    People can vote for the candidates they like locally even if they don’t like the top of the ticket. I didn’t say anything about down ballot elections.

    And you still don’t have any answer for my question.

      No… THAT is my answer. You asked what would prevent the Dems from sliding right and that was my answer. It’s the same thing that caused the Republicans to slide right.

      You have the example in the Tea party movement to see how it effectively changes the party when down ballot voting shifts.

      That’s how it’s done. There’s recent proof of it.

      PS: You didn’t answer MY question.
