Leaving Republican Party, where to?

You do not leave.

The entire point is we are going to make them leave. This is the start of the uniparty purge.

[Meet the New Boss]

He has MORE than made up for it by running for president on a platform of

-building a wall

-keeping out radical muslims as much as constitutionally possible

-fixing our huge trade deficits with China and Mexico

-stopping this insane Neocon/Progressive policy of arming radical Islamists in Libya and Syria and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

-enforcing the Rule of Law against Ruling Class crooks like Hillary

Actions as opposed to words?
Ryan and the whole GOP can kiss my hairy ass.
Clintons are rapists and enablers.
Trump spoke poorly.
Big difference but the “elites” are trying to protect their gravy train.

[trebb]

Wait until the election. If Trump wins, the republican party will belong to him, and the never trumpers will have to make that choice.

Yep.

[\/\/ayne]

Perhaps this year will be the "cleansing of the RINOS" where the GOP finally says "No, you may not put an R after your name if you don't support our platform."

[Revelation 911]

I left after McCain - I went independent - then, after Romney - I registered DEM (here in NY) to screw with their primaries from now on. It has been a joy to tell the push pollers what I think of Louise Slaughter etc...

Sign up to be a precinct chairman
You can change the party.

[alamogal]

Don’t go wobbly! Make your voice heard to your reps and to the Republican hierarchy! Never give up.

[Sans-Culotte]

You can simply mark “get involved with politics and vote GOP” off your to-do list as it has ceased to be a useful function.

Where to, Where to

Lots of choices but most are irrelevant with regards to national politics.

I went through the responses carefully.

I feel it in my heart, after this election, with the betrayals of the ilk of Paul Ryan and this empowering of Hillary’s hatred of everyday Americans, we are going to see a mass exodus out of the Republican Party.

Actually, as I pray Trump wins, I can see this even if Trump wins. Those who supported the hopes and dreams of what Trump represents and which clearly is an anti-establishment wave of sentiment, we will never trust the Republican “leaders” again. Never – they wanted to empower the agenda of Hillary’s hatred for everyday Americans and we do not have another four more years to suffer such hatred.

I noticed one mentioned the AIP of California. Not bad.

Whatever that Party is, I am hoping it will be the folks such as we find on FreeRepublic and elsewhere who will be centric to either it’s creation or propagation. One place. One Party. Because, to me, the purpose, whatever Party that will be – I am hoping it will be a Nationalist party, but whatever party is decided as the One party – this will be a CLEAR STATEMENT of our feelings of this BETRAYAL from Ryan and the others.

Independent is absolutely not the answer for me.

I think it is entering the minds of many… We only need to make it start to happen as soon as the next day after the election. I am watching for it. Then I will join.

The two party beast is what we have and it’s going to be hard to slay it. The two parties
control DC and I can’t see an outside group becoming powerful enough with elected
representatives/senators to slay the current system. True changes can be made and are
needed but I don’t see the dems dissolving their party. Thus only another party with vote
getting potential on that order is the only chance to take control from them. The Reform
Party with Ross Perot got something like 18.9% nationally in 1992 and zero Electoral
College votes. The RP went downhill from there.

I agree change is needed but the two party system seems to be locked in under our current
methods/processes.

Take care and the topic would make for interesting discussions.

[JimRed]

There’s not another place to go. We have to fix what we have, by ridding ourselves of the corrupt and self-seeking.

[GOPJ]

I have long considered myself to be a Conservative and not a Republican. After this election I am finished with the GOP. Kill the Republican party! Force those RINOs to become DimocRATS! Start A new party for real Conservative Americans It's an idea and probably several others have thought over too

I'm voting straight Republican this time...I want Trump to have a Republican Congress to work with.

But if Hillary wins I will NOT be in the same party with #NeverTrumpers... either THEY can create a new party or WE can. I will never be in the same party with them again... I will never vote for one of them again - after this election.

[GOPJ]

I will NEVER be in a political party with elite trash like the Bushes, Romney's or Bill Kristol phonies...... They can be the GOP or WE can be the GOP, but not both of us.

I'll vote for them this time... Trump will need a Republican Congress... but after this election I'm out. As are the millions of us who backed Trump.. most of us are leaving.
