ORLANDO—President Donald (Trump) will reaffirm that he does not want a third political party during his first speech after leaving office, according to former Trump campaign manager (Lewandowski.)
Lewandowski met with Trump for several hours on Thursday and went over the notes for the highly anticipated speech the president is scheduled to deliver at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando on Sunday.
“He’s going to reaffirm that he does not want to have a third party, that he is going to be part of—and the head of—the Republican Party,” Lewandowski told The Epoch Times on Feb. 28.
We the people just want a second party, instead of the Uniparty (D&R divisions)
That was the only way Bill Clinton got elected in 1993 with 43% of the vote.
So why are we hearing so much “America First” stuff at CPAC? It sounded to me like a new party is already forming behind the scenes. And it came from strong Trump supporters too.
That’s certainly my thinking.
Send Ditch, Thune, Nikki and Cheney to the back benches.
If you think you are going to take over the GOP from the Bush League Republicans, you have your work cut out for you.
145 voted to keep Liz Cheney in leadership in the House and confirmed their commitment to the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA), that’s 145 that need to be primaried.
Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Blunt, Grassley, Lankford, Lee, Scott and Rubio are all Bush League Republicans and need to be replaced in 2022.
The GOP agenda is the opposite of MAGA.
If the republican party wants to win another election
they will get behind Trump and the 70,000,000 voters
who support him, other wise they can take a hike.
They mostly weaseled their way into leadership positions.
Trump has fingered them for us to respond by continuing to out them and then NOT VOTE FOR THEM.
GoodBye McConnell and pals! We want our party back!
Eighty million, at least. Don’t believe the fake numbers.
They just assisted the Democrats to cheat President Trump out of office.
SMART!!
Indeed, a new party may form with or without President Trump wanting it. People are sick and tired of the two-sides-of-the-same-coin parties in DC. People got a taste for what it’s like when someone is actually working for you instead of working against you. President Trump opened peoples’ eyes to what COULD be.
Now they want more. I think it would be extremely difficult to get that inside the GOP.
We will see.
They have all the levers of power within the party.
They are not going to give it up.
They regard the voters as a flock of sheep to be corralled for shearing come election time.
Because we keep re-electing them.
McConnell, Grahamnesty, Tillis, Cornyn, Cassidy and the rest all got re-elected on Trump’s coattails and then shivved him.
Unless we take out Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Blunt, Grassley, Lankford, Lee, Scott and Rubio and replace them with patriots they will keep stabbing us in the back.
Trump’s not an idiot. He can’t win as a 3rd party.
I agree with your assessment.
Perot proved that a strong third party is the ticket to a Democrat plurality win and an electoral landslide.
Trump still trying to make nice with the gopE. They will stab him in the back first chance they get, again.
We've had these fights before in the GOP. This is just a continuous battle in the war between blue-collar, America-first patriots vs establishment me-too neo-con Republicans.
Just support the individual conservatives, you don't have to support the GOP leadership and the GOP groups that do the fundraising.
Rubio’s Senate seat is up for grabs in 2022 and any number of Florida House seats would be a slam dunk for Trump
Gives him the ability cry politics on any of the Democrat dirty tricks they plan to pull on him. FWIW Rubio passed ( or was excluded) on CPAC this year which is strange
The Republican party started as a third party, Abraham Lincoln won, the Whigs disappeared. Now the Whigs are back and own the party. It is time for the Republicans to leave the party and form a new third party.
