Currently the fielded voting strength of the GOP-e is about 15% of all Republican votes. We have several different Conservative factions within the GOP coalition who have more voters than that. Together, hard core Conservative voters are at least 40% of the total party vote. There's another group of traditional Republicans who will usually turn out for whoever is nominated but they don't have any core values that influence party ideology.

I think it has come time to simply expel the GOP-e lock, stock and barrel. They contribute little to party success these days, so why should we allow them to run their toadies in our primaries!

Unfortunately that 40% or 60% isn’t organized enough to do anything effective. While conservatives argue amongst themselves, the libertarians are taking over the party apparatus going state to state. On balance a good thing in my view, but they aren’t traditional conservatives in their views. And they’ll deal with the gop e in a heartbeat if it helps them to achieve their aims.

If he’s not defeated in the GOP primary, the best strategic move is to vote for the Dem. Loss of one house seat is affordable. Vacating the House leadership big plus.

Hey, Weeping John, just being practical you know, the Constitution is just too big to fail. It’s that thing about omelets.
