The early 2024 GOP primaries demonstrate the problem perfectly. I can sum up the problem in just three words, a “BIG TENT THEORY.” Years ago, the RNC (Republican National Committee) decided to change America’s pro-Constitution conservative party into a BIG TENT party allowing anti-Republican voters to participate in Republican Party primaries.
In the 2024 Iowa Caucuses a couple days ago, the stark example of the problem was in full view. Former President Donald Trump won the State Presidential Nomination by winning 98 of 99 counties with solid support from over 51% of the caucus votes across the state. Distant 3rd place finisher, Nimrata Nikki Randhawa of India, won just one county by just one vote. The devil is in the details…
While Trump won across all demographics in 98 of 99 counties, Nimrata Nikki Randhawa won one county by one vote, where 50% of caucus voters in the county were democrats who changed party registration for caucus day, before changing registration back to democrat after the caucus. In other words, Nikki won that one county by one vote, thanks to democrat voters, not republican voters. Of course, her biggest campaign donors are all democrats, too.
The #1 Cause
Some State Parties allow anyone to vote in GOP primaries, anyone. Other States require Republican Party registration…but allow non-republican voters to leap back and forth between parties to select Republican candidates in the GOP primary, whom they will vote against in the general elections.
How can true Republicans get true Republican candidates while letting their political opposition to select GOP candidates in republican primaries, whom they will later vote against in the general elections? It’s impossible…maybe by intent.
“The new poll shows Trump with a massive 61%-34% lead over Haley among registered Republicans, with Haley topping Trump 44%-38% among independents.”
By independents, they mean democrats. A majority of registered independent voters are former registered democrats and the past voting trends of the group confirm it. According to recent polling data from December 2023, 40% of US voters are now registered independent, while 29% are still registered democrat, 28% republican.
As demonstrated in Iowa and now the current New Hampshire polls, if only republicans voted in republican primaries, solid conservatives would be nominated by wide margins in every primary contest. But when everyone is allowed to vote in republican primaries, the outcome is quite different.
Registered independents are now the largest voting bloc of the three. However, even though they register as independent, their voting trends are not independent at all. The vast majority still vote either republican or democrat in every election, especially in elections concerning federal public offices.
“While the former president holds a commanding 6%-18% lead over his former U.N. ambassador among self-described conservatives, Haley leads 56%-27% among those who consider themselves moderate or liberal.” SOURCE
The #2 Cause
If you got mad and left your home because you don’t like how the maid and gardener had taken care of your property, your property would soon belong to your maid and gardener. The same is true of political parties.
When Cause #1 allowed democrats and independents to pick republican candidates, real conservatives got mad that the conservative principles and values of their party were being undermined from within their own party, their political home. So, they left that home in the hands of the people who were undermining those principles and values, taking independent status.
When conservatives got mad and left their party, they didn’t stop voting republican in general elections. They just took themselves out of any leadership in the party, and stopped funding the party, in both cases, leaving the party headed for the ash heap of history. Meanwhile, the democrat party becomes ever more powerful and tyrannical via global Marxist influence and funding from Nazi groups like Klaus Schwab’s WEF and the more than 200 Soros NGO’s.
Between these two primary causes, it’s the people themselves who have turned the once conservative republican party into today’s feckless RINO party or allowed it to happen.
The only way to reverse the fatal trend is to reverse these practices. There is no other way.
To turn the Republican Party back into a conservative party, leave independent status and rejoin the party. Not to go-along to get-along, but to flood the party with real conservative republican voters and take back control.
Fail to do so at your own demise…and everyone else’s.
