If conservatives energize PRIMARIES to overthrow leftist weasels within the republican party, it will be a great advance for the cause.
If a conservative party gains prominence nationwide, and takes away a significant number of votes from Republicans, it will be a huge gain for leftists. George Soros would write a big check to help it along.
The Hoffman race was a special case, because there was NO primary, the candidate was chosen by party officials according to a special case of election law there.
I would have supported the Conservative in the primary and then refused to pick the least socialist out of Scuzzie and the Dem.
