“More than 100 Republican leaders are threatening to form a third party.”
Excellent (rubbing hands). This means we MAGA voters won’t have to form a 3rd party since the RINO’s are leaving voluntarily. It shows that Trump has taken over the GOP, finally.
My general view remains that the GOP has to die.
My reasoning is: The so-called RINOs are not insignificant in numbers. They are at least 20% of the current GOP voters, here in the Northeast, probably more. They cannot, of course, be successful on their own and the Democrats won’t have them, they will be like the Liberal Democrats in the UK- 5-15% of the vote in any statewide or national election.
BUT
With the current party structure, the remaining GOP will never win another election, BECAUSE, the other voters and non-voters needed to join a majority coalition are Democrats. They are patriotic, they are socially conservative, but they are economically liberal, or populist.
The one thing they hate more than the Pelosi Party is - Republicans.
A governing party sufficient to save the nation must include those people, this the GOP cannot do, so something new needs to be built from the ground up.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
a shot across the bow of the RINO party...
100 republicans vs 80 million Trump voters..Yeah,that’s the ticket..Show us you mean business
This is the face of the former “resistance”. They should all be tried and convicted of sedition. “I am a former official of homeland security”. I missed where that is an elected position. No, he was a POS enemy agent of the RINO establishment.
Oh please do it!!
In the last 100 years, nobody has successfully started a major third party. This is doomed to spectacular failure, despite all the predictable hyping that their Big Media pals will give them.
Possible name: “The Warmonger Party”
Assistant Democrats - bump for later....
Good!!
Go, don’t let the door hit ya, where the good Lord split ya!!
These RINOs are welcome to leave. We don’t want them in OUR party.
“Let them start their own third party and fade into irrelevance!”
A third party, especially with these bozos, is doomed to fail before it even starts.
Now isn’t this better that the never-Trumpers start a third party rather than Trump forming one? There were quite a number of Trump supporters here that wanted Trump to form his own party. Instead Trump gets the well-established Republican Party, where he would have a much better chance for success should he choose to run in 2024 which he probably will.
Sounds like a good plan to me. Leave the party. We have been trying to figure out the easiest way to do that. Take Carl with you and the Bush Brothers as well.
The Republican Party better come to grips with this issue:
There are significant portions of “Republicans” who will refuse to vote in the next election at all, never mind for a Republican candidate.
In elections that are traditionally decided by percentage points, not tens of percentage points, swinging a block of voters is significant. It is why, in the absence of illegality and fraud, the 2020 election would have been a disaster for the Democrats due to the numbers of minority/black voters who voted for Trump. Trump got a larger share than he did in 2016, and any increase in support for “the enemy” in a block the Left takes completely for granted is a bad thing for them.
We face the same issue-there are many conservatives who will refuse to vote because of two reasons: With unpunished obvious fraud, they feel their vote simply will not count, and secondly, the Republican party as a whole was complicit, not only with their glaring silence and unwillingness to act on the fraud, but openly supported the Democrat party in vilifying conservatives who took issue with the fraud and openly worked with the Left to punish Trump.
They better face this problem or they are done as a serious political entity, and that means our Republic is done as well.
I said the same thing as you, before I saw your post-—omg
GMTA!
No more talk about conservatives forming their own party!
The GOP is our party! If we are not able to cleanse the GOP of those who do not support limited gov’t and individual liberty, then we will NEVER be able to cleanse a new party either!
That is a FACT that the shiny, new party people cannot answer.
The shiny, new party people were not willing to clean the fish tank, so they want to go buy a new one and expect different results.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
Miles is a former Dick Cheney intern. He even donated to Obama. Honesty is not his strength.
This is again where the media got to frame the issue about our gal Liz. She was told to leave because she was a verbal thorn to the party’s positions. Those positions are somewhat in line with what Trump WON on. She had a mania about hating Trump and let that detract her from her role.
If what the Media is saying about a split over Trump, a enthusiastic would be elevated into Liz’s old job. She is a RINO lite but knows to keep her mouth shut on the Trump personal issues.
Their framing is bunk.
Hey Miles! Don’t leave your friends behind and don’t waste any time leaving.
Don’t forget to take you home boys like cornyn, graham, lankford, murkowski, cheney etc. with you.
