Instead of creating a new party or running as an independent, Trump instead reformed the Republican party... And it worked... Not everybody in the Republican party supports Trump, but they voted for him because he was the obvious choice. If Trump had created a new party or ran as an independent... Kamala would now be the new President.
Creating a ‘new’ party merely splits the vote and allows the Labour party to maintain power.
“If Trump had created a new party or ran as an independent... Kamala would now be the new President.”
Not just that, Skunk Cabbage would have been president in 2017. The sad thing is how many here couldn’t seem to figure out something that simple.
In a parliamentary system creating a new party can make sense but not always. I think in the UK the vote was so split across 9 party and independent groupings all an MP candidate had to do was win a plurality in the borough. That created a situation where a significant majority of voters voted against what ended up being the ruling majority. The Labor Parliament majority is deceptive in terms of actual voter support.
Trump understood that and did a hostile takeover of the GOP.
Maybe you could explain to me the fate of the Whigs and Torie. The GOPe has better straighten up and actually DO WHAT THE PROMISED or they can crater and many on this forum wouldn't be sad to see the useless tools go.
