… Those on the outside of both parties realize a third party is prohibitive (time, cost, organization and party infrastructure). There appears to have been an adoption of what I like to refer to as the NSDAP’s Post-Beer Hall Putsch Strategy. Historians refer to this as the NSDAP’s “Legality Strategy”.
If one simply, slowly over time (the DSA has been at this since 1982) “acquires” (boiling the party frog so to speak) the total party apparatus one avoids all of the prohibitive conditions. In addition one has the advantage of using the current party’s, shall we say for lack of a better term, “reputation” (publicly understood and accepted face) as cover for their slow “replacement” of those already inside the party.
It is a brilliant combination of Replacement Theory with Legality Strategy. – Remember you heard it here first on GDS. 
I’m sure someone has realized and thought of this already.
I think this book covered the process quite well regarding usurpation and power.
