He has the wealth to do it, the base to do it and he is POTUS.....stars are aligned perfectly...a very rare opportunity...
He should give members of Congress the chance to switch to his party..if they don't then back Republicans in their district in the primary that would promise do so if they win in the general election.. DO NOT run 3rd party candidates in the 2018 general election since that may allow a liberal to sneak in if the Republican/Conservative vote is split
Target very red areas first that he did well in 2016.....get the fondation laid...get a least a few members of his party in Congress then build from there......
Rome wasn't built in a day
Bad idea.
I’ve been saying this for weeks.
The idea of Trump being the chief fund-raiser for all these Globalist RINO weasels drives me nuts!
NOPE.
I’m all for it. But it won’t be a third party. We now have only one.
America First Party
Patriot Party
Constitution Party
I can see it happening.
Needs to be done yesterday.
NO.
kick the RINOS out of GOP...3RD parties don’t succeed
He has conservative values in general, but not in what I would call a bedrock way.
Our shared values surround our love for America and the desire to put her first.
I think there is a lot more divergence than meets the eye on how we accomplish that.
No need for a third party, just make sure the Republican party stays focused.
No Rinos Allowed-— NRA party sounds good.
I heartily suggest that instead of post your uneducated, pathetic opinion, that you go do extensive research on minor political parties, in ALL eras of American history.
Many years ago I read Upton Sinclair’s book, “I Candidate for Governor, and How I Lost”. He ran for the governor of California as a Democrat though he was a socialist.
Sinclair made the point that to win an election one needed to belong to a party with grandfathers, so he ran as a Democrat.
His point still holds true.
BTW, the book was very witty and entertaining.
Correction: The title of the Sinclair book was “I, Candidate for Governor and How I Got Licked”
“I heartily suggest that instead of post your uneducated, pathetic opinion, that you go do extensive research on minor political parties, in ALL eras of American history.”
I heartily suggest you take your profanity to D.U. where it belongs and instead enlighten all of us as to when else in our country’s history a president with overwhelming popular support has started a third party while still in the White House.
Third parties are the trapdoor to political irrelevance. We need to make the GOP a conservative party and give the RINOs and vote-panderers the boot.
No. We need a second party, not a third.
Destroy GOP Inc and move on from there.
I said the day Trump was sworn in that he had six months (at most) to decide whether or not to dispose of the dying remnants of the Republican party and run Trumpist candidates in 2018.
Time’s up.
Ain’t gonna happen. Trump mounted a campaign for president in 2000 as a Reform Party candidate, then dropped out quickly because he recognized the futility of a third-party campaign.
I like your idea.
I am pretty sure that many on this forum will complain that it will split the vote. However, we have top level R’s telling us that we don’t pick the candidate, the republican party does. This is a HUGE problem. There is no way we should have open primaries, and who knows what other shenanigans they are up to in these primaries. Enough!
