Mona Charen told John Batchelor on the John Batchelor Show, June 9, that she does not want Donald J. Trump to win. She went on to say that he is not fit to be president. Ms. Charen is said to be a columnist, political analyst and book author. LPR even thnks she is said to be “conservative.” She predicts that the Republicans will unite in opposition if Hillary Clinton is elected. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Republicans in Congress will be no more effective in checking Hillary Clinton’s expected abuse of power than they were in keeping Presidnt Obama within constitutional grounds. Republicans just don’t have the stomach to counter vicious, leftist demagoguery. LPR predicts that by spring of 2017, Mona Charen will tell John Batchelor – if conservative radio survives the H. Clinton presidency, “What could I have been thinking in accepting a Hillary Clinton presidency?”

As LPR heard Charen chatting with John Batchelor, LPR sensed that she would not mind if the primary route for presidential nomination were replaced by an Elitist National Council. Clearly, Ms. Charen rather disdains the choice of Republican primary voters.

Perhaps, however, Ms. Charen will realize that the Electoral College was intended as a kind of elitist national council, with the people choosing persons of political discernment to pick the president. There’s the answer to the presumed Clinton-Trump choice. Ms. Charen ought to take the Electoral College seriously and ask that the electors choose None of The Above.
