Description

 

Our once proud constitutional
republic has turned into a pure democracy.  In this episode of
the Conservative Conscience, Daniel and Joe demonstrate from the
outcome of the presidential and congressional primaries how pure
democracy leads to tyranny.  It would be much better to
conduct primaries through the Colorado convention model where
anyone can still participate, but the process tends to attract only
those voters truly engaged with the political reality and familiar
with the authentic records of each
candidate.  

The Trump campaign has successfully
framed the conventions as “voterless elections” orchestrated by the
establishment against the will of “the people.”  In reality,
as Daniel explains, the conventions are dominated by the most
committed conservative activists in each state who truly reflect
the will of the people and the Constitution, as envisioned by our
Founders in a republican form of government.  Pure democratic
primaries, on the other hand, reflect nothing more than the will of
Rupert Murdock who uses Fox News (Faux News) as a means to
manipulate public sentiment.  In this case, Fox’s agenda is
#NeverCruz; in other cases it will be against a candidate even
Trump voters like.

By going through his experience with
congressional primary challenges, Daniel makes a compelling case to
Trump voters that, in the long run, RINOS like John McCain will
always win reelection in democratic primaries.  The only way
to defeat them is through a convention that harnesses a republican
model of precinct or district
representation.
