We just need to turn out in the primaries BIG.


Like we did for Marco Rubio? Joni Ernst? Ben Sasse? The GOP campaigns as conservative and governs as progressive statists. Nothing the base voters do will ever change that.

Just Senator James Buckley, who was in office from 1971 to 1977; replaced by Moynihan; preceded by Goodell

No difference between Bush and Clinton, anyway.

Just two sides of the same coin.

third party fetishists are infantile;


What’s “infantile” is you thinking Mitt Romney and the rest of the progressive corportist GOPers care one bit about your family. Never Trumpism has proven they prefer progressive Democrats to the GOP base. Don’t ever forget that.

Didn’t the election of diseased-riddled, corrupt, and decadent Bill Clinton teach your third-partiers anything?


Didn’t the immediate past GOP nom for POTUS, Mitt Romney, defacto voting for Hillary Criminal and her constitution destroying SCOTUS teach you anything? He literally could not care if you and yours were laying dead in the street of a sanctuary city. Do carry on support progressives in the GOP if you wish. It will get you exactly nothing.

I wouldn’t want a one-person type of party
but
certainly the GOP-e is mostly a Quisling outfit that collaborates and enables the extreme far left commie/nazi DNC
puppets

and needs to be retired, terminated, asap.

The vast majority of the GOP base should then simply start taking charge of the GOP again. (Just like the vast majority of D voters should kick the commie/nazis out of control and take charge again of the D party machine.)

the top levels are so damned corrupted, in both party machines, as to endanger our system of representative governance

the swamps must be drained of their damned alligators!

New party???? That’s exactly what the Rats want!


The Mueller Coup is “exactly what the Rats want.” And they got it. Thanks to the GOP. Are your comfortable Mueller’s police state tactics? The GOP is. Are you comfortable with Big Tech deplatforming conservatives? The GOP is. Etc...

We don’t need a new party. We need new lobbyists. Start forming MAGA PACs.

I’ve been saying for a long time that we need a new Trump party!

Ditto, that. Many of us are already members of it - it just doesn’t have a name yet.

I’m long out. The Republican Party is deplorable and irredeemable. Burn it down.

In hindsight, Perot was before his time. I’m glad I voted for him.

Bush would have lost with or without Perot.

Look at nearly all of the young people around us. Do they appear inclined to vote conservative? Several of the early foreign communist leaders wanted to destroy the monogamous family for their reasons. Three generations of women choosing bad boys, and see what it brought us.

A third party is not the answer. General collapse is the answer.

First off, primaries have only a 5% chance of success and second, if the GOP resistance continues, Trump will be the last Republican president. So the folks clamoring for Republican Party reform aren’t politically saavy.

It staggeringly stupid to not support him in the short term.

Would be better for some “republicans” to just make it official and become Dems

Sure, uh huh, how did that work in the last election cycle? Like, the Rats picked up enough seats in Congress to flip it to their side, and that happened mostly of the the illegal practice of ballot harvesting in the People's Republic of California.

Sorry, as much as I'd love to see it happen, the USA is a turd going down the toilet of history, destined to become Venezuela Part 2.

The Gop is a failure.

***************

The GOP is what it is. The culture and DNA of the GOP is never going to change. It is a soulless party devoid of principles or convictions. It is literally defined by weakness and appeasement. It fails us cycle after cycle, yet we keep voting for them. Something has to change.

I agree. He was Reagan’s biggest mistake.
