Coming in September . . .
For your consideration
Common Sense Party!!! Who doesn’t want to have Common Sense!!
PRWP
Post Republican Whig Party
aka GGOP (Great Grand Old Party)
Finish the takeover of pub party. We have the head.
I remember when the likes of John McCain condemned the Tea Party.
I hope you bring this up in your August 5 WH meeting!
My father-in-law and I called our new party : Society Heeding In Time.
Interesting, Dan Bongino was talking about this yesterday—that in the past he did not support Third Party, but given the fact that GOP is acting more and more like Dems or a Uniparty-esp. with healthcare bill.
Seems that the downside risk of going third party is diminishing. We are all tired of being sold out :(
He did not go into the detail you did. He did, however, mention that David Horowitz is also in favor of third party.
I think you have some good ideas.
It had better happen soon - please!
I am NOT casting another vote for a Repulsican again, and I most certainly loathe anyone who casts one for a dim bulb crat.
Please, please give me a party composed of intelligent, honest, and talented folks.
And, I have my bottle of urine ready to dedicate McDork’s grave as one worthy of being a community septic tank.
Good ideas LS.
Trump could recruit top business people to run office rather than professional glad handers ... beginning the process of really breaking the back of the Deep State.
Maybe “Americans First” shortened over time to ‘Americans”...
I’m more inclined to think we’d see a break-off faction from the dem tent. The blacks could take their toys and form their own party, maybe use their numbers by selling them to whoever needs their vote. No matter what happens, too many in the dem tent don’t like each other.
Remember all the cr** they pulled about him starting a third party?
I just posted a reply (short one) about the need for a MAGA party based on Free Markets instead of Crony Capitalism which is addicted to the Deep State from DC to the city level to stay in business.
MAGA Party
Trump in 2020 of course.
Jim Jordan in 2024.
It has never worked in this country. Sorry. We’re stuck with stupid.
Two more things:
Very early in the presidential campaign, I wrote a FReeper editoral (here) listing the various kinds of people who could be cannabalized from the Republican and Democrat parties to form a Sensible Party that might be able to outvote the two remaining Silly Parties.
One problem that will show up again, with respect to some sort of "MAGA" brand, is that it will be usurped by all sorts of pretenders. E.g., the Tea Party movement in Colorado was pretty-much ruined by this. It became a regular pattern that the real Tea Party candidate was the opponent of whichever candidate the media proclaimed as the "Tea Party" candidate. Sometimes this was because media people (like a reporter at a local TV station whom I talked to about this) were simply ignorant of Republican Party internals and were easily fooled.
No matter what the name or composition of the new party, or how successful it is at electing candidates, they face the same Washington milieu. They get to DC and learn that they will be wealthy for the rest of their lives if they toe the Soros/Chamber of Commerce line and that unlimited funds will be used to defeat them in their next primary if they do not. Almost all will become within hours indistinguishable from Republicans. Without single term term limits for all elected offices no reshuffling of parties can be effective.
A problem that may arise is that the R Party is a private organization with its own rules and governance of candidates and members.
Do you think that the Party could disapprove of special designations on a Republican ticket, or could see a “MAGA” designation as outside of the traditional Republican Party design and even in opposition to the Party tradition?
For example, I can envision a John McCain, or a Ben Sasse howling an objection.
