Just saw Sarah Palin on Hannity. When asked about Donald Trump possibly running as a Third Party Candidate, Sarah said that a year ago she would have resisted such an idea. But, the GOP has failed to do what the American people elected them to do (Repeal Obamacare, no budget passed, etc.) and if they "don't get their stuff together" there is going to be a Third Party rise up because the GOP has failed to do the job and give the people of America a sound message of their plan for America because they are so afraid of offending somebody.
When Sean Hannity asked if she would consider a Third Party run, she said she does not see that happening "right now". She said she hopes the GOP gets their act together.
You’re wrong about Romney getting 29%. He has never been able to get much more than 20%. He might get 21 or 22% at the most. Sarah would get in the thirty to forty range and we would officially have the death of the Republican Party.
I would suggest that the GOP elites pay attention or they could very soon be out of existence.
I don’t care who’s running...I’m NOT voting third party. PERIOD!!
“Maybe the TEA Party can take over the GOP similarly to how the commies have taken over the Rat Party.”
Ideal scenario. God I hope it plays out that way.
Right on Sarah
West was one of those who didn’t think we ought to be defunding obamacare
If every ‘NOT!’ “DID”, we would have total victory.
Interesting. I said essentially the same thing on another thread. One thing has to happen - we have to put a stop to the rampant vote fraud that is polluting the election process. Until we can effectively do that, all bets are off.
I don’t think she is serious about a Third Party run but did give a warning to the Republicans that if they don’t get their act together then the Party will go away and it will go away because this base will go away! She said it last year too that the Party doesn’t do what most people have been begging for them to do then it will go the way of the Whig Party
Yup, and look at what happened in NOVember...Tea Party induced landslide. The GOP would have lost many of those races without Tea candidates and Tea support.
They are fools (well duh ;) if they think that we are a passing fad.
Palin will not instigate this. Trump, the loudmouth already has. I never beilieved he would run as a Republican. I have a hunch he’d try the 3rd party. I don’t believe Palin would participate in it.
I must take issue with you!!! Palin/Trump, Trump/Palin, Palin/Cain, Cain/Palin, Palin/West, West/Palin, even Palin/Bachman, Palin/Ryan, Ryan/Palin, awesome, all of them, third party notwithstanding!!! the Republican establishment and RINOs must go!!!!
Correct, Romney isn't THAT bad and we can be rid of Obama if Romney wins.
I totally agree with everything you said. The Repubs have had their chance over and over and nothing changes. They're all (mostly) a bunch of eunuchs. A 3rd party CAN win this time around. It would have the TP vote and there are a LOT of us out here.
BTW I hate the spamming of that Romney video on every single article. I also know that JR doesn't care what I think. LOL
“I love Sarah, but, you’re dreaming. She and Romney would split the anti-Obama vote and Zero would probably carry 45 States. Wake up and smell the coffee.”
Probably all 57. ;-)

A third party, regardless of the candidate, would need to start very soon.
It would have to get on the ballot in each of the state, and that takes organization, time and money.
The current 2 parties have made it very difficult for a 3rd party to form to challenge them.
Sure would like it better if, on the subject of Trump and a third party, she mentions that Trump is over all more liberal than even the most RINO-ish RINO.
