Disgruntled in Texas

Ben Smith, Politico

It's hard to know how seriously to take things like Rush Limbaugh's call on his listeners to vote for Hillary as the only hope for GOP victory in the fall; there's not much evidence that people ever cast tactical votes like that in meaningful numbers.
Still, an interesting report from a reader in Dallas: On the local conservative radio stations, many Republicans are calling and complaining about feeling “disenfranchised”. Apparently, they didn’t realize that by implementing Rush Limbaugh’s strategy of voting for Hillary in the Primaries to prolong the Democrats fist-fight, they would not be allowed to vote for any of the Republicans on the rest of the ballot.
