The strategy at your local elections should be
vote against the RINO in the primary
against the democRat in the general.
I would say this would have to apply on the federal level as well.
My strategy is that I no longer cast a vote for someone who does not represent my values. This strict party following has done nothing but assist in destroying this country, IMHO. Honestly, we have democrats in the Deep South that are far more conservative than the republicans in the northeast. This is no longer about party ... it is about the survival of the republic and its taxpaying citizens.
