Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 3rd Party?

Have you ever been involved with a group that has tried to primary out a incumbent?
Let me tell you from first hand experience it is next to impossible. If the state party is behind them it is impossible.
The state party has the power to say what happens in a primary.
The incumbent has the money and backing to bury any challenger.
The incumbent has the name recognition. Low informed voters will always go for the incumbent.
The state party will not abandon a incumbent unless they have done something criminal or extremely wrong.
The party always says the election is to important or to close to gamble on a unknown.
I've been involved with trying to primary out a do nothing RINO congressman with a great Tea Party candidate for three election cycles. This district is solidly red. A democrat doesn't stand a chance but the party and money always shut us down. The only way to get that guy off the ticket is to use a sniper.
