Mesa County Republicans abandon party; begin the Deplorables
KJCT 8 ^ | Updated: Wed 10:35 PM, Oct 12, 2016 | Kalie Greenberg

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.(KJCT) It’s a campaign that's dividing a nation, but now it may be dividing a local party.

“It’s worse than that they’re useless. They’re actually trying to sabotage Donald Trump from getting elected,” said Matt Patterson who’s pioneering the Mesa County Deplorables.

Patterson, a former employee for the Republican Party, says the Mesa County Deplorables is a volunteer group with one goal.

"Make sure Donald Trump get as many votes as he can here in Western Colorado,” said Patterson.

Here is an incomplete fragment of information I found on this group at an article at One News Page:

"the rnc and the mesa county gop, they shut down the one event that we were planning that everyone was excited about. a group of volunteers and i, we formed our own group. it's called 'the mesa county deplorables', and we're just a group of volunteers who are going to rally in support of donald trump." "we were informed of this event earlier in the week. it is not an event that has any connection with the trump for colorado campaign, the mesa county republican party, or the colorado gop. this is an independent group that wants to show their support for donald trump." "the republican party is divided and so it mirrors that to some degree. just people feel that their party isn't getting the message out they want."" now.. according to all groups... they just want this rally to remain peaceful... live in the [...]

I hope that if he wins, which I still believe he will, that afterward we can look into why it took a billion dollars to be able to speak from the heart and put America first. If he doesn’t, we’ll have more pressing concerns.

DEFINITION
deplorable: is very bad, disgusting and wretched.

This word is being used to highlight evil said about us, but if there is a third party, the name should be victorious. Life and death are in the tongue.

I would rather be a pimple on Trump’s rump—DEPLORABLE— Than one of the Beguiled doing Hillary’s biddin. Trump’s Locker room talk is an offense how true—but Hillary’s actions are worse than crap on your shoe.

The name of the new party should be “The America Party”.

It’s simple. When asked about your political affiliation, you simply, and proudly, state “I’m an American!”.

The new party name can be a combination. We were called Deplorables, we are ending the UniParty, and we are Able.

Hence we are the DepEndAbles.

"If these Rinos give the election to Hillary this 22 years Catholic republican will be independent before the inaugural."

What will you do next?

It’s not only about Donald Trump. Around half the country (maybe more) believes what he believes. WHETHER WE CALL OURSELVES THAT OR NOT, we ARE a bloc. There are way more of us than there are of pansy Pub supporters. What the hell can these traitors do to get elected?

Do you really think there'll be time to build a movement? That time was 10 years ago. If Klinton somehow manages to steal/slime her way into the WH, the 2nd Amendment will be gone within the year.

We'd all better start thinking about the worst-case scenario and what we'll do, because if she gets into office, it'll be at hand.

And yes, pray. Pray like your freedom depends on it, because it does.

It will be a lot easier to take over the Republican Party than to start a new one. In many areas, the Republican organization is a mere skeleton, with enormous organizational holes.* You could easily become a Precinct Chairman or take some other position.

Actually, this process is well under way. A lot of frustrated Tea Partiers are becoming active in the Republican Party, and the old Rockefeller Republicans are quitting, dying off, or being replaced.

But it means a commitment of time and effort. Those who are serious about change will get busy.

I'm going to drive by this noon and see if I recognize any of them—partly to see if there are legitimate people I know and partly to see if there are others I know who have been involved in parody groups created to embarrass us. In-your-face demonstrations at the front door of the opponent's headquarters is a tactic I have not seen here before. Sign-waving from the sidewalks near major intersections or City Hall, or speeches from the front of the Old County Courthouse are the norm.

I would rather the “America First Party”, a term coined by it’s leader, DONALD J. Trump.
