New Poll Shows GOP Could Lose Tons of Supporters...to a New Trump-Led Party

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.

If the GOPE is all you got to offer then it indeed is over. I’m will not vote for the GOPE liars and frauds anymore. The Democrats winning is on the GOPE not me. When you offer a real choice instead of 30 years of broken promises and more lies I’ll vote GOP. This is ALL on the GOPE if they lose because they are idiots.

There is no new party. There will be no more fair elections. USA died Jan 6, 2021. Only the military can prove me wrong.

Sadly, I think that you are right...

I’m shocked they haven’t shown up calling us purist, Democrats, disloyal(that draws a big laugh considering their behavior the last 4yrs). They are the definition of insanity.

Your beloved Party has NOTHING to offer other than we’re not Democrats to get my vote. Your party is not America first but a party of collaboration, globalism, graft, corruption, broken promises and liars. I voted for your Party for 40 years and Reagan and Trump actually wanted my vote and me in the party and gave a damn about the country and the average American.

Keep your beloved party of America hating elitist snobs and losers. Until you have something to offer you and the country are screwed.

The new Trump-led party is the Republican Party. The RINO’s can go elsewhere.

I really don’t see myself getting much involved in politics in the future unless we get something promising injected. I will not be holding my nose to vote any more, and I don’t care if the liberal with a D behind his name beats the liberal with an R behind his. Even if we stay committed, we are decades from being able to wrestle control from the ruling class. We need a new party, a fresh start.

A third party is fake news and everyone knows it. Fills in a slow day though.

Concur; it is a fool's errand, so to speak. President Trump proved the GOP can change, can be the party of those who love the greatness that America once was, and can be again.

But both Criminal Enterprises in Congress can still loot and pillage no matter who is in power.

"I would guess that somewhere between 20 and 25% actually made the official split I made"

That is about what we were seeing here in Dallas at the Trump rally.

So 20 - 25% of the Dems and probably all of the Republican voters would absolutely explain the Trump vote wrecking the Dominion system's programming forcing it to give Biden a totally ridiculous 81 million votes and making the Dems bring in actual truckloads of ballots to run through the machines to backfill the 81 million number.

The bastards to stole the 2020 elections...

"Steal" would infer that someone came in and took it but the Republican half of the Uniparty was in on it too. Some of them showed their true selves voting for impeachment.

The 2020 elections won't be stolen, they'll be rigged by both Republicrats and Democrans. Far fewer people will waste their time donating, volunteering, or voting because they know without a doubt that the fix is in.

What fool would vote in a rigged election?

So what’s your solution? Remain victims? Keep saying they cheated? More useless secession talk? Shall we hold our breaths and stomp our feet?

You walk out of a casino with rigged roulette wheels. There are other avenues to address needs that don't involve government. Government is desperate to keep people convinced that only government can solve problems.

Bingo, it will be like Teddy Roosevelt splitting the Republican vote with the corpulent Taft and ushering in Woody Wilson... which led to the Federal Reserve and US involvement in WW I.

The GOP to get along watered down their party they went the same way as Fox News—The results will be the same—we need a new party to rip the guts out of the GOP and the Liberal Progs. Time to make the Republicrats go the way of the Whigs.

I agree with everything you just said...

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil

I guess the GOP will never learn. Seven million people didn’t vote for the republicans, or the conservatives, or for the majority in the senate or to gain the house. They voted for the president who has succeeded more than any president in a hundred years and maybe in history. So the GOP just threw out the baby with the bath water. No need for a bath without a baby. And their way of getting water has been blocked by those that now control the faucet by not taking care of the baby and losing their justification for water. Fools!

“only government can solve problems”
.........
We’ve chosen a two party democracy to govern our republic.
........
Only that government can solve some problems, such as securing the borders, currency manipulation, military readiness, foreign affairs, etc.
.........
It can be said that we get the government we deserve. If we want better, fix the vehicle that gets us to good government and win elections.

Where do I sign up? I’m still flying my Trump flag and my American flag is at half mast.
.................................................
I am doing likewise and will continue to do so until a legitimately elected President is again in the White House. I will also be wearing my Trump 2024 Hats and other Trump swag continuously.
