I think the real question is one of whether the Republicans will be a plus or minus for the Republicans in the midterm elections.

With only a few voices crying out in the Washington wilderness, and seemingly none save that few to challenge the illegal acts of this administration, what reason would the average schmuck have to quit watching the ongoing saga of Honey Boo-Boo and go cast a ballot for people of either party who are just going to screw him over anyway?

The Republican Party has built one heck of a track record for throwing Conservatives under the bus--so much so that many Conservatives do not feel they have any representation in DC from either party.

Short of galvanizing voters into voting so overwhelmingly for a conservative candidate that the candidate prevails against the imported multiple and undocumented voters of the Left, the status quo will prevail, because those in the party, and to a similar degree, the electorate, want just that.

Think about it rationally for a moment. How many voters are likely to step into a booth next November and ask themselves, “Whom would Sen. Cruz want me to vote for?’’ It’s much more likely they will be asking themselves, “Who is Ted Cruz and why in the world am I thinking about him?’’

In my case particularly, Bill Straub could never be more wrong.

I hope he is a big MINUS for Republicans and a plus for Constitutional conservatives in the primaries.

If Ted Cruz isn’t good for the Republican Party than neither am I. I’m already half gone. No new RINOs.

FIRST: Ya gotta define “Republican.”

Right now, the term is almost meaningless.

It’s actually easy to answer this question.

1) Voters adore a clear, concise message, even more than the content of that message.

2) Only the media likes and demands that elections are beauty contests and horse races. The public wants knock down-drag outs, a clear choice between one side or the other.

3) Political losers are those who try to run with the other parties’ platform. “Moderates” only win when the voters are exhausted by radical change and just want peace and quiet, to be left alone, and to not see the BLOFUS every time they look at the news.

High ground, low ground, all the ground. The only ground socialists/totalitarians should hold is that in which they are buried.

DEPOPULATE liars/criminals/socialists/totalitarians from the body politic.

As you DEPOPULATE them from your life, you’ll see how easy it is to…

They will put up three or four conservatives to divide the vote like they always do. FR will melt down.
