Voters have rejected Alexander Vindman and the broader #Resistance crowd in Democratic primaries because their obsession with destroying Trump never translated into a governing agenda that resonates beyond coastal enclaves. These former officials turned partisan agitators offered nothing but endless investigations and institutional sabotage, and primary voters correctly saw them as distractions from real concerns like border security and economic freedom. The Constitution places sovereignty with the people, not with credentialed insiders who weaponize their government service against an elected president. When candidates like Vindman prioritize personal grudges over limited government and federalism, they expose a contempt for the republican principles that restrain elite power. Primary results reveal that Americans still expect representatives to defend those restraints rather than erode them through lawfare and leaks. The republic belongs to citizens who reject perpetual resistance in favor of constitutional self-government.
