Republican Opinion Essay

821 Words4 Pages

As a registered republican voter, I feel it is important to write and share my opinion and observations of the recent republican primaries and the recent republican convention. For the first time in my 33 years voting as a republican, this is the first time I have been ashamed and embarrassed to admit my party affiliation, nor have I felt this level of disgust for the Republican Party, particularly what I would refer to as the Establishment, or the current republican congressmen currently in office.

At a time when our county needs courageous leadership more than ever, the Republican establishment quickly demonstrated they are not prepared or even equipped to lead this country. The actions of the republican establishment during the recent …show more content…

For the establishment to actively contemplate and strategize an avenue to change convention rules, to take delegation votes away from Donald Trump is an egregious insult to the American public who voted in the primary. The actions of the party, to include those delegates who conspired to turn those votes over to a different candidate, who by the way did not exist, sadly make the Democratic Party appear to they be the party of the American public. Yes, a significant percentage of voters think the Democratic Party is corrupt, however, even contemplating a method to alter or reallocate those votes designated for Donald Trump screams of the parties contempt for the American …show more content…

That is a wait and see question, but the American voters have spoken loudly that they have no confidence in the current career politicians. And yet instead of listening to the American voters, the Republican Party desperately attempted to discredit the desires of the American voters, whom the career politicians were elected to represent and substitute their own desires. Is that anymore corrupt or dishonest than the numerous scandals effecting the country in the past eight years? How anything can be more disingenuous and in-american than engaging in activities, such as we have seen once Donald Trump received the necessary votes to be the candidate, than disregarding the wishes and votes of the American

Super Delegate In The Democratic Party

480 Words | 2 Pages

The democrats have stayed with this system more so than the republicans because Nixon and Reagan buried their democrat rivals in the general elections and won by landslides so, they decided that when they have a candidate that they know will not stand up well against the rival party, that they have the ability to impact who gets nominated and possibly field a more successful candidate. If I would have been asked this question prior to this election, I probably would have said “Get rid of the superdelgates,” but now I’m not 100% sure. With a candidate like Trump, you see that he has a great voter following, more than anyone thought would ever take him seriously. Imagine if the Democratic Party had a candidate like Trump (some see Bernie Sanders as a “grassroots activist” in the Democratic Party although Bernie is not emotionally and negatively divisive). Trump may take the popular vote but, he may not get the “unpledged" delegates (Republican Party) or enough total delegates to get the nomination and for me, that would be a “pro” for the “super or “unpledged” delegate

Why Do Texas Have Responsible Parties

758 Words | 4 Pages

American political parties are not responsible parties by which i mean they have neither centralized control over nominations and financing or the power to impose on the party platform on members. The parties in texas are especially weak,because neither the primary election or the party organization is important in deciding who is nominated to office, and candidates rely on their own fundraising more than their party to help them get elected. Texas should have disciplined parties in the future because it would make more intelligent voting, encourage more people to vote, the candidates chosen would be loyal and not betray the public's trust, and office and public policy would be easier to enact while more self consistent. A responsible party is when a party has centralized control over nominations and financing and the power to impose the party platform on members. Election campaigns are often times confusing simply

Congressional Polarization

572 Words | 3 Pages

After voters participate, all the votes are counted and only the top two candidates, regardless of their party, can proceed to the general election. In short, “top two” primaries allow every eligible voter to participate, but only permits the two most popular candidates to proceed to a general election. While no reform is perfect, “top two” nonpartisan primaries successfully minimizes, and even eliminates, many of the major problems associated with a closed primary party system. Arguably, the biggest problem with the primary system many states currently possess is that they result in the nomination of ideologically extreme candidates, who are not politically aligned with the majority of their electorate.

Electoral College Abolition

1511 Words | 7 Pages

Williams suggests that the founders thought that the Electoral College was a sensible plan, but things don’t always work out how they should (28). It is a relic of America’s predemocratic past when leaders were scared of having too much power over the people (Klinker, McClellan 1). Congressional Digest suggests that we are stuck in a time warp (31). We still rely on a horse-and-buggy election system in the age of the internet (Congressional Digest 31). Congressional Digest points out the fact that voters today know more about the candidates than they did 200 years ago (19).

Argumentative Essay: The Battle Of The Tea Party

774 Words | 4 Pages

I urge the leaders of my party to do something different: to take the offensive for our beliefs rather than surrendering before the battle begins. Too often Washington looks like two sides of the same coin to the American people. We have a chance to change that and we must act this week. I hear our leaders preaching of the necessity of 60 votes to defund anything. This is a warped and completely backwards mis-reading of our role.
