"Overall, 37% of voters said if Trump starts a new political party, they’d be likely to join."
That's immediately larger than the GOP, and because they would pull 64% of pubbies, it would be at least double the size. GOP would immediately be a small minority party. IT would be the 3rd party, not Trump's party.
And if Trump announced, it would pull even more from momentum.
[To the fearful, read the article and watch Liz Cheney there at the link. The GOP HATES you. "No! It will never work!" the cowards say. "It's too hard! Besides, Ross Perot!" they will say. Well, Trump ain't Ross Perot, if you haven't noticed. He won't self implode like Perot did. ]
I'm in, 100%. The GOP is dead to me. I've already changed my registration. Just waiting for our Leader to give the word.
GOP needs to die on the vine.
What about qualifications for elections with a new party? Then there are the local officials which will be against a 3rd party. I see an up hill battle vs taking over the Republican Party.
They won’t give up yet, this will take more than one election cycle. A couple more beatings and they might come around.
Trump already said he is not forming a third parties.
I’ve discussed the insurmountable patronage/spoils reasons that no third party in America has ever succeeded. Indeed, their track record is they lose HALF their voters in a four year period. (Populists, Reform). The exceptions are those unserious parties like the Socialists and Libertarians.
Structurally a third party cannot sustain itself over the 20 years it takes to build up the patronage rewards system. Even Perot’s reform party didn’t elect ONE SINGLE HOUSE OR SENATE MEMBER. This is not sexy stuff, but unfortunately it’s akin to insisting you’re gonna run an internal combustion engine on water. Sundance is wrong on this. We must take over the GOP.
Then elect new top to bottom leadership. But that’s not going to happen. Move to plan “B”.
Good to know. But LOL, I’m not or never was a member of the GOP. and F no, not the Dummycraps either. Like our fellow Freepers said, the one good reason is to primary RINOS when needed..
Idiocy.
So sick of these anti-Trump liars.
If Trump think it most profitable to take over the GOP then so do I.
These idiots hate Trump, or think they’re smarter than Trump. All who agree are welcome to join these losers.
USEFUL IDIOTS are still looking to establish a LOSERTARIAN2 Party to help the DemocRATS.
I’ll wait for whatever DJT decides to do... In fact, I’m wagering on his decisions whatever they are with a continuing monthly contribution...
If he decides to take over and FLUSH the GOP, fine...
I’ll volunteer to do some of the flushing...
But there’s that sticky little issue of the Dominion voting machines.
What a worm of a person she is. And I agree the Republican Party is DOA as far as I am concerned.
Sign me up for the Burn It All Down and Start Over party.
It’s a question of timing.
explain to me why the left was able to take over the Dem party but we can’t take over the R party
What can possibly happen now that CONgress is in democrat control, Dominion has TWO YEARS to perfect its cheating, and the absolute WAR the left has declared on us? We had a chance to win, and a certain "stable genius" BLEW it. (unless of course, we are still trusting the plan) IF DONALD TRUMP is supposed to be the guy to do this, chances are, he'll staff his operation with MORONS and start TOO LATE. Just like he FAILED to secure his re-election the first time, starting THE FIRST day of his presidency.
On top of that, he will be hounded until he dies a premature death by these scumbags with legal battle after legal battle.
He couldn't defeat the democrat party. He's supposed to defeat TWO parties now?
we should be preparing. Preparing for Post America. Prepare for the lights to go out forever. Prepare for the final virus. and prepare to take as many leftists with you as some consolation.
You must be smarter than Trump. If he says OK, I’m in. If he doesn’t I will continue to lobby against the third party idea here on FR. And my reading of Trump, our leader fir sure, is that he is thumbs down on a third party.
37% of the voters doesn’t sound like a winner to me. It sounds like a split conservative vote. A gift to the Dems.
I would join.
Let the uniparty finally coalesce into the democrat socialist globalists glob that they are.
