I generally join the strongest party wherever I am living. This gives me access to the primaries. If we can get the most conservative candidates on the ticket most likely to win, then conservatism ( and our nation) wins.

I'm sorry, but this defines "conservatism" by whatever canyon -- large or small -- existing in contrast to your "most conservative candidate" approach.

With this approach, you get your frog-in-the-kettle so-called "conservative" -- he just gets boiled a few degrees hotter every election -- until you wind up having 1960s Democrats who were on the average more "conservative" than your 2012 or 2016 "Republicans."

In the main election, I **vote** for the most conservative candidate. That person is usually a RINO Republican.

Because someone is a Democrat that doesn't mean he votes Democratic.

Also,....Maybe we could learn something from the communist Antonio Gramsci. He believed in gradually infiltrating society's institutions and corrupting them. Maybe...Conservatives could use the same tactics by invading Marxist organizations and corrupting their purpose to our good?
