How is it “killing them off”?
They would just not have automatic ballot spots. They would have to do the ground work and hustle for signatures and deadlines.
This would force the GOP to rebuild their ground level machine and not depend on being a “Major Party” to avoid all of the nitty gritty work.
This would be a good and strong building exercise for them.
The Party Elders didn’t listen to the people about problems Maes had and pushed him anyway. The more people learned about him, the more didn’t like him.
Wait, who is really at fault here for Dan Maes having won the nomination? I thought McInnis was the establishment "party elders" candidate and Maes was the Tea Party backed candidate?
Wasn't this a case of the establishment candidate being horribly flawed (plagiarism charges) AND the Tea Party backed candidate being downright awful as well?
Either way, as much as I hate 3rd party voting, in this particular case there is no other option than to vote Tancredo.
“The Party Elders didn’t listen to the people about problems Maes had and pushed him anyway. “
Nobody ‘pushed’ Maes, McInniss imploded and Maes became the nominee by default.
At this point, CO conservatives need to unify around Tancredo. Painful for me to say that because I didnt like what Tanc did, but at this point, he’sthe only viable conservative. Tanc for Gov.
