We have been betrayed one more time. Why elect Republicans?
It's an excellent question, and my answer may not be satisfactory to everyone, and I understand that, but there is a reason. Think of it in terms of Ho-Hos. You may recall how Hostess recently went out of business, and was then revived by new ownership. Their signature products are already back on the shelf and selling well.
OK, now imagine we closed Hostess and dumped everything about it, the brand, the infrastructure, the employee base, everything, and just started totally and absolutely from scratch, call the product, I don't know, SR's Chocolate and Cream Rolles, or something. Whatever. How long would it take to ramp up that totally new and unknown product to anywhere close to the same sales volume as the original Ho-Ho? Anywhere from a long time to never.
My point is, we need a big, sophisticated infrastructure and an established (if damaged) brand to be even remotely competitive in the short term. I tried getting a Constitution Party branch going in my neck of the woods. All I got was a handful of regulars and everybody else refusing to participate based on the fear we would just be diluting the Republican presence, thereby strengthening the liberals/leftists. There are many other barriers, with ballot access issues high on the list.
So actually getting a third party to work is going to be nearly impossible. If we really want to win, we must win by pushing the R party back to its platform via a massive grassroots infestation of the local party apparatus, combined with fresh and electrifying national leadership pulling us toward conservatism from the top. And primary all RINO’s, contra Ann Coulter’s advice. I see no other way forward, apart from divine intervention.
