Mesa County Republicans abandon party; begin the Deplorables
KJCT 8 ^ | Updated: Wed 10:35 PM, Oct 12, 2016 | Kalie Greenberg

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.(KJCT) It’s a campaign that's dividing a nation, but now it may be dividing a local party.

“It’s worse than that they’re useless. They’re actually trying to sabotage Donald Trump from getting elected,” said Matt Patterson who’s pioneering the Mesa County Deplorables.

Patterson, a former employee for the Republican Party, says the Mesa County Deplorables is a volunteer group with one goal.

"Make sure Donald Trump get as many votes as he can here in Western Colorado,” said Patterson.

The county party is a microcosm of what's wrong with the notorious state party. The county party's executive board says they're for Trump; but in a recent public forum they campaigned against changing to a real presidential primary and to retain the current mess that Cruz easily exploited. Their basic theme is that delegates to the state convention are smarter and more responsible than the rest of us. These are the delgates that got bamboozled by Ted Cruz, Darryl Glenn, etc.

I would like to see the Mesa County Republican Party repealed and replaced, and this could conceivably be the start of something; but it remains to be seen if the high level of public disgust with the system results in change or just tuning out.

I’d be interested to know what happens. Unless something’s done to clean house the Republican Party is going the way of the Whigs.

If these Rinos give the election to Hillary this 22 years Catholic republican will be independent before the inaugural. I’d like to see a list of all the crap that has gone on in the past 2 years alone without a peep from the republican majority useless congress!!!

The Deplorables sound like a sub-party, like the Tea Party intended to be.

The move could catch on.

I like the name the “deplorable” party :)

What the hell, enough ex girlfriends have called me it.

Might as well make it official.

Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray for Donald’s votes to pull it out.

This may be the first election in decades for America to go to the polls MAD and WON’T TAKE IT ANY MORE. The mud fight between Donald and Hillary has been very illustrative. No, Donald is not a perfect saint. No, Donald does not need to be, not to be a very viable alternative choice to the wicked witch of America.

I have started carry a sign in front of the local Republican Party HQ saying “Trump YES! Republicans NEVER Again” Please consider doing the same until they come around. The quislings here don’t even list Trump as A CANDIDATE on their website!!

How about the “We the People” for the name of the new party of all Citizens betrayed by the DC UniParty?

The GOP has become a sad, tragic caricature of the party of Abraham Lincoln, who, if saints can weep, has to be bawling his eyes out about now.

...and the notorious state party, like mine, is a microcosm of what's wrong with the national party.

Folks here at FR like to talk about the GOPe when in reality it is the REPUBLICAN PARTY that is screwing over this nation...just like the Democrats!

What Trump has done is the political equivalent of a hostile corporate takeover in the GOP.

The GOP is none too pleased about it!

Well, if Trump squeaks it out (he still could, or might even have a last minute avalanche of indies) then a lot of GOP people would be wise to use their golden parachutes, so to speak. Donald will not tolerate them hanging around to be poison pills.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

At one time, I really thought and hoped, that the Tea Party would eventually replace the republican party. Not so much so much any more. There are some very powerful and liberal people running the republican party.

I’m going to go ahead and hope this new movement in Colorado is the start of something big.

I like his style, wearing the deplorable label. Here’s hoping we don’t have to make an entirely new party, just bring the Republican one back to sensibility.

IMHO, it’s a stained word that means NOTHING!!

I think Trump will win but his appeal isn’t spilling over into the senate/house races, as evidenced by the primaries

People will vote smart for Pres and DUMB for congress. I dont get it.

I am praying for a Trump victory here. I hope everyone on this site is.

If nothing else, he has exposed how rigged this all is when we only suspected. This is the closest we’ve been to having someone actually representing us, the American people, in decades.

WTP? It’ll be perverted into ‘white toilet paper’ by the left.
