AOC is still the most popular on the nations purge list.
“He’s gonna need more paper”!!!
Getting really tired of this nonsense. The Hofts and GP are morons (at best) continuing to spread misinformation.
If another party became viable all they would have to do is just run under that party’s banner.
There will never be a clean and uncorrupted party - because people are involved.
Why all this talk of “primarying” and forming a new Patriot Party if people’s votes will just be flipped by the corrupt voting machines and software?
FIRST prove elections will be free and fair. Otherwise, it is not only a waste of people’s time, but a clever way to distract people from the elephant in the room.
“The Patriot Party is a new startup and unlike other failed startups, this will go far and someday turn into a behemoth.”
I agree.
“That’s because circumstances behind its formation is unlike anything before.”
I disagree. The widespread disgust with the GOP is like the attitudes toward the Whig Party in the 1850s. In response to the failures of the Whigs, the Republican Party was formed in 1854. In 1856 it finished second and thus replaced the Whigs as the alternative to the Democrats. In 1860 it won, and won most of the elections until the Great Depression.
As BigEdLB said, today is like 1856, but you pointed out one big difference: Today there is a leader who can spark the change. (Lincoln didn’t have that stature. He had served one term in the House, had lost a Senate election, and wasn’t even nominated in 1860 until the third ballot. We see him as the inevitable leader only with hindsight.)
There’s already 3 Parties - the GOP is 2 Parties consisting of a lot of RINOs and a handful of Republican Conservatives while the Dems are a mostly cohesive, although evil, unit.
I hope Marsha Blackburn is on that list, although I doubt he’ll mess with red state pols yet. Maybe later, once he’s got the most dangerous RINOs politically (not physically) annihilated.
There are 75 million Americans out there who can draft that list for him. I suspect he will have a list that is somewhat scaled down from mine
Interesting. No wonder Rob Portman of Ohio announced his “retirement” this morning!
If you can’t figure out that a third party is going to divide the vote and give the Dems a super majority then they will be able to do anything and everything they want, than God help you man! The tactics prior to Trump just don’t work but a third party is just crazy to the point stupidity. It is time for new tactics, but you have to be smart. The results from being stupid are just to obvious!
Here is the problem with purging the RINOs.
The new guy comes into office, and it isn’t long before he succumbs to towing the line to get committee appointments and GOP money to run the next time. In other words he becomes no different than the guy he replaced.
Do I need to make a list? Sasse, Lee, Rubio, Cotton, McCarthy and on and on
A third party guy gets no such inducements or party bribes. He remains a conservative or a Trumper because he sticks to his principles and does not yield to the political temptations.
A third party can create more gridlock which I am all for at this point. It may be the only victory we can get for a good while.
The real problem comes down not to political parties but to the principles of men. Very few politicians on our side are constitutional idealists. The citizen legislator is extinct.
John Adams said we have created a moral republic that requires moral men to endure. Where are the moral men to be found in either party?
