[SC Swamp Fox]

This is why I am a third party conservative as it is a shame to waste my vote on rinos or marxist liberals...

I have worked like mad to remove rinos (Graham) in the GOP primaries, but when it comes to the general election a third-party vote is usually a non-vote.

I voted third party for many years before I realized that third party votes result in more liberal candidates being elected.

You are correct in that the place to make the difference is in the primary.
