Your post makes no sense. Kasich is a liberal, which is a very bad thing. But how do you figure that he doesn’t want voters to elect their leaders? He wants a contested convention which, by necessity, requires a VOTE.
Party elites are NOT the same as 'the people'.
Political parties write rules to give themselves MORE power at the expense of the people. Another hellhole tactic - common among self appointed 'elites'... It's how democrats came up with super delegates. A desire to tip the scale in favor of themselves... It's almost impossible to overcome the advantages the parties (both of 'em) have given themselves.
That's wrong.
It's a disgusting abuse of power and should be brought to the attention of the Supreme Court by groups of citizens from both parties.
