... IF INSTEAD the GOP's primary structure ends up nominating another Democrat Lite Collectivist Republican, perhaps Coca Cola, as THE "pragmatic" alternative to Obama's Pepsi, which is what happened in 2012 and will probably happen in 2016 ...
IF that happens in 2016, I hope Palin, or a Palin Cruz combo, runs as an Independent and throws off the Republican stigma of weenie compromiser. I think she/they would have a genuine chance at winning, especially if vote fraud was even half-way cleaned up, and AT WORST it would throw whichever won, Coke or Pepsi, the Uniparty Democrat Republican versus the Democrat, into a weak plurality status, where less than half of Americans support them. That ALONE would be better than either Coke or Pepsi winning with a majority.
2.) Even if she did, I think Palin is smart enough to distance herself from the self serving crooks who run the national Tea Party organizations.
“An official TEA Party, anyone?”
Maybe. I’d just prefer a “Conservative” party.... there’s already an “American Conservative Party”. But regardless, I think it’s become apparent that after Cantor lost, the GOP establishment STILL isn’t going to take heed of conservative voters, and is going to double-down in RINOville with McCarthy as speaker.
We have to let the GOP die. There’s no way to save it. Time for the GOP to return to the ashes of the Whigs that spawned them. Let the GOP rest in peace. Move on to the next party, an explicitly conservative party.
How about a FREE REPUBLIC party? Members would be called FREE REPUBLICANS.
Adopt them into our homes. I’ll take seven!
Latin Americans just love it when we visit and steal their children.
I’m all for it. Wouldn’t blink, wouldn’t look back.
NO. Sooner or later a centralized party will care more about its own future than America's future. They'll become the Tea Partocrats. That's why they wisely decided against centralization. Keep it grassroots and GO Citizens for Self-Govennace's Convention of States!
“An official TEA Party, anyone?”
Not me. Electoral politics isn’t going to fix this.
