PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Longtime South Dakota Republican voter Jim Thompson is ready to leave the GOP, hoping that an exodus of Donald Trump supporters like him will punish the state’s preeminent politician, Sen. John Thune, for defying Trump.

If it was mostly Trump’s they would not have colluded with Democrats to cheat him out of office.
GOP voters overwhelmingly backed Trump. Most of the GOP members of Congress opposed the Electoral College vote which sealed the steal. Most GOP Senators are on record opposing the un-Constitutional impeachment farce. This party is already mostly Trump's, and that's incredible given how long the establishment GOP has been in power and how recently Trump became a force.
Walking away from the GOP now would be a big mistake, and that's why Trump isn't doing it. He's going to make this party his party. The Cheneys, the Bushes and the Lincoln Project types have betrayed Republican voters for decades - they're the ones who need to leave and go form their own third party.

I sent him $50 to defeat tiny Tom back in ‘04-money well spent. So did I and I live in Texas.

Here is Oregon we’ve had mail in voting for quite a few years and haven’t had any one but rats ever since.

“Odd irony is that he was elected to get rid of the Democrat snake Tom Daschle.”
The switcheroo act in the GOPe. It was like Ryan replacing Boehner. Daschle was an obvious snake but Thune tried to run on the coattails of the Tea Party..

“He’s going to make this party his party. “
Probably the most 50/50 split on FR: third party or run the GOP. Normally without Trump, I would have gone third party and understand the benefits and read multiple ppsts about 20 year GOP members frustrated that it can never change.
But I want DJT to be run the GOP and get back at those backstabbers. Start with the 10 congressmen who voted to impeach as an appetizer..Disclaimer: I’m not and never was a member of any political party.

I think it’s just so cute we still talk about our vote counting for anything - oh wait, did we fix that small problem while I was not looking?

The article is more of a hit piece on Trump and aims to divide the party into 2 separate ones. You're right. Glad you got in at the top of the thread...

I sent Moola to John Thune years ago to dump Tommy phone book Daschle. And it worked. But have gotten his lousy mailings ever since.
Boy, oh boy..... folks. Trump has helped reveal the ugliest, most anti-American factions in the Dem and GOP parties. I'm sick of the likes of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzlinger and other supposed GOP, fighting us right along with the Dems.
We cannot give in to this. We need our own leaders, along with DJT but they're far and few between.
Keep praying and working through the local elections.

Nice to have a sensible voice speak out over the “burn it all down” crowd. Thank you.
