A conservative should run as a democrat and ask republicans to do cross over and vote for them.

They’ve been doing this for years.

We can do the same.

And will.

Classic projection.

Crossover is what’s keeping McConnell, Collins and Murkowski around.

We had some good candidates in the primary and the Democrats switching subverted the primary. That must stop. Now we have another batch of RINOs on the November ballot.

Cheaters said what!? Can't make this kind of thing up. The felons who steal, cheat, lie, and even murder to get their way and illegitimately win elections say republicans are terrified of fair and free election. Wow. Gotta appreciate their gall though. They have dump trucks full of it.

This has been an obvious - and easily corrected - problem for the GOP for decades.

We need to pay for our own primaries.

Our money - our rules.

Government money - government rules.

In addition, we need to trademark the words Republican Party and GOP.

Here in Washington state, any eligible candidate - for a primary or general election - can ID his ballot name with "Prefers Republican" or "Prefers GOP."

In some state wide elections, there can be a dozen candidates with the Republican or GOP label.

The GOP needs to have its own primaries or nominating conventions, and the general election must have just one candidate who identifies as Republican or GOP.

It has been alleged that close to 20,000 Democrats made the switch.

Here's a tip -- did you know you can get the actual numbers from the secretary of state?

Are you sure that these aren't people leaving the Democratic Party in disgust, as has been happening lately in all states?

These are the same douchebags that say your voice shouldn't be heard on abortion...unless you're a woman.

NY has one good thing in their election laws. They have closed primaries. You can switch party registration whenever you want, but you can vote in the new party’s primary until after you have voted in a general election. It makes interfering in other parties’ primaries difficult.

Often in our elections in California, there are only two
Democrats on the ballot when it come to election day.

It isn’t that they simply want to help us choose who gets to
run for the party, they want to get it so no Republican can
appear on the ballot.

Along with open primaries comes to idea that only the two
getting the top votes get to appear on the election day
ballot.

If it’s two Democrats, they love it!

We haven’t had two Republicans on the ballot on an
election day yet.

Say no to crossover voting. It dilutes our candidates
votes, so that they get fewer than the top two democrats
do.

“kicking liberal voters to the curb.”

Biased, much? The author could have easily written “restoring sanity to the primary candidate selection process.”

I wonder where I can find these liberals in the gutters. I’d like to go give them another swift kick.

Here's a thought...

Let's tell Hollywood that everyone should be allowed to vote for the Best Actor and Picture awards at the Academy Awards.

Why should only actors and film people be allowed to vote for their awards? Are they “terrified” of fair and free elections?

Ha!

It is the Dems/Marxists/progressives who just HATE free and fair elections.

And everyone, EVERYONE knows this.
