We tried that in Indiana and wound up with a 97% Baraqqi (Donnelly) in place of an 80% Republican (Lugar) for the next 6 years. It’s a bad tradeoff.
I was one of the early posters on FR and it was back before all this group think where we can't think for ourselves. Maybe we had group think but we were all trying to defeat Democrats. Something went wrong. I do not enjoy FR nearly as much as years ago.
