The problem with trying to primary someone out is the party.

Let's take a look at Senator/Representative/Dogcatcher Whatshis face. He's the jerk that's been in office a while and has screwed up every free lunch put in front of him by asking for change.

The opposition party looks like they are going to have a candidate that is totally unsuitable so voting for this clown is out of the question. 

The ideal situation is to replace Whatshisface with a suitable, electable candidate. The way to go is primary Whatshisface out.

Of course, Whatshisface is a darling of the party because like a lot of elected officials he has sold his constituency out and done just what the nice party bosses want him to do. This guarantees him party support come next election. The party will throw a lot of money his way to insure re-election.

In short, expect to see yet ANOTHER election where we are forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.  

Trying to primary these jerks out of office is next to impossible and even if the people of the state uprose and did primary the jerk out then you can certainly bet your boots that the party will do everything possible to make damned good and well that the candidate We, the People put up lost. We saw that when GOPe supported Hillary in the last election.

We saw a lot of that with President Trump when virtually the entire establishment Republican party tried to block the wishes of the rank and file. We see it with our representatives and senators and it's damned hard to get rid of a party hack.

I do think that a lot of us ought to re register periodically. Before the primary we register R to get out licks in there and immediately after the primary we re register L (Libertarian) to let the party know they can kiss our butts.
