Post-Trump Republicans are looking for a new ally in 2022: Democrats

“We have to be able to have uneasy alliances, as uneasy as they may be in this moment,” Kinzinger told The Associated Press in an interview announcing the strategy last week.

Country First is hoping to flood this year’s Republican primary with nontraditional voters, and its website has information about how to change party registration in all 50 states, plus deadlines for registering in time for the primaries.

Known as “party raiding,” a 2021 Princeton University Electoral Innovation Lab study of party registration in Utah found most people who became Republican ahead of the state’s latest primary were unaffiliated voters and not Democrats. Country First, however, sees the tactic as critical in defending Congress, as well as state legislatures and offices that administer elections, like secretaries of state.

“In these safe Republican districts, if we can disrupt the typical primary voter base by encouraging people who don’t normally participate in the Republican primary to show up, we have a chance to unrig the system,” the Country First website says.

He thinks he’s bringing political science methodology into the primary, which is only going to make us end up with Rino’s getting elected. He’s looking for Democrats allies in his love moment for Biden and needs to lose badly.

Re: "Party raiding"

Instant solution...

A closed primary funded by the state GOP, or a state GOP convention with a closed election for delegates.

When we pay for it, we make ALL the rules.

In other words, they are trying to get Democrats to switch their registration to Republican for the sole purpose of voting for RINOs in Republican primaries.

The RINOs are going to get slaughtered and they know it. They are truly desperate now.

Post-Trump Republicans?

RINO Traitors who deserve to be turned out of public office forever for the damage they have done to the nation and the world. McConnell and his ChiCom bride are waist deep in this smelly mess.

“Fools”??

They are TRAITORS who are bought by Foreign Globalist Money.

They all took an oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies both Foreign and Domestic.

Hold them responsible for that. They deserve to be charged, tried, convicted and punished for that crime.

Open Primaries are a big problem. Why they are allowed is beyond me.

Deseret.com is a mouthpiece for the LDS Church. I’m guessing there is a lot of allegiance there to the Mitt Romney brand of politics.

I was one of those unaffiliated voter that became a Republican to vote in the primary. The reason I went unaffiliated is because I refused to belong to the same party as Mitt Romney and others of his ilk.

Unrigging the system means letting the people decide, not astroturfing.
