That is why anti-amnesty candidates should maintain third-party ballot position against those Rino Republican Representatives who are likely to turn traitor after the primaries. If a third-party anti-amnesty candidate is on the ballot a credible threat can be made that his candidacy will siphon off enough votes from the Republican to permit the Democrat to win. This threat will be made clear to the Republican base so long as the Republican candidate fails to make ironclad, written in blood, promises to vote against amnesty-for what they might be worth.

I think Bob Goodlatte’s primary challenger dropped out and ran third party.

unfortunately in ca, the republocrat party here has already figured out a way around that scanario. they’ve outlawed all but the top two after primaries.

in safe-seat, jerry-rigged GOP districts here, that means that it will usually be rep vs rep or dem vs dem.

look for the dems and reps to set this up crock of a system in other states as well.

Good idea prior to the election, but in the lame duck, any gop-e who have lost and any gop-e who intend to retire or any gop-e who can be bought will side with democrats as Boehner ignores the Hastert rule one more time.
