“The author is correct. A third party is definitely not the answer.”

Explain to me how the GOP is the answer?

If they do nothing the Dems win and if they start a Protest everywhere in the country the Dems win by declaring Marshal Law

and phase out the old establishment fossils who forgot what we stand for.

I agree there are big problems with forming a new party; however, the writer's characterization that old fixtures in the party "forgot what we stand for" is 100% horse manure. Those people hate us flyover conservatives and theirs is a perpetual game of misleading us for support and making promises to us they NEVER intend to fulfill . . . flat out lying to us routinely. THAT is why we elected Trump in the first place and why we fought for his re-election.

MAJOR PRESSURE pressure needs to be put on low-lifes like McConnell, Romit, Toomey, Cornyn and others that their flim-flam is no longer workable. Be a real conservative that supports your real base or get the hell out. We are going to have to breathe fire at them to make it happen.

“ Democrats are known for overreaching, for pushing the envelope too far. ”

I keep hearing this phrase/theory a lot, but it seems that they keep getting away with it. Never compromising, always pulling the right to the middle and then renegotiating from there.

Well, good luck to all you who will remain in the Republican Party. I for one will never vote for a Republican again as even if they claim to be Trumpers. .one can not believe them. Look at Cornyn, Cruz and Chip. I’ve had my fill of these rascals.

What do conservatives do now? Batten down the hatches, stop spending money on ANYTHING non essential, and watch the left try to finish the destruction of America that Obummer started, what else is there TO do...

It's far too late to work within the system.

This article is bunk.

The durability of Conservatism has depended, to a great extent,
on it being a disposition rather than a philosophy.
What marks Conservatives out, across the generations,
and whatever the environment they operate in,
is an attitude of mind rather than an adherence to dogma.

And that disposition
- skeptical, cautious, pragmatic, sensitive to the local and the particular
- has been politically successful because it has been in tune with human nature.

Michael Gove

The Dems will overshoot, destroy themselves and the Republic.
The Democracy they espouse, never survives unfettered self interest,
Eventually, after much suffering, something else will emerge.

Love God, Love Neighbor as Thyself, Love your family,
provide for and protect them, if necessary, die for them.
It is the ancient way

It stands to reason that republican voters are a lot like republican politicians. They’ll claim now they’ll refuse to vote again for the perennial loser republican party and then when the times comes, they will.

They’ll reason we have to because the democrats are worse even after watching them conspire to rig the POTUS election for the “opposition”. Republican voters are afraid and the GOP is practically irrelevant as a national entity and always will be.

I think the solution is to reorganize on a local level outside the existing political system.

Both major parties are only debating the size of the chains and the size and scope of the Socialist Welfare State Big Government Super Bureaucracy that exists and will not be eliminated under any circumstances.

A vote for a Republican or a Democrat is a vote for unfree government with each faction wanting to put the other faction in prison or sanction it.

“Name one third party candidate that has ever been elected to an office (Dog Catcher does not count)”

How about Lincoln getting elected president a couple of years after the founding of a then third party called the “republican party” which supplanted the Whigs?

He was a Whig before the founding of that “third party”, but quickly switched to be a republican.

President Trump has options.

1) Call out Harris for not being a Natural Born Citizen as defined in Sen. Resolution 511 (2008). Neither of her parents were ‘... American citizen parents’ at her birth.

see - link regarding NBC

2) Call out Obama for not being a Natural Born Citizen and remove the 44th President from history.

3) Have the FEC de-certify the Democrat National Committee as an on-going criminal enterprise for proposing unqualified candidates in past elections. Overnite all the (D)s become (I)s.

4) Challenge the seats of all members of Congress who voted to certify Gropin’ Joe and Kamalatoes and remove the ones elected in fraud-ridden elections.

5) Put up a ‘Help Wanted’ with the thought of firing and replacing 2/3 of all non-military federal workers. That would include the entire FBI, and the arrest of all CIA operatives found stateside.

You can find the meaning of Natural Born Citizen here.

en.wikisource.org/wiki/United_States_Statutes_at_Large/Volume_1/1st_Congress/2nd_Session/Chapter_3"

Look for this part:

“And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, Also, children of citizens born beyond sea, &c. or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States”

That seams to be a painfully clear definition of what was meant by “Natural Born Citizen” to me.

Okay. There have been a hundred of these articles since January. Some of it is fine, I agree with it. Great.

But here’s what NEVER gets addressed. Say despite efforts to primary, you wind up in the General with, oh, say, Mitt Romney on the ballot. Hold yer nose and vote right? I mean, hey, if you don’t the Dems win, right?

I agree. I see people are angry with the GOP, I try to explain that the GOP is only the people we put in there. Get involved with the party at the State level.
A third party will only ensure Democrat commies in power forever.
