vanity: 'Splody Head for eGOP: Trump Runs As Libertarian
8/13/18 | Mr. K the KnowItAll

Posted on 08/13/2018 10:17:59 AM PDT by Mr. K

Trump is going to win in a landslide... So he should announce he is running on the Libertarian Ticket in 2020.

Get all his supporters to switch to Libertarian the next day.

Relegate the eGOP to third-party status overnight.

They are just a bunch of feckless wiener-heads anyway, and part of the swamp-dweller class.

I don’t think Trump would be at home with much of what the Libertarian party stands for.

He has 90% approval with Republicans. He’s already taken over the party.

Then the GOPe will immediately side with the rats and begin impeachment proceedings.

Exactly. If GOP base is solidly behind him, there’d be zero upside in running 3rd party.

I’ve seen Trump, from day one, as an independent running as a Republican only because the only chance he had at winning would be as a member of one of the two parties. And as an independent myself, I’ve never seen him as a Republican. He’s a RINO - but in the GOOD way. :)

But I don’t know if he would increase his odds if he became a libertarian, though I’d love to see it happen.

It would be interesting to see him “create” a new party and call it the “Constitution” party.

You’d hand the Dems the election. NO.

Better fit would be the Veterans Party of America.

They fit more of the mold that Trump and his team want to see. The Dems and GOP-e should politically die a nasty death.

the libertarians’ minds are too clogged with bong resin to understand the instructions.

There already is a Constitution party, and they are not very Constitutional. They take an absolutist hardline social and fiscal conservative stance even if it is antithetical to the Constitution.

Stop the day drinking. It’s bad for your health and it results in ridiculous vanities like this.

Libertarian? Jeez!

The GOP is the party of Lincoln, the party of Reagan, the party of Eisenhower and Coolidge.

The Libertarian Party is the party of an unbroken line of third-party whining losers, whose only purpose in life is to aid in the election of Democrats.

I don’t think it is time to jump onto that sinking rowboat.

The Libertarian Party is a joke and utterly uninterested in participating in the culture war for the soul of this country, and in fact is more an enemy in that fight than an ally.

No one who is interested in the perservation of the United States as a nation should have anything to do with that outfit.

(The libertarian ideology is a different matter).

Back in the day, this was called “reverse psychology.” The enemy using reverse psychology promoting an agenda doomed to fail. The idea is to destroy the opponents morale and create confusion and division, straight out of the rules in Cultural Marxism to destroy our U.S. Constitution and American Capitalism.

Forming a NEW party called The Constituion party was proposed- ALSO a good idea.

Anything to get away from the eGOP and swamp dwellers.

I don’t think the D *OR* the R would have many members left if Trump did this - because both of the two major parties are part of the corruptocracy.

I think he would attract a good portion of both parties.
