Closed primaries would be a good idea too.

Dems didn’t turn out for Thad because they want the republican to win the election. I believe it is the same reason Lindsey Graham keeps getting back in.
GOPe has influence of controls of rules about primaries. It should be painfully obvious now that GOPe are democrats with ‘Rs’ on their lapels. They have most of the bases covered including most primaries.
I am thinking the only two ways to break the lock hold of democrats and their GOP infiltrators are:
1. Support GOPe in gaining control of Senate and returning filibuster rule to traditional status. This allows Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and others to shut down any progressive legislation that the democrats and their GOPe agents try and ram through. It also buys time to get more Tea Party conservatives into Congress in 2016 and Ted Cruz/Sarah Palin into the White House in January 2017.
2. Go full bore 3rd Party and form a coalition with majority status made from Conservatives, Perot blue collars, Reagan democrats, Independents and Libertarians. This has the advantage of neutering the GOPe. It also opens an opportunity to attract disgruntled urban black leaders who have voiced a willingness to join the Tea Party.
If I can I will steer major funding to a Tea Party Convention in 2016. I am working 24/7 on funding this and hope to have the funding in place in January 2015.
