My plan for a third party would be as follows:
2014: establish tea party organizations throughout the country at state level. In states such as NY and CT, where they can cross-endorse candidates on the ballot, establish such so tea party-endorsed Republicans can be listed there. In all ststes, have nominating conventions before the GOP primary, so there can be a unified backing of tea party GOP candidates at all levels of office.
2016: also have a national nominating convention before the GOP primaries, so a single tea party candidate for president can be backed nationwide.
2018 and 2020: if all those tea party nominations weren’t enough to get a conservative president and reform the GOP in 2016, move to put the tea party on the ballot in 50 states, and by 2020, look to elect a tea party president.
OK, how are you going to make sure that all of those who want to vote for your candidates are pure enough? Who is welcome? Won’t you be right back to where the Republican party is today?
