of Independence) and "to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" (the preamble to the Constitution of the United States).
In other words, our government exists to secure the liberty of its citizens. There is a reason why the word "Liberty" appears in both the Declaration and the Constitution: because liberty is the paramount moral directive by which one human being can interact with another. To rob another human being unwillingly of his time, effort, intellection, the fruits of his labor, or his very life is to violate his self-sovereignty and to do him evil. Governments were known by our founders to be the very worst violators of this principle, and so the founders set up our government to be the very basis for which self-sovereignty was to be preserved, which established our republic as unique in the whole of human history.
At least it used to be. We have lost our way.
The government we know today exists only for itself. It feeds off the citizenry to support its own largesse. It is used as a mechanism by its adherents to further pet projects and ply us with social experiments. It steadily erodes, rather than secures, liberty. The Constitution was established to confine government, but through two centuries of Supreme Court malignance, we have a government that, collectively, does not recognize self-sovereignty as a natural right.

If we had wanted to restore the republic, we would have voted for Cruz. The nation prefered the TV host...
I could not disagree with you more.
Get over it, we now have Trump as the one chosen to save this nation. If you want more of the demodummies (aka Odumbo, Clintons, etc. then vote for Clinton, otherwise, get on the Trump bandwagon or this country is LOST forever, never to be salvaged.
What the f@ck are you talking about? Did you actually read what American in Israel wrote? You are effing nuts.
I have been a Trump supporter, demonstrably. You just can’t read.
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
DEPOPULATE liars, losers, criminals, conmen, collectivists, scumbags, socialists, thieves, tyrants, totalitarians and their enablers from the body politic.
live - free - republic
Your comment should have been directed to American in Israel.
The original republic died at a small court house in Appomattox Va a long time ago.
Everyone at Goldman Sachs agrees with your sentiment.
Repeal the 17th!
They could have left that line out
Libs have used it for far too much socialism.
Bttt
Cruz would have been destroyed by now. Furthermore, his actions since he was not nominated show that he was never genuine.
I don't know why we'd be looking to "save the Republic" in 2016, after more than a century of foreign military campaigns that really proved we are an empire now, not a real country.

The 17 was unconstitutional right out of the gate. First off it was a progressive ram through in a hay day of progressive.
...and the rammers forgot to change the term of office to that of popularly elected representatives. That term is two years not six. If States had any spine or balls, they would begin the transition to Legislature selected Senators who look out for the State rather than themselves. Who do you suppose would stop them and how?
The Senate would stop them, by not allowing them to be seated. How many States would then think an Article V would be the next step in the move for repeal of the seventeenth? You might have to convince the States that the status quo is not in their interest. A difficult task I submit, as they work hand in glove with the Federal Government for political and economic power over their citizens.
You’re right. That’s what’s wrong wwith the Senate.
The road to restoring the Republic is to on November 8th overwhelmingly vote for and support Donald John Trump, on January 20, 2017 Swear him into the office of President of the USA, or to fight!
The decision of which is in the hands of those who can corrupt the honest vote by manipulating the computer voting machines of the computer counting machines
But restore the Republic, Christ willing, we will.
How do you restore the Republic by defecating on the Constitution?
Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen of the United states of America.
Yep
Anyone would have been destroyed by now. Listening to mark levin ranting over trump’s’pandering’ to women, thinking, how does levin think we can get anything done if we don’t get into the White House?
Trump is running against a multi multi billion dollar scam artist with aspiration pneumonia and some causative disorder probably seizures, and the media, (see major Garrett meltdown for all you need to know). And massive voter fraud and still just pulling out a tie
Cruz? It’s more apparent daily
