Trump jumps into a divisive battle over the Republican Party — with a threat to start a ‘MAGA Party’

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former president Donald Trump threw himself back into politics this weekend by publicly endorsing a devoted and divisive acolyte in Arizona who has embraced his false election conspiracy theories and entertained the creation of a new “MAGA Party.”

In a recorded phone call, he offered his “complete and total endorsement” for another term for Arizona state party chairwoman Kelli Ward, a lightning rod who has sparred with the state’s Republican governor, been condemned by the business community and overseen a recent flight in party registrations. She narrowly won reelection, by a margin of 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent, marking Trump’s first victory in a promised battle to maintain political relevance and influence after losing the 2020 election.

In recent weeks, Trump has entertained the idea of creating a third party, called the Patriot Party, and instructed his aides to prepare election challenges to lawmakers who crossed him in the final weeks in office, including Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.), according to people familiar with the plans.

“Impeachment” is actually nothing. It is a formal accusation, this one being illegal and frivolous with nothing close to the required probable cause, all engineered by the Delusional Lying Left.

The only thing that has teeth is conviction by the Senate. Conviction requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt of each element of the charged crime, in this case I think it’s inciting to riot, for which they don’t have enough even to formally accuse much less convict. But since when did the truth ever stop this criminal cabal in official clothing?

I hope this Saboteur in Chief and his cronies are hoisted by their own petard.

The DC Uniparty is truly evil. Trump threatened to expose their corruption, legal though it mostly is. They had to make an example of what happens to anyone not on the swamp team so that no other businessman would ever try to intrude.

He was never a good fit for the GOP. But starting another party will just ensure that the Dems win.!!!!!!!!?!?????

With the overwhelming support of 70% of the conservative GOP voters and @ 40% of the Dem/Indep/minority voters The Donald would draw voters like flies to honey!

The GOP would cease to exist in two election cycles. One could seriously see 30% of current house members change to the Patriot Party before 2022.

WWG1WGA!

Its basically 90% of republicans that support Trump and 10% being neocons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ha~ in probably less than 3 months those neocons will be crawling over glass to vote for President Trump if he runs for office again, and the DEMOCRATS know it!! That is why the Impeachment!

The DC corruption is anything but legal.

Most of the federal government is unconstitutional (AKA “Swamp” AKA “Deep State”) if anyone cares, and the massive bribery schemes are all impeachable offenses.

The Delusional Lying Left and the DC Establishment are basically a criminal syndicate and cabal.

Congress writes the laws that permit family members to serve on boards of foreign companies, for example. When voters express outrage over some apparent corruption, congress passes a law with a fancy name to outlaw the worst of it. Later, in some completely unrelated bill, congress will
Insert language that completely guts the previous law. The swamp is devious and deep.

To many really sleazy people calling themselves Republicans. See Mitch McConnell (sp), et al

MAGA Party is long overdue. Patriot Party also has a great ring to it.

I call it Battered Conservative Syndrome, akin to Battered Wife Syndrome.

The idjits proposing to stay in the GOP are the same as the battered wives who refuse to leave their abusers because they think they can change their abuser for the better.
It has never worked and never will.
The GOP will never change and we best get used to the idea.
A third party is the ONLY way our voices will be heard.

How many bluffs does it take to convince America that Donald Trump’s ego is their worst nightmare? His biggest bluff, the EO 13848 from 2018 is now the author of the abortion of the Republic. How much more of that man’s foolishness will it take to awaken folks to his dangers?
