Should Trump create The Patriot Party or reform the GOP?
The Conservative Brief ^ | 1/20/21 | Martin Walsh

Posted on 01/21/2021 9:20:20 AM PST by NewRightNetwork

This is a serious question. There are pros and cons of reforming the GOP and creating The Patriot Party. Is starting a new party better or purging the GOP of corruption and self-interests.

I don’t know but there is going to have to be election fraud reform before he can do anything.

IF there were 2 parties, the occupying regime would have been stopped.

Too many rotten apples in the barrel. Chuck the barrel out!

It would be far easier to primary the 80-90% of the useless GOP than to elect third party candidates.

Wouldn't it be fun to watch Bitch McConnell as his empire was reduced to ashes.

Could we be the Patriot Caucus of the Republican Party?

First find out how many of our kind of Republicans...Madison Cawthorn, Vernon Jones, etc... would be changing over. If Lindsey Graham said he would, then it’s no use to even try.

Everytime the GOP has been “taken over” like Reagan 1980, Newt 1994, Trump 2016 etc. etc. etc. it never really was taken over.
The Establishment is still there and they always slither back into power.

Same with the Dems or any established party.
How do you think Biden(who was dead for all intents and purposes before the NC primaries), got to win the Dem nomination when Bernie had won everything before the NC primaries? The Dem establishment put the Kkbush on the far left Bernie Sanders.

The GOP is just an organization. Kick the people out, but leave the Party infrastructure intact.

It will take too much time to start up a new party.

Yes. Rebranding would have a much greater chance of success.

Trump doesn’t have the ability to kick people out of the GOP and they are not going to leave. They believe the GOP is their club and we have to kneel to their demands to be members. Reforming this bloated, corrupt leftist entity is not going to happen, I have heard this since 1990.

There’s been an effort to “reform” the DNC from grassroots over the past few elections. The “Justice Democrats” a Soros funded group have been running candidates successfully in certain areas to further their communist message. You’d know them as the squad.

Possible that we could use the GOP in the same way but that’s a much longer term issue

A third party will divide the voters further.

Forming a grassroots precinct organization will undermine the current top-down orientation that is the only way the Uniparty can rule us. Undermining the Uniparty with a grassroots organization would also have that added perk of allowing us to see the fear in the eyes of the Uniparty candidates on primary election night

While I’d love to see a new conservatively-minded party, my expectation is that you’d see a majority of politicians coalesce into a centroid (RINO) party to occupy the entire middle of the ideological spectrum. The would serve to isolate the radical left as Democrats and leave our patriots looking like right-wing radicals by comparison... and the electorate would naturally gravitate to the middle ground.

In theory, that would be better than the status quo, but the middle grounders would still tend to lean left, and that’s not good.

So I guess I’m in favor of trying to throw every wishy-washy RINO-esque critter out of the Republican party and take it over... reforming a true conservative party. That would have to happen at the level of local and state GOP boards, and it would take some time to accomplish.

Mr. Trump will have a bigger impact on politics and popular thinking if he would step out of the ring for about two years. Meanwhile, I hope he either gets his Twitter account back or that Parler becomes much more fireproof than it is now.

It would be wise for Trump to give the public and the media time to stop compulsively reacting to him and to begin reacting to Joe Biden with all his Motley Crew.

Its called coattails from Trump. If they were so popular where was this massive win in 2018?

If anything... it might be more effective to commandeer the DNC.

Create a new party that stages candidates only in races where the Dems have no chance, i.e. in very red districts. The new party will often win in these districts. This would establish a base from which the new party gains credibility and can stage candidates in an increasing number of elections.

The Republican Party is the party of Lincoln and the Grand Old Party. It has been soured by the RINOs.

Run the RINOs out of our party and do it now, by whatever means necessary.

You all are just like Charlie Brown and the football, the party loyalist are out in force spreading the same reform and primary out the leftist when they are hear on behalf of the leftist carrying their water. What you are proposing is the epitome of the definition of insanity.

Introduce a new 75,000,000 strong Patriot voting block to the R party; control its rehabilitation and resurgence.

Someone has already co-opted the name. Trump will have to announce it himself for anyone to believe it. My suggestion is the 1776 Party.
