It would be a massive undertaking and be opposed by all the large money interests that currently own the parties...including the drug and human trafficking cartels that along with their cheap labor corporatist allies in the Chamber of Commerce, control American immigration and border policy.
It would be long slog and require tremendous resources (which is why Trump went with the hostile takeover of the Republican Party to begin with). Eventually it would be the death of the Republican Party but getting there would be brutal and probably violent at some point. When a new major party makes its appearance, in our history the odds are pretty even that a civil war follows. But in the end, recapturing the government from the professional political class might require that anyway. Whence goes the army is always the question. I’d get behind the idea just because I think the way we are headed, unimaginable destruction and bloodshed are in our future anyway.
Done!
“”Please contact your GOP Senator and let him know you support the President on this.””
“Tariffs are not taxes”
“Why does congress claim approval authority?”
Congress retails tax and regulation to the country through K St lobbying/intermediary industry,
Tariffs interfere with Congress’ business model-the business model that has taken Washington DC from 84th city in the nation per capita income in 2000 to number one as of 2016.
The intent of the Founding Fathers was for Fed.gov to fund itself off tariffs.
“The tariff was the main form of federal taxation over the first half of the history of this country, until the income tax emerged in 1913. There is an indisputable chronological correlation between the tariff and phenomenal economic growth. From the late 18th to the early 20th twentieth centuries, the United States steadily developed into the most successful economy in the world.”

For Congress to take money in return for tariff regulation would be opening Congress to charges of treason-accepting money from foreign interests and governments for legislative favor.
Taxation and regulation however... has a “established and accepted” business model.
MAGA!!!!
The Senate Republicans KNOW this is just a tactic so...perhaps they're testing the waters for the coming impeachment effort? Caesar, look out!
Off subject - if Dobbs has Ed Rollins on each and every show as a "guest" isn't he actually cast/staff? Put Ed in a side chair already and have him go "Hey-ohhh" and "Heh heh heh...good one" now and then.
When we call, make sure to ask who is lining their pocket.
What about DJT doing the same thing here. Now THAT would blow these scoundrels out of the water, wouldn’t it?

I’m all in for that! The GOP has stabbed us in the back for decades. How many more election cycles do we need to see to convince us that they work for the Chamber of Commerce and other special interests and not for us?
A new party is an absolute necessity in my view. We need representatives who are committed to conservative principles and will stand up and fight against the statists. The GOP will never be that party in my opinion.
Let us not forget that all politicians, including Republicans, put polling over principle every time.

Note that you rarely, if ever, hear the word ‘principled’ and ‘politician’ in the same sentence. To do so would be oxymoronic.
A principled politician is a politician
who, when he’s bought, stays bought.
LOL!!! Never heard that one before.
When Trump’s re-elected it might be time to consider starting a new political party...
” (which is why Trump went with the hostile takeover of the Republican Party to begin with). Eventually it would be the death of the Republican Party”
Interesting statement which is actually very true regarding a hostile takeover of the GOP by Trump.
He loves this country very much as do so many of us Freepers and others. These skunks in congress need to be replaced with patriots, not lifelong politicians. Founding fathers would be apalled with today’s group.
