RNC? This is the MA Rep Party we are watching, and I don’t think that the RNC has anything to do with nominations in Massachusetts.
In New York, there is a separate Conservative Party, but I don’t think that this would work in MA or most other states. NY allows a candidate to be listed by more than one party. Thus the Conservative Party can nominate the same candidate as the Republicans, or a different one, should the situation dictate.
Most states do not allow that.
Even so, Massachusetts is a double-extra-special case where a third party might actually be worth it, at least on the state level.
In New Jersey, it does not work, because the nice-sounding third parties are usually run by unknowns with no money, and sometimes with kookie ideas, and the better attempts have only helped elect Democrats.
The best plan is simply to sit out the election, and work to defeat the people at the convention who supported the crappy ticket they came up with.
They don’t...
