Even if you closed the primaries, there is nothing to stop someone who votes Democrat from registering as a Republican and voting in that "closed primary."
We have that as well. It's called, "If you vote in another party's primary, you cannot vote in the other party's elections for a full calendar year."
But you are avoiding the point. There is nothing now, nor anything being proposed, that would stop someone from registering as a Republican if we went to closed primaries.
And? I bet you voted for Rick Perry for Governor. Did you know that Perry happened to be Al Gore's campaign manager in Texas when Al was running for the Presidency around 1988/89? A lot of Democrats switch Parties because DemocRATS have a hard time getting elected except in turd world shithole South Texas and Austin and they become our current RINOS. We allow that as well. They move into our Party with their left of right thinking and begin changing things for the worse. THAT is what Conservatives have tolerated for years always voting not for the best but for the 'lesser of' candidate. Our Tarrant County Party appears to be filling up with a lot of 'walk away' Dems but no on ever questions what they walked away from and seat them at the table until they find their true ideology peaking out from the facade they put up. Once uncovered they sit back and do nothing about it. I have decided that most Republicans are spineless as jellyfish when it comes to standing on character and principle while thumping their Bibles like weapons. I have become very cynical about it all and am currently struggling to decide whether voting at all makes any difference whatsoever especially while still using electronic steal machines.
That was a very long post to not address the point.
Even with closed primaries, which I support, there would be nothing stopping someone from coming up and registering as a Republican and voting in that primary based on what is currently being proposed.
Personally if I cannot get a conservative candidate in the general to vote for, I will simply stop voting. I am tired of fighting this fight with fellow Repubs. They should just have the guts to vote out the pos incumbent RINOS and elect anyone else running in the Primary. It is doubtful if anyone would be stupid enough to vote DemocRAT in the General considering the level of corruption that their Party seems to thrive on and that our Party continues to ignore. I suspect also that many on our side are also complicit in similar criminal behavior if they are looked at closely.
Which is why it is important to close our Primaries and choose rock solid Conservatives that have been vetted to run against the RINOS. It is the DemocRATS who can be relied upon to vote for the RINO so they win in the General whichever side is chosen. If the Dem votes now in our Primary for the RINO and decides to vote in the General for his DemocRAT they are breaking election code because they , having voted in the Republican Primary have to vote in the General for a Republican candidate. It is a typical DemocRAT ruse that they repeat election after election to OUR side's detriment so closed Primaries won't necessarily stop RATS from crossing over but it will be a deterrent to the RATS who want to vote DemocRAT in the General. Ergo Closed Primaries would make it easier for us to choose a true conservative rather than the RINOS constantly foisted on us by the traitors of both sides walking among us.
Literally, that is not how it works now, nor would it ever work that way.
In closed Primaries, you would not be allowed to vote in another party's "primary." In fact, that is the way it is now. If someone votes in a Republican Primary, they cannot vote in a Democrat primary.
I learned that Curtis Sliwa previously was dumped on by Trump for reasons TBD, Curtis doesn't take shit and dumped right on back against djt from his radio show etc though I've never heard it and I've listened to recent interviews with him and he is the man for the job.
thus an eternal vengeance agenda against Curtis which we see as the zero Republican support for the only candidate that's Worthy and has proven himself
As long as we continue using electronic devices to cast ballots, be they for an election of a politician or the Party Chair during Convention, we will never get the real outcome. Just sayin'. Electronic voting is for sheeple dupes or for the criminally intentioned fraudsters stealing our elections over and over again. Nothing will change until we, as a whole body of voters, decide to change it. But I know it will never happen because most people are too damned complacent to care enough until it bites them personally. It says a lot about most folks true principles and characters. Our elections are a reflection on them. If this insulted you, it was meant to.
No censure for the Cookie Monster?
I hear the SREC went to his bake sale during recess.
This is why I only give directly to candidates I support.
RPT needs to get the primaries closed first. That action should help reduce the RINOs holding office.
Even if you closed the primaries, there is nothing to stop someone who votes Democrat from registering as a Republican and voting in that "closed primary."
Yes there is. You can have limits on how fast someone can join your party.
The Idaho GOP has a rule that if you were affiliated with an opposition party you can’t join the GOP for ~2 years. You have to wait.
The possibilities are numerous if they were interested in doing something

Yeah well duh cause there is only 1 primary a year?
Idaho has limited it to at least 2 years, not just from having voted in another parties primary but donated any money to the other party.

True but then they would have to vote Republican in November or get caught cheating.
You don’t vote via parties in a general
Election.
It is Republican vs RAT so yes you get to vote for Party .
Sara, in a general election you do not have to declare your party to get a ballot like you do in a Primary.
Therefore, closing primaries would have no effect at all on the general election. Especially those who choose to vote for the other party.

Yeah you r right. I was confusing the general with the Run-Off. I remember it was in a follow up election but forgot about the Run-Off.

Why even elect local representation when everyone...EVERYONE takes orders from the top. What a messed up party.
Unsurprising but pathetic

Boooo
I would love to hear Trump's reason for not wanting Texas to censure its fraudulent, corrupt Republicans. It might be good, but I don't see how.
