Gee, his toddy Eric Cantor lost to an underfunded no one in hisprimary.

Boehner lost 29% of the primary vote to two unknown underfunded nobodies with little to no name recognition

So when the House Majority Leader can muster less than 75% of his own parties votes, he is most certainly vulnerable. A motivated well funded candidate could certainly create a World of trouble for him.

The fact that he had TWO challengers in the Primaries caused him to spend millions of dollars on his reelection.

He spent more than $9.5 million against them and the Democrat whom between the three of them they spent less than $25,000 combined.

If a conservative can not win a Republican Primary,he will not win a general election. Certainly he will not win one as a candidate for a third party. Just ask Jim Condit Jr. the Constitution Party candidate that came in a distant third place against Boehner in the General Election in the OH 8th district.

The only way to get rid of them is to primary them. Take over the party on a local level and his base dries up.

The conservative doesn’t have to win.
It’s called “strategy”, and until we use it we’ll never change the Party.

One of three things will happen when a conservative runs against a RINO in the general election:
A. The RINO sees his problem, mends his ways and gets re-elected. This is the most likely.
B, The RINO doesn’t and loses. Putting a Dem who acts the same as the RINO in. Second most likely.
C, (Very much the least likely) The conservative wins.

The Dem winning DOESN’T MATTER IF WE STILL HAVE THE MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE! It gives us a stronger conservative majority in the House.
The strategy doesn’t work in Senate or presidential elections, the dynamics are not the same.

A RINO can’t be beat in a primary because he’s usually from a “purple” district. Cantor was from a strongly conservative district.
