At a minimum, it’s time to have some sort of conservative, or Tea Party pre-convention to select a conservative candidate to run in the Republican presidential primaries. In 2008 and 2012 we had crowded fields with several fairly conservative candidates and then a RINO or two. Each time we ended up with a RINO who won with little more than 35% of the vote at the point where the winner was apparent.
This splitting the conservative primary vote is a proven formula for nominating RINOs. And it could give us Jeb Bush in 2016.
If we run any kind of Bush, whether it be Jeb Bush, George P. Bush, McKenzie Bush, Nigel Bush, Bubba Bush, Trimm “Ed” Bush or whomever, we deserve to lose.
That’s better than a 3rd party. PACs can do a lot with supporting individual candidates. This is good for all levels of government.
