Thank you for posting the transcript which confirms that Levin did not advocate running a third-party in opposition to Rino incumbents in selected races.
Levin leaves it in the air saying, " I don’t know why we shouldn’t educate these people and punch them back in the nose – pick one race and say you’re going to lose this race here. " Levin himself would be the first to ask, who is "we?" Does he mean his own microphone, does he mean conservatives in general?
This is why I think you need the vehicle of a third-party candidate. Policy and the person become one in politics, especially American politics and one needs a paladin to advance the argument against that Rino and make it clear that there is a coherent coordinated movement bringing him down for good and sound policy reasons.
If we could not muster the votes for Bevin in the primary, how can we expect to muster them for a TP candidate in the general? ~Devil’s Advocate
It would please me immensely to see Levin & Rush coordinate such a movement. I participated in Operation Chaos in 2008 in Texas, as did many, many others. We won the nomination for Hillary. Then Obama stole it from her via caucus fraud. (Witnessed that myself.) Which is to say that a coordinated movement can succeed. Maybe I need to share my Operation Chaos experience with Levin.
