A Republic, not a Democracy - Ep. 30

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.
