It is interesting you bring up a 30 point conservative self litmus test, however, Trump in some ways was far from conservative, especially on the budget.
What is a CINO?
RINO = Republican In Name Only
CINO= Conservative In Name Only
A self reporting litmus test isn’t for weeding out people you disagree with. It is for weeding out people who PRETEND TO BE conservative but are not.
Expect to see cotton in Pelosi’s ears because they are bleeding hair like an afro hands shaking like a washer on spin cycle.
Such Independent parties never succeed, even if Trump were behind it.
The GOP has shown they are traitors to the very idea of a Republic...
They sat by and allowed an election be stolen. They have been complicit in showing votes don’t matter.
Short of purging that cancer, which won’t happen, I am done...
So thought the whigs about the Republicans
Fool me once... shame on you!
Fool me twice... Shame on ME!
My take as well...the Republican party would become the third party.
I have always been skeptical of the third party organizations, especially conservative efforts, but it seems the time is finally right for another run at it.
Trump is the only person who could make it a success.
Thank you for the clarification.
The Patriot Party is the perfect name for a new political party.
President Trump is the reason why this would be an exception. Third parties have risen before and major parties have fallen before.
President Trump brings with him a large group of motivated, dedicated voters. This country needs more than two parties, particularly when we see those two parties effectively working as one. In many ways, conservatives have the same struggle as hardcore liberals do: the major party we associate with doesn’t have our back. Pelosi - as misguided, nasty, and left as she is - isn’t nearly far enough to the left for people like AOC. Likewise, people further to the right usually have nothing but contempt for people like Mitch McConnell.
Mitch and all his little friends do not have our back. We need a party with people that represent us. We need those people to win seats in state legislatures and Congress. We need to force the GOP to with with us to get anything done.
To be tactically smart, 80 million Trump supporters should immediately register as Democrats and run MAGA conservatives in Democrat primaries. Watching the party trying to tell its 70 IQ base “NO! Don’t vote for THAT Democrat! I don’t CARE if you like what he is saying!” would be worth the price of admission. :)
As long as no one is under the illusion that they can beat China's Dominion Voting system.
As delicious as that would be I don’t there’s enough conservative discipline out there to make it work
This is brilliant I hadn’t thought about becoming a Democrat
They've rigged the system so only one party can win. But they forgot that opposing beliefs don't really need another party label, and that there are many ways to take advantage of all the work Democrats have done to game the system.
Agreed! Let’s make the WhiGOP the distant third party.
I may join the DNC not a bad idea
Great in theory. In reality, the state GOP parties are either dead or dying. In NY we had Ed Cox for a decade as the Democrats took over the state Assembly and Senate with super majorities. The GOP was left to crumbs and a handful of county patronage jobs. So don't count on these state GOP parties, grassroots efforts are the only way to get anything done.
BINGO! The winning post!
