Well, actually... We have a republic that utilizes a democratic process!!!
I posted short excerpts from 5 email from 5 of the many candidates for delegate in my Congressional District.
Some of you mixed the comments of different delegates as if they were the same person... same establishment.
In fact, these 5 are some of the more than 5 that are running against each other, each with their own distinct message.
In reality at least 2 wannabes are very anti-establishment and at least 2 are very pro-establishment.
And the candidate who says he is anti=Trump is outside the establishment and this is his plea to be allowed in as a member of the establishment.
The point of the post was to show that this is our current system in action. Who wins for delegate depends totally on who shows up to participate in the process.
The process starts at the Precinct level. If you don’t have your precinct, why should anyone listen to you at the County or District level?
Different state, different process.
