3rd party now...will never vote for a Republican that’s not in the mold of Ted Cruz.
While I support, and predict, a backlash against the cockroach Cochran (which will cost a seat, but what's the diff?), a third party is the prescription for failure.
Let's retake the GOP as traditional Republicans, that is the only way to take back our wonderful Country.
.
Don't quit the game, just fight harder, elect conservative Precinct leaders in each Precinct, who will go to State conventions and change voting rules.
That's where all of this is won or lost but most people don't know it.
That's also where you can effectively make the biggest difference.
If you don't know who your Precinct Committeemen and women are, shame on you.
Find out, and if they are RINOs, in two years or sooner, run against them and find a partner of the opposite sex who is also a blood brother/sister in conservative politics. Then become delegates to the District and State Party and vote for a new platform and new rules governing elections. Toss out "open primaries" for they always favor liberals and never help conservatives.
Toss out a RINO Secretary of State (presuming the office is held by the GOP) for it is your Sec. of State that can effect tightening election rules.
Lastly but not least, don't quit, don't go whining home with your tail between your legs, stand up and fight!
Don''t change your party, change party rules my friend.
Effect a bloodless coup of a RINO State Party!
