WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IF SARAH PALI N AND MARK LEVIN RECOMMENDED THAT THE CONSERVATIVES STAY HOME OR VOTE THIRD PARTY IN THE 2016 ELECTION?? If Palin and Levin Walk, the 2016 Nomination Is Not Worth Having!!!! EXCERPTS: How real is the threat of Palin or Levin – or, more likely, both, under the circumstances – decamping one way or the other? Very real, if the amnesty situation deteriorates while there is such a Romney was the last – never again feeling among conservatives, who are seething at what they see as the betrayal of the mandate of 2014. Neither Palin nor Levin has been shy in expressing her or his feelings on the matter. Levin (December 15): I am one inch away from leaving the GOP and, in the nub of the matter, asking Republicans if they think this is a joke, if they think they can just lie to Republicans and conservatives with impunity about defunding Obamacare and fighting Obama’s illegal amnesty. Palin (on illegal aliens, June 16, 2014): [T]his one issue is driving me to renounce my Republican ties. Furthermore, Palin threatens to leave the Republican Party over amnesty. Palin has mentioned a third party on a number of occasions. Here is the respected pollster Pat Caddell: The alienation among Republican voters is so high, that a quarter to one-third of the Republican party are hanging by a thread from bolting. Caddell was asked, “[D]oes the math show you that there could be an uprising and could the GOP go the way of the Whig Party? The GOP leadership, the lawyers, the lobbyists, the consultant class of the Republican party, and all the big donors don’t understand that these people are angry. … They are saying that John Boehner doesn’t care about them, and all he cares about is the special interests. I’ve never seen anything like this in the base of a party. And that is why the analogy to the Whigs is not so far-fetched. The Establishment can take up the lefts mantra that Palin is irrelevant – or, as Robert Costa advised, Palin is diminished – but her 91% endorsement success in the 2012 midterms belies such nonsense. Palins endorsement is the prize desperately sought after and the key to success for the likes of Cruz, Fischer, Haley, and many others. If she asked her millions of followers to follow her out of the GOP, or indicated to them that they would be better off fishing on election day, the effect on the presidential campaign would be massive. If Levins huge listener audience (And who knows? Limbaugh might join in.) were also advised of either path, then it would be foolish to imagine that the few states that the GOP desperately needs to have any chance of victory – and the loss of just one would end their hopes – would not be put out of reach. The ball is in the Establishments court – not Palins or Levins. If the Establishment chooses to betray the voters who gave them control of Congress, and chooses to support Obamas amnesty agenda and other liberal policies, then when, not if, the rupture comes, it will be the Establishments doing.
