Voting for Donald Trump’s impeachment and keeping the people in leadership positions who supported this recent impeachment push is going to drive the GOP base mad. It already has. I will not be shocked if Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) faces a serious primary challenge in 2022. While there were reports that at least half of the House GOP caucus wanted her gone, she remained, handily winning a secret ballot vote. It’s a classic case of all talk, no action. Saying one thing but doing another. I know, that’s a hallmark characteristic of American politics, but people have had it. It’s given in to the populist swell within the GOP. And with Trump gone, there is a fear that a new party could emerge. Now, Trump’s political team has disavowed the formation of this “patriot party.” But that’s not the same thing as Trump himself saying he has done so. GOP leadership should be watching. Their base is getting restless with these betrayals, one of the biggest being the failed repeal of Obamacare. For ten years, that was a promise — and nothing happened. No wonder why a new poll shows that a whopping 64 percent of Republicans would jump ship for a Trump-led political party. Oh, and the former president would get a sizeable chunk of Democrats too (via The Hill):
A majority of Republican voters said if former President Trump were to start a new political party they would likely join, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds.
Sixty-four percent of registered Republican voters in the Jan. 28-29 survey said they'd join a new political party led by the former president, including 32 percent who said they would very likely join.
By contrast, 36 percent of Republican respondents said they are either very or somewhat unlikely to join.

Oh, piff. You think you can put the toothpaste back in the tube. It won’t happen.
Me too. Having watched POTUS in action, I suspect he’ll surprise us with a new strategy.
loose TONS?? LOL... how about lose the PARTY itself! LOL
I agree.
I missed our real POTUS so much and cannot wait until he reemerges to take on the world—after putting this second irrational impeachment trial behind him.
Saw on OAN that he’s planning visits/rallies on a Revenge Tour, which is surely to be awesome to behold!!
IMHO, 64% is too low to be true...
IAC, the boss said he is staying and the GOP belongs to him...
I’m keeping my Trump subscription going no matter what...
Although, in truth, there will never be another free election for at least the next 11,999 months...
Communists rule... For now...
Count me as one of them.
Excellent points.
I’m ready for it. I will never give another dime to the RNC. And I truly mean that.
Good for you. If New York State issued voter registration cards to us, I'd have sent mine to her too.
They needed a poll for that? Find out how much they racked in January.
If Trump wanted revenge against the party that betrayed him, a third party would do it in spades.
It should be obvious even to the biggest GOPe bootlicker here that the GOPe doesn’t give one shite from shinola for us
We have no choice
Bullshit
What you fear is already happening
By the GOPe you love so
I will go out on a limb here
Trump and other dependable notables start a new party....yea I know what he’s said
The GOPe would collapse except their leadership
It would only be a matter time till the GOPe would be the greens or libertarian party
I am convinced that of then75-80 million who voted for Trump 80-90% voted for him....not Mitch or Lindsey or Cheney etc
Either that or we have no party and continues to vote uniparty
Plus one
Thew GOP is a horse shit outfit that lies when they portray themselves as a conservative small gub mint party.
The GOP is no different than the Dems in that they both are go along get along we all be making money crappola.
The Donald is anti big gub mint.
Received my annual REPUBLICAN membership card and a nice letter explaining their feckless ball less traitorous piss poor excuse for eviscerating and purging trump I FILED IT UNDER “G” FOR GARBAGE and in the trash it went, The GOP is DONE DONE DONE
BS. It is not zero sum game. A lot of “sideliners”, million of them, that work for a lining would join a new MAGA party.
I am also sick of the Glandular Old Prostate Party..
Like the GOP itself, a fake political party for fake patriots.
