Trump jumps into a divisive battle over the Republican Party — with a threat to start a ‘MAGA Party’

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former president Donald Trump threw himself back into politics this weekend by publicly endorsing a devoted and divisive acolyte in Arizona who has embraced his false election conspiracy theories and entertained the creation of a new “MAGA Party.”

In a recorded phone call, he offered his “complete and total endorsement” for another term for Arizona state party chairwoman Kelli Ward, a lightning rod who has sparred with the state’s Republican governor, been condemned by the business community and overseen a recent flight in party registrations. She narrowly won reelection, by a margin of 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent, marking Trump’s first victory in a promised battle to maintain political relevance and influence after losing the 2020 election.

In recent weeks, Trump has entertained the idea of creating a third party, called the Patriot Party, and instructed his aides to prepare election challenges to lawmakers who crossed him in the final weeks in office, including Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.), according to people familiar with the plans.

Start the MAGA/Patriot party within the Republican party and push out all the Rinos and fake republicans

That would be how this could work.

Washington #ComPost is always on the wrong side of everything they write about. They never get anything right in an article and they HATE Freedom Lovers.

They can pound sand.

It’s easy to say and difficult to do.
It would be easy to get more votes than a Republican, but that really just means Democrat plurality wins until the Republican party is diminished to the level of the Libertarian Party, which could take a few decades.

Been there, done that, tried it for four years as POTUS -the most powerful member of the GOP.

Didn't work. Since only stupid and insane people keep trying the same things that don't work, it's time for plan B.

There is no point in reading an article published by the fake-news Washington Post.

WaPo editor confronted by young staffer after a case of the shakes, sweating, incoherent ranting and fainting spell.

“I, I think I’m getting a recurring case.”
“You mean the....?”
“Yes. Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

They're just desperate to keep the two party Kabuki theater alive lest the sheeple wake up to what's really going on.

When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821

He was never a good fit for the GOP. But starting another party will just ensure that the Dems win.
