If Trump were to create a new party, would you join?
I keep hearing how bad it would be and how it would 'split the vote' and hand the victory to the Democrats.
I disagree, because I think a majority of people would go with Trump.
There is currently about 25% of the country registered as GOP. That's about 80 million people.
If Trump formed a new party I would think nearly everyone who voted for him (over 70 million) would join. Plus some disillusioned Democrats AND some independents.
That would make the new party bigger than the old GOP. Their funding would dry up overnight.
The current GOP is not just office holders- there are huge bureaucracies of party officials. If NY GOP is any example, they seem to think they have permanent sinecures and the party funds are for them to host social gatherings.
The Republicans have been intentionally importing a permanent Democrat majority for 30 years.
GOP - RIP
Yup.
Collective bargaining shouldn't be allowed. Not a bad idea
Only if Jared and Ivanka were banned from it.
Definitely. The GOP cannot be reformed. Too many grifters.
A third party only helps the left that mastered the ability to win every election from now on. Who or what is going to stop them? I know we say we have 75+ million trump supporters but I don't think there will be enough to bridge the gap of cheating and unpredictable demographics.
Maybe. I now have a Democrat state senator because a Libertarian garnered enough votes away from the Republican to give the election to the Democrat. I won’t join a spoiler party.
I WILL NEVER vote R again AND if Trump decides to stay with this backstabbing party I will not support him either!! I am DONE!! I will not put Trump back into office under R just to have him betrayed again NO WAY!!
I don’t really get the reason for the question but given the choices - Trump. But I would continue to vote without a party affiliation.
In a heartbeat.Nobody can change the gop, nobody.
That never worked before, why would it now?This is where the devil we dont know if far superior to the devil we all have known for years.
I would take that bet.
Damn straight,its just the demorat party light anyway so no big loss.
I live in MA. Who I vote for doesn’t matter. The ONLY election that matters here is Selectman.
I stand with President Donald John Trump.
IN a heartbeat.
NO. It will be the first group that the leftist tyrants will round up.
I want no part of any political party. They are all corrupt and self serving.
Last week I had to get new State Drivers License, as we have relocated...and I registered as NEITHER POLITICAL PARTY, AS AN INDEPENDENT..
Tomorrow Hubby goes for his new driving License, and he will also register as an INDEPENDENT and VETERAN...
And we are DJT SUPPORTERS and we will gladly go to a new Political Party...I'm actually ashamed to say I'm a Republican...
Kevin McCarthy is a terrible leader of the House...and he needs voted out of the Leadership job and his State's House Rep.
We are ready for DJT to get Rally's going again...for four years
WE ARE READY TO ROAR LIKE LIONS...LET'S ROLL.
Also, the Republicans rose at the very time that the Whig Party was dissolving, so the new Republican party was able to get a lot of support from former Whigs.
