Re: Unbound: The Conscience of a Republican Delega

Senator Mike Lee has made some very good comments in this article.

Mike Lee predicts backlash after RNC smothers delegate rebellion

But Lee said that the putdown of the “conscience” effort could spark a backlash.

“Now if we do it this way, I think the pressure doesn’t just go away. I think doing it that way would have allowed for some of the steam to be released, some of the pressure. This doesn’t just go away,” he said.

“Instead of focusing on a message that could truly unite the party, you’ve got all these people in there who are shouting about ‘Darn it, we’ve got to be united. And to be united we’ve got to shut you guys up. We’ve got to lock up the rules, so that anyone who disagrees with us will be silenced. That’s how we’re going to be unified.'"

“A lot of people put on a lot of pressure one way or another, whether it was in the media or social media. I certainly got a lot of calls from a lot of people in the party and within the Trump campaign who wondered what I was going to do, who were nervous. I was very candid with them, every single one of them, including especially the people with the Trump campaign. I told every single one of them: ‘These are my concerns. I am very concerned that if you clamp down on this, this is not going to be good for you, and it’s not going to be good for the party.’”

What does "FREE" mean to you in that scenario? It means free of the Republicans, free from the Democrats. Ann Coulter's book, "In Trump We Trust"... Is he is own God?
Trump said he would like them to win it. Hopefully that makes it simple for you.

“Well, I’d like them to do that. But I don’t mind being a free agent, either.”

Meaning - I could take it either way, the later being my preference.

Hopefully that makes it simple for you.

Well, I'd like a job that pays $200,000 a year but I don't mind having a lower paying job either.

Does that mean I don't want a 200,000 dollar a year job?

Well I'd like them to do that but I don't mind being a free agent either.

Does that mean he don't want them to do that (win congress)?

Care to show an apples to apples comparison so I can see the difference?
