As long as their conscience is saying “ignore the voters”.
The Weekly Standard believes the Republican delegates would do a better job of speaking for the People than did the People. How absolutely arrogant and elitist. The Weekly Standard and its editors can go straight to Hell.
If they want to pull this sh1t, wait til they see what we pull on them November 8.
I remember Jay Cost from 2012. He wrote numerous articles explaining that the polls were wrong and Romney was going to defeat Obama. He did have me going for a while.
What has bothered me most of all about this election cycle is the realization that a lot of “conservatives” have liberal morals. Whether you love Trump or not, he won the delegates. In a banana republic, you change the rules after the election. It is delusional that somehow another candidate can become the nominee at this point. You cannot twist reality to fit your own narrative. It would be funny if the situation wasn’t so serious.
Oh no, you are wrong. They have the highest morals. And that’s why they are voting for Ted, who was anointed by god..... (and probably also rubbed down with hot oil by Amanda Carpenter).
This is 100% incorrect. On the first round the delegates have to vote the way the voters have. This writer is a nut.
The Weekly Standard has proven itself to be a hate driven, lying, neocon rag.
All the masks are falling off.
Bill Kristol, Jay Cost, Elliot Cohen, Jonah Goldberg, Mark Levin, and on, and on.
They really WANT Hillary. The question is, why?
How long has Jay Cost been an idiot? Apparently since birth. The Republican Party has nothing to do with the government of the United States, the Constitution, or with our system of of Federalism. The political parties formed after the organization of our government and they sit outside of it. They decide their own rules and can govern their own affairs. The Federal Court has ruled that delegates must follow the rules of the party. Fair enough, but remember that the Republican Party adopts a new set of rules every four years at the beginning of their Convention. What those rules that will apply for their convention and thereafter are for them to decide.
Of course, if they change their rules so that Trump is denied the nomination, then the Republican Party will cease to exist. Perhaps a new party will arise ourt of the ashes of the Republican Party that will purge themselves of the corrupt career politicians who believe that they are entitled to rule this country. If they embrace the voice of the people and get behind Mr. Trump and put their effort into defeating the Evil Shrew and presumptive leader of the Criminal Enterprise called the Democrat Party, we can move forward into the light and repair this great country.
It’s their country, it’s their party, it’s their call. I hope they don’t screw this up.
You don’t get it. Kristol and his butt-wipe “neo-cons” *want* to lose.
With Romney, Ryan, Clinton, Cruz—whomever—they get what they want: preservation of the political status quo ante.
IOW, what we’ve had for 25 years with Uniparty.
FBI FILES.
I agree. If the RNC pulls this kind of crap at the convention, see how fast Trump leads a populist new party away from the Republicans forever.
TC
So why bother with primaries if these so-called elitists think they know what is best for us
So they can be free to vote their conscience to do the unconscionable? The delegates are unbound to do what their states expected them to do. Need new rules.
Or, they are so full of hate at Donald, they aren’t even caring if they get Hillary.
So the so called delegates conscience is to subvert the voters. Sounds like brown-shirt logic to me.
No I get it. I have been saying if they somehow take trump down its either uniparty candidate 1 or uniparty candidate 2.
In which case we will see how they like “winning” but losing a whole bunch of seats, more than they can imagine. Even though they are uniparty, they cannot rule if they lose their seats.
Dead Enders.
You have to take care of the zombies, or they just keep coming back.
Who is Jay Cost?
