It's sad so many here on FR are so pessimistic or downright immature when it comes to what it actually takes to win at politics.
One loss sends them over the edge, ready for a third party, which loses each and every time (Ross Perot, anyone?)
What works is a concerted effort to "Retire a RINO!" We did just that here in KS in 2012!
That took lots of effort and more than one electoral season to finally accomplish.
It also took lots of grassroots working tirelessly (again, I'm not certain a few here on FR have ever joined in a grassroots group to work hard to oust a bad politician, or just give lip service and sour grapes rather actually doing anything, as it's easier to chant third party than try to clean up the party that has a platform that most represents conservatives.)
National Elections are over and done, Native Sunflower. There is no National Election of any US Federal Office. Pessimistic immaturity, has absolutely everything to do, with Our current reality, sing-song.

One loss?
I've come to accept that there's a civil war in the Repub Party and the Roves will not surrender. He doesn't have to...he can raise millions.
I don't believe the RINOs can be removed from positions of power.
I don't believe they can be relied upon to protect our most basic rights, such as secure borders and free, fair elections.
I would look at a serious Third Party.
