(Freedom.news) Longtime conservative thinker and author George Will recently “left” the Republican Party because with presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump likely to be the party’s standard bearer in November, Will says that’s not the party he joined years ago.

A #nevertrump guy, Will is now being joined by another crybaby Republican – a convention delegate who is suing to change the party’s nomination rules because his candidate couldn’t beat Trump in a fair-and-square primary matchup.

As reported by AMI Newswire, Carroll B. Correll Jr., a Virginia delegate to the GOP’s national convention in Cleveland, filed suit in federal district court late Friday seeking a “temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction” so he does not have to cast his vote for the winner of Virginia’s presidential primary, Donald Trump. He wanted Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

In the suit, Correll, a long time Republican party activist, says he has “not yet determined for which candidate he will cast his vote for” at the July nominating convention. But he has “resolved” that he will not vote for Trump, whom Correll says “is unfit to serve as President of the United States.”

Correll’s suit challenges the constitutionality of a Virginia law that binds Democratic and Republican convention delegates alike to vote for the winner of the respective party’s presidential primary.

In a statement posted to Twitter Friday evening, Correll’s attorney, David Rivkin, said Virginia’s law “is a clear violation of the speech and association rights protected by the First Amendment.”

“No state has legal authority to regulate political parties’ national conventions,” he said, “or tell the delegate how to cast their convention ballots.”

Unless, of course, Cornell’s preferred candidate had actually won the primary.

The Republican Party of Virginia, which is not named in the lawsuit, issued a statement Friday evening on its Facebook page saying the rules for delegates “set down by both the Republican National Committee and the Republican Party of Virginia are clear, and the delegate allocation set by the voters in the March primary remain unchanged.”

Under Virginia’s rules, delegates to the national convention are bound through the first round of balloting. But not all of the state’s delegates are committed to vote for Donald Trump, who defeated Florida Sen. Marco Rubio 35 to 32 percent in the state’s primary.

That seems clear enough. And had this been a candidate Cornell preferred, the GOP wouldn’t be dealing with this.

Here’s the thing, though – and it’s something that guys like Will and Cornell would never admit: Republicans like them are precisely why Donald Trump vanquished 16 other candidates to come out on top as the party’s presidential choice.

What is it going to take for them to realize that GOP voters are so sick and tired of precisely this kind of chicanery and political gamesmanship – not to mention the fact that the party has had no desire to challenge President Obama, the most constitutionally compromised president in our history, on virtually anything?

As for Will, what has he and other members of the conservative pundit class ever accomplished for God and country? They can’t even take credit for Ronald Reagan, whom they opposed (in favor of establishment man George H. W. Bush, whom Reagan gracefully made his VP – and who lost to Bill Clinton after just one term). They pontificate and bloviate and spew out reams of policy, none of which ever gets implemented, and to what end, other than to maintain their place in GOP aristocracy? Under their “leadership” our country has steadily moved to the Left for decades; what good is a good idea if you can’t get it implemented?

It’s sad enough when the bloviators can’t even admit that they’re wrong. But like a boxer who stays in the game well past his prime, it is even sadder when they can’t see (and accept) how irrelevant and ineffective they have become.
