failure of the Democrats: They have been replacing popular sovereignty–America’s heritage—with rule by experts who claim to know what is right for the populace. That violates the voters’ belief in their role and their right to decide how the country is ruled. Instead of popular sovereignty and the rule of law, we get numerous regulations chosen by officials. That’s government by rulers, not by rule of law. The so-called Affordable Care Act is an example of the choices made for the public that are costly, unpopular, and politically toxic. And that is just one example of the regulated economy created by the Obama administration. In the 2010, 2014, and 2016 elections, voters signaled that they did not want such an economy. They wanted popular sovereignty and the rule of law.
