How Dare the GOP Leadership Override Republican Voters

In silent-era Hollywood movies, whenever a character, often a Boy Scout, wanted to be good -- or appear to be good -- he would resort to public acts of kindness toward strangers. The favorite silent movie scene was to show a frail little old lady standing on the side of the road. The "hero" would help her get to the other side, usually without asking if she wanted help. Often, he would pick the poor granny up and just carry her across, in a show of strength. The scene usually ended with the little old lady complaining that she never wanted to cross the street in the first place, but our "hero" had already rushed off to do some other good deed. If the little old lady was particularly feisty, she would give her helper a whack with her walking stick or handbag. ~~~~~ MEMO TO : the Republican National Committee, Chairman Reince Priebus, GOP congressional leadership, Mitt Romney, Niki Haley, Lindsay Graham, Marco Rubio, New Jersey newspapers, Fox News, and CNN with its gleeful predictions of a GOP implosion : This will come as a great shock to you, but you are not the Republican Party -- voters are the Republican Party. And Republican voters are ignoring you because they understand something you appear to have swept under the Washington carpet -- that it is still one-person-one-vote as usual in 2016. They know that the Republican voter turnout on Super Tuesday was between 25% and 107% above the last few elections -- they came to vote for their two candidates, not yours -- while Democrat voter turnout was down by an average of 30%. Republican voters also know that you have laughed in their collective face by ignoring them while cosying up to insider Washington politics-as-usual. They know this has led to Obamacare and Planned Parenthood being funded, the hollowing out of the US military and a $19 trillion debt used to further Barack Obama's socialist-progressive agenda. And they have concluded that your own cushy political careers are more important to you than the US Constitution. So, think about this -- Republican voters do not need or want your help in crossing the street. They are perfectly capable of crossing the street by themselves, where, on the other side, they will find what they want and what America needs -- a balanced budget, an energized economy that creates jobs, a strong military, control of the borders, international respect, a replacement for Obamacare, a defunding of Planned Parenthood, a Supreme Court Justice who will follow in Justice Scalia's footsteps -- in short, constitutional American government. And Republican voters have found their Crossing Guard. His name is Donald Trump. If you are unhappy that the Grand Old Party has finally recovered its traditional conservative voice, fine. You have choices. Join your own voters in making the White House Republican come November. Or try to find sufficient one-person-one-votes to defeat your own Party. Or -- campaign and vote for the Democrat -- probably Hillary -- taking with you your elitist class-and-race-and-ethnic-based false charges aimed at your own GOP member-voters. But, before you push any voting machine lever that keeps the Republican candidate chosen by GOP voters out of the White House, pause to consider the damage that socialist-progressive Democrats have done to America since 2008 -- Libya, Iraq, Syria, ISIS, Benghazi, Iran, IRS targeting of GOP supporters, Fast & Furious, determined efforts to erase the Second Amendment, lawless rule by executive orders, stifing anti-business regulations, anemic recovery with no real wage gains, vendettas against police led by the Attorney General -- oh yes, and that $19 trillion noose around your voters' necks.
