And voting for a third party candidate (who also is not perfect, as very few are in this world) who is guaranteed to lose, and will also likely allow a Dem to win, is not a winning tactic.

My thoughts are it's squandering your vote to make a point no one heard. But the opposition loves it. They'll encourage more of it this November. And some will fall for it. Again.

No third party is ever going to get a majority vote. Voting third party is no different than not voting at all.

The real answer is to get conservatives in local positions of power and move them up in the Republican Party. Conservatives CAN take over from the inside. Meanwhile we did manage to get conservatives into this race. We need to be loud and insistent, instead of wasting our precious votes on losing 3rd party candidates and calling it "principles".
