We need to split the GOP by supporting a 3rd party; just like when the Whigs were destroyed and gave birth to the Republicans.

The GOP has has too many second chances, and their leadership is still essentially the same deep state establishment.

It may feel “righteous “ to split the GOP but when you split something that at best has a slim “voting” majority you don’t get a larger number in the two parts (Assuming splitting doesn’t end up fragmenting into many parts!) Remember the Rats are 40% to 45% of the electorate and they are far more disciplined & solidified around left wing causes and candidates then the conservatives are around their candidates & causes. So splitting (I will use ridiculously high voting conservative numbers to make a point!) 60% to 55% into at least two parts is not going to create a winning majority.

Better work to take over the GOP! That will take hard persistence & patient work. We do not have a parliamentary system. No coalition of parties picks the head of government and then parcels out power. It can’t the Constitution won’t allow it. Without the ability to had out power how do you discipline 3rd & 4th party members in the legislature? The Founding Fathers created a system to minimize “factions (parties)”. That minimum is two, they may not be called Rats & GOP, but there will always be ultimately two. Minority parties very quickly are shoved to the “fringe”. Who do King & Saunders caucus with? The Rats, that’s who! They are no more true Senate “independents” then Pelosi is Catholic! When they caucus separately put up their own candidates for Senate offices & committees I will retract what I have just said.

All splitting the GOP will do is consign conservatism to permanent disenfranchisement. The socialists(Rats) & corporatist(GOPe) will cut deals and turn conservatives into something that’s laughed at in the history books like - the “Know Nothing” party.

The Dems and the Losertarians would just love it if we tried to support a third party. (They would even add some of their own straw candiates.)

Reclaiming our own party of Reagan and Lincoln, from within, is the only viable path.

Support a third party, who doesn't have no chance other than maybe in local town elections and even that is questionable.

You have got to be joking
