We already have the "Independent" moniker. I could see success in the following -

"Independents" who run on repeal of Obamacare, tax reform, energy and jobs. That's it. Pledge that for the next two election cycles absolutely no discussion of "social issues". In order to save America, we will "agree to disagree" on social issues.

Killing babies is always wrong. I will never support a politician that supports abortion.

Count me out. I won't shut up about abortion and queer marriage.

Putting Christian issues aside, is to backslide

I am tired of the Joel Osteens and Rick Warrens of the world

The party needs to focus like a laser on the economy.

“Pledge that for the next two election cycles absolutely no discussion of “social issues”. In order to save America, we will “agree to disagree” on social issues.”

I appreciate your comments. Will it be possible to attract former Dem voters with an absence of discussion of social issues? The Dems run almost exclusively on social issues—the Dem politicians ignore economics right up to the President. The Pres ignores costs and job creation entirely, governing on only lip-service to jobs or the economy and only as an excuse to advance socialist policies—he is never serious about economics and seems to have no understanding of economics. The typical Dem voter sees money as coming from magical sources. But, talk to a Dem and they imagine that people are going to force them to believe in some kind of bizarre religion, are going to hurt innocent loving people, will force some extremely restrictive morality of vague character on them, will strip them of their freedom to be foolish, will eliminate science and replace it with rare religious beliefs, and will take away what little they have. Those extreme distortions and stereotypes, many on social issues, are an obstacle to overcome for a new political movement.

Thank you for your comments.
