According to a new poll, nearly half of Republicans say they will leave the Republican Party to join a third-party created and led by former President Donald Trump. That doesn't bode well for the Republican establishment.
The new poll by Suffolk University-USA Today found a whopping 46 percent of Republicans are willing to leave the GOP in order to a join new party created by Donald Trump. Just 27 percent of Republicans said they would stick with the GOP, and the rest are undecided.
"We feel like Republicans don't fight enough for us, and we all see Donald Trump fighting for us as hard as he can, every single day," said Brandon Keidl, a 27-year-old Republican and small-business owner from Milwaukee. "But then you have establishment Republicans who just agree with establishment Democrats and everything, and they don't ever push back."
No wonder establishment Republicans jumped at the opportunity to disqualify the former president from running for office again. Nearly half of GOP voters are willing to abandon ship to join a new Trump party.
And Republican voters aren't looking the other way when it comes to GOP lawmakers who supported the failed second impeachment against Trump. Eight in 10 Republicans said they are less likely to vote for a Republican politician who supported impeachment. Ten House GOP members aligned themselves with Democrats to impeach Trump, and seven GOP senators did the same in the Senate. Many of the defecting Republicans are now facing censures and primary challenges back at home.
The poll also found that a large majority of Republicans aren't overlooking voting irregularities in November's election either. Some 73 percent of Republicans said Biden wasn't legitimately elected president, and most Republicans don't want to see their elected representatives cooperating with a president they consider illegitimate.
A third party sure sounds like a losing strategy, but so does the Republican establishment. The polls seem to show that a large majority of Republicans simply want someone like Trump to fight for them every day. People are tired of Republicans who seem to only have a spine when it comes to denouncing their fellow Republicans.
My guess is the democratic party br cheering with lots of
encouragement to the pubs. Make their rule much easier
with a split among their opponents. JMO
Not considering the vast amount of shocked Democrats at what has happened to their party, I’d guess up to 1/3 will join the new Trump party as well. Yes, 1/3.
The vote is only split if idiots insist on continuing to vote for more betrayal from the GOP.
Vote MAGA and let the GOP die.
History tells us the Republicans arose at the time when the Whig party was dissolving. So the Republicans quickly replaced the Whigs as the 2nd major party. And history tells us the new Republican party elected a president in 1860, only 6 years after they were founded.
While we have had two ,major political parties for most of our history, those two parties have not always been today’s Democrat and Republican parties.
I know some say you have to work within the existing Republican party, and drive out Rinos. We will all see how it goes.
Exactly.
Better yet, let the establishment leave.
I left them on 11-4-2020. I’m not going back, ‘new’ party or not.
ALL of us need to work locally to find MAGA-types that we can use to primary our RINO, Globalist, Never-Trumper Congress Critters and GOVERNORS in 2022 in our individual states and to also help other states as needed.
Get busy! :)
What happened to your trademark? Th wit} Either *spit* or *snort*. A post from you without either one or the other does not sound right.
Yes, agreed. Hubby said President Biden today and I said, please don’t refer to him that way ever again in my presence.
If we keep re-electing Bush League Republicans we will get what we have always gotten, Assistant Democrats.
LOL! Here ya go!
*SPIT*
*SNORT*
*SMIRK*
*SEND CHOCOLATE*
His Fraudulency in my house.
Our Lord said that every foundation would be shaken.
Thank you! My faith in humanity is restored. Dark or white chocolate?
Dark. 70%-ish. :)
The other 54% should just go ahead and become Democrats.
I do not care what President Trump tweeted about anything and anyone.
The only thing I care about is the fact that he is the only political figure, in the last 40+ years that actually cared about the people. And did things to help them.
What we’re seeing now is a small cabal, that has been able to get themselves a place at the table, working to destroy this country and they’re doing it with the help of the GOP at the federal, state and local level.
I and my vote will be gone in a heart beat.
The old school republicans helped, aided and abetted, the democrats/socialists/communists to steal the last election from President trump.
That is easy for all to see.
Those maggots already chose their side and it was not the side of honesty and personal integrity.
