Au contraire....ONLY when the voters choose the candidates, receive accurate and equal coverage in the media, are not presented with ONLY the candidate who is best-funded by the Party and those who CONTROL the Party with their contributions of massive amounts of cash to buy the PR necessary to buy the votes...THEN, the "voters get to decide, I'm sure of it".
If the Party has their candidate of choice and pour the cash into their promotion, then you get whatever THEY decide you have a choice to vote for. You don't pick Joe Six-Pack down the street and expect that he can effectively get his message out and gain media support (look at Duncan Hunter and how he was treated).
No.
If you want an example of how a candidate emerges despite the fact that there is truly a party-Establishment and media-favorite candidate, look no further than Barak Obama.
When he started this race, he was basically in a Duncan Hunter position in the party, except that he had somewhat more name recognition and had given an excellent speech at the last Rat convention.
But the Witch was THE candidate of the DNC, the party elites, Hollywood, the MSM, the superdelegates. She had raised hundreds of millions of dollars and collected piles of political IOU’s. Her husband was the de facto leader of the party. She had HUGE, global name recognition.
But the Rat base did turn to her, they turned to Obama. And there is NOTHING any of TPTB you cite could do to stop the grassroots from emerging THEIR candidate.
Compare what happened at the grassroots level in the GOP. To wit, nothing.
No one did or could keep the GOP grassroots from emerging a candidate, including one of the more conservative candidates who actually applied for the job (Hunter, Thompson, etc.). But hardly anyone voted for them.
I don’t know why they didn’t vote for them, but it’s not because conservatives are led by the nose by the MSM, or because conservatives make up their mind based on how many commercials they see on tv (which many don’t watch anyway), or because conservatives let someone “buy” their votes.
Think about the allegations you have made and who you allege was the victim of these allegations.
You make many allegations about the Party “funding” and “promoting” a particular candidate. What is your source for that? Are you sure you know where a candidate’s campaign funds actually come from?
