Shock poll: Trump 'Patriot Party' would win almost quarter of voters, drop GOP to third place
Just the News ^ | January 25,2021 | By Daniel Wattenberg

Posted on 01/25/2021 2:32:18 PM PST by Hojczyk

A Trump third party could provoke a pivotal realignment in American politics. With the support of 46% of registered voters in the new poll, Democrats would reap the benefits of a fractured opposition and entrench themselves as the nation's dominant party — even without majority support.

Among "very conservative" voters — who make up a disproportionately large bloc within the Republican primary electorate — a Trump Patriot Party crushes the GOP 55%-24%.

Should Trump remain in the GOP, his wide lead among these highly motivated voters affords him great leverage to influence the direction of the party by wielding the threat of conservative primary challenges against establishment Republicans ill at ease with the former president's combative brew of conservatism infused with populism and nationalism.

This is the democrat dream come true. Highly doubt it'll happen though. I hope.

You overlook something, this party will attract from both parties and from those who are currently alienated and do not vote at all.

Trump attracted them as did Reagan. The rest of the candidates do not even bother with them.

They will never come to the Republican Party.

DC is a rough place. Add to that outside influence (China), a politically controlled press, Big Tech, Soros money, violent Democrat foot soldiers....these are all things that must be dealt with, including the massive fraud, and simply forming a new political party isn't going to solve them. I don't know what the answer is but emotional responses to this mess won't change it.
Trump won. And I have no answers. What do you do with a dishonest press and the First Amendment? I got nuthin'.

We would never win again. Does the Bull Moose and Ross Perot ring a bell?

FYI, but with rigged vote counts, the actual votes don't matter anyway.

But even when some Republicans win, it's really just a different shade of Democrat.

If there’s the potential for 46% support now it would be much higher by the time it’s ready to roll.
For a variety of reasons. :)

That’s my take.

Only true Constitutionalists need apply.

Exactly. The GOP donor class and the party machinery is controlled by the establishment. This notion that we’re going to be able to primary the RINOS out of the party is fantasy! Any conservative candidate is going to be outspent and pulverized by the GOPe. Even if we could win a number of primary races against them the establishment will just join forces with the Democrats and ensure a loss in the general election. The GOP is toast! There is no reforming or revitalizing it ever again!

Slow but sure...

I agree.

And yes, we would have to caucus with the RP, but I would make
it clear we would be ready to walk on any unConstitutional plans.
PERIOD!

You want our help AT ALL, and it’s a new game, our rules.

If somebody smart is in charge they will create a third party that can attract minority conservative democrats.

The GOP is dead. They are leek a snake with it’s head cut off, still wriggling, but dead nonetheless.

I don’t see ONE BENEFIT in your approach. Just staying home on election day? Voting for 3rd party? HAHA such a losing cause.

The ONLY reasonable alternative to the RINO’s is to primary them anywhere and everywhere. It may not succeed 100% across the board, but one by one we can rid of the RINO’s.

If primary challenge fails first time, work harder next time.
Sitting on the fence is a sure loser.

If Trump actually had no plan to deal with the election fraud then it is all over for this country. This won’t help. It will only split the vote on the conservative side. Not that it matters since the democrats own the ballot box now and forevermore. And in 4 years only those who speak Chinese will remain anyways. If this is all that Trump has then no thanks.

We sat back and trusted him. When many of us knew that the cheating needed to be dealt with before and during the election, and not after. Turns out I was conned into believing that Trump had it all taken care of. He did not, and so he failed in the worst way possible. And every good thing that he ever did is being undone.
