IMO there’s a good chance 2016 will be different in that regard.

“IMO there’s a good chance 2016 will be different in that regard.”

Perhaps conservatives should vote Democrat, vote Libertarian, or stay home to send a message. The current conservative approach of automatically voting for the GOP candidate in the fall, even if that candidate is “least worst” is not advancing the conservative cause since the GOPe takes the conservative vote for granted.

My GOP representative and GOP Senators are establishment toads. My Republican state senator will not answer a letter and her staff is incapable of having a coherent telephone conversation with a constituent regarding policy. If Jeb is the GOP presidential nominee, I may just vote a straight Democrat ticket to protest the GOPe.

A Democrat landslide in 2016 because conservatives stay home or vote “D” would force the GOPe to cater to conservatives or risk the party going the way of the Whigs.
