Ok, here's a thread for tonight. I live in MA so I don't know when the polls close.
I am not an establishment Republican. I am extremely conservative. More so than Ted Cruz.
Politics has strategy and tactics. There are times when you have take less than you want and seek the opportunity to change it the first time a chink presents itself.
Good..... Drive careful and get home to Texas !
I have been here since 98 or 99 under a different moniker.
You mean vote for the pro-abortion gun grabber liberal republican candidate...
Why can't you say that? It's what you wanted me to do.
Your party will get conservative, or it will get destroyed.

It is much easier to change from inside.
A re-tread? Sniff...
I started off with a different screen name, and Jim kept my sign-in date when he switched my screen name.

No, that sounds like you had a good time and sometimes highjinks are called for in politics.
The rules inside the party are stacked for the establishment. They even re-stacked the rules at the Convention to make it harder for a conservative to get the nomination.
It will change. Or it will be destroyed. I don't care which. I'm not a Republican.

I sometimes log into DU and portraying myself as an extremely old Democrat I spout conservative talking points. Just boilerplate and it really gets them excited until I remind them that I am extremely old. Hahahaha.
They are so easily manipulated.....
I didn’t even try to trick the b@st@rds. I told ‘em exactly what I was doing and that I was a conservative. They still elected me.
I dpn’t think you have because your mo is to reject rather than to support with the intent to change the party when opportunities arise or when you make those opportunities arise.
Get involved and be relevant.
Does anyone understand what’s going on with the returns from Texas State Senate District 2? They are awfully slow coming in compared to the rest of the state. That District doesn’t have some “Cook County” type (except GOPe instead of ‘RAT) pols, do they? You know, the ones who withhold their counts until they know how many they need to deliver.
“...Get involved and be relevant.”

I agree. A good book for folks to read is this:
I write a bit sluggishly because I am writing this evening on my phone not my computer.
Looks like they’re all in to me.

Ahh..nevermind, the counts just came in and Hall won.
OK, thanks. Glad to see that Hall won.
