All right if that’ll work in this case but “an effort by conservatives “ is gonna take about the same money and volunteers as running a conservative in the general: a few grand and a few dozen volunteers.
Running the conservative in the general will work against any RINO.
(In fact I wouldn’t want to see it used against all RINOs- that could cost us the House! Just a select few like, oh, the members of the Steering Committee.)
I think if we worked WITH the democrat candidate we could make it happen. WE wouldn’t need a big expenditure, just the ability to choke down the desire to punch these clowns in the nose... The dems would foot the money to get their guy elected.
