“In this country, choosing representatives to do our work of deliberating is a time-honored method established at the constitutional founding. So we have the Electoral College and Congress with the House of Representatives and the Senate. In our caucus-convention system, local precincts meet, discuss issues and vote on delegates to represent them at the convention. Delegates can meet individually with candidates and probe more deeply into their background, goals and issue stands. . . . .Mr. Reiser makes little effort to conceal his contempt for conservatives (he calls extremists) in the Republican Party, but the majorities in Congress, governorships and state legislatures, and even the presidency, the party has achieved are due to the energy of the conservatives and the tea party movement and the Democratic overreach.”
