That is why anti-amnesty candidates should maintain third-party ballot position against those Rino Republican Representatives who are likely to turn traitor after the primaries. If a third-party anti-amnesty candidate is on the ballot a credible threat can be made that his candidacy will siphon off enough votes from the Republican to permit the Democrat to win. This threat will be made clear to the Republican base so long as the Republican candidate fails to make ironclad, written in blood, promises to vote against amnesty-for what they might be worth.
