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
I quite agree with you. Disparate groups would be infiltrating, and a fledgling effort without the states involvement and a convention platform would be massacred in the same way as Trump, or anyone associated with his agenda for restoring America.
(Especially if it could be portrayed as a “white” effort.)
I just don’t know what a Trumpian Party would stand for, as I don’t particularly know yet what Trump stands for. I think he’s sort of a big government populist. I think there are a lot of issues (cough, abortion, cough) that he’s never given ten seconds though to so he defaults to the Republicans there, because it’s their party.
I think an entire Trumpian Party would be people arguing who is the One True Trump as he just goes with people he likes at any given time.
I don’t understand why no one understands this.
He’s going after Flake because he dislikes Flake on a personal level. Has Flake voted against anything that Trump needs a yes on? Seriously, where are the policy breaks here?
He’s endorsed Strange, because Strange has voted the right way and has never said anything to anger him.
There is never going to be a rhyme or reason to his endorsements aside from who has been “very nice” to him and who hasn’t.
I honestly don’t think he knows what the hell Luther Strange looks like.
If we did this, we would end up with about 10 seats in the Senate.....maybe.
How do we fix this crap? That's the problem, they keep curumventing the election process, and we have no recourse.
I say start with closing our primaries to just registered GOP....no more open primaries....that is why we get stuck with RINOs. I really wished that Jan Brewer would have used her time as Governor to get that primary changed to closed. Alas she did not do it.
I totally agree with you on the open primaries, however, how then to treat independants and libertarians? Many of those folks are totally on our side. Also if you see my last post, the gop claims that during the primary, the voters have no standing to pick the candidate. Are they being honest on the vote count? Who really knows, and, as far as I know, there are no laws on the books about primary elections.
The 2 party system makes that a bad idea. Better to purge liberal Republicans from the party or work to convert them to conservatism.
Great idea! We need two parties.
Better yet—Take over he GOP and purge the RINOs—force em into the Democrat/Commie Party.
If we’re going to purge liberals and GOPe then we had better get going. Trump needs a better organized effort if he hopes to clear his enemies out of Congress. And get the public involved, bigly!
Dem or GOPer and Flake has been one of THE biggest #NEVER TRUMPERS, for years! And he is a crazed nut job, who sees himself as MORE CONSERVATIVE than anyone else and some kind of wunderderkind.
He's pro-Muslims, all for open boarders, and whilst he claims to be all for tax cuts, because President Trump want s tax cuts, now Flake is against Trump's idea....and on and on, and on!
Flake is a junior member, in good standing, of the McQueeg and Linda Gramnesty clique.
And IF you don't "get this" ( which obviously you don't ), then the huge problem is yours and yours alone.
Re Strange...I don't know enough about that endorsement to make an educated reply to it. And I doubt that you do either.
Get a grip...Trump beat the system and so did we; this time around.
And that would lead to legislation how exactly?
