I wish Repulicans would leave the party in droves but of course they can’t do that. They have to stay and take the abuse so they can vote in the primaries. It’s a sickening situation. How the hell can this crap be stopped?
Because if we don’t stay and vote in the primaries, it is even more difficult to rid ourselves of these incumbent parasites. My position is, vote for the candidate in the Republican primary who is prolife and supports limited govt, etc., but then if that candidate does not win the primary, vote the conservative third party in the general election. This sends a much better message to the elites just how tenuous their hold on power really is.
Registering independent does nothing to decrease the power or eliminate the power of the Country Club/RINOs that are running the party, indeed it strengthens their position, as they see they are even less accountable to the base, and need not fear the primary. Then vote for the most conservative candidate in the general, including third party!
This makes it crystal clear to the RINOs how little support they really have, and that if they keep this up, they will lose (eventually.) If every conservative thought as you do, we would still have Cantor. If we all thought like you, McDaniel and other good conservatives would never have stood for election. While we lost McDaniel and other good conservatives, the dishonesty of the elite was exposed for all to see, and that otherwise would not have surfaced.
Allow an old lady, who first became politically aware in the days of Barry Goldwater, to be frank with you, young man (or young woman.) Going independent is a very wrong thing to do! Get yourself down to your local registrar of voters, and re-register tomorrow!
Going independent is EXACTLY what the liberal GOP elites want every single conservative to do, they do not want conservatives voting in the primaries!
