Liz Cheney : are you listening? Here's how you beat them. [View all]


You will lose your primary, make no mistake about that.

Nothing will change that. You know it, everyone knows it.

The question isn't how to change that.

The question is : WHAT THEN?

And the answer to that is stunningly simple: run as an independent (and as a write-in candidate if you have to).

Make it clear to Trump & Co that you will -- at the very least -- split the vote and deny them their prize.

Moreover, you might even find that there is enough crossover support for you to pull a Murkowski and actually *win* as an independent.

If I were you, though, I'd already be laying plans to do this.

So : are you?

If not, start now.
