He's correct. Wagering the number of people who've dropped their republican affiliation for independent affiliation is quite substantial.

The political compass is pointing toward Tea Party and Conservatives, both of whom got them elected candidates in 2010. They'll be voting out RINOs in 2014, 2015, and 2016 - count on it GOP and RNC. Begin using the Ted Cruz model or become irrelevant.

Idiots should stay in GOP and vote for conservatives only in the primaries. No Cornball, Lindsey, etc. Leaving the party is no way to change it from within. Ultimately, their votes won't even be counted.

How can they vote out a RINO if they are not even in the party to vote in the primary? At least in the closed primary states
