Since the Republicrats have made it impossible to get a viable third party canidate on the ballot due to restricitve ballot rules, could we use their own rules against them?
For example, could a Libertarian canidate simply register as a Republican and then be able to run in the Republican primaries? This canidate could openly declare their intent to change their party affiliation to Libertarian upon election. Thus, this canidate would have all the benefits of running as a Republican but third party voters (and like-minded Republicans) would be able to vote for him/her and get them onto the ballot for the general election.
Yes, the Republican elite would be upset but other than foul words what could they do? This might be a way to get a Libertarian on the ballot.
