Had Trump run as a third party Hillary would also be in her 2nd term. And Woodrow Wilson would be a footnote in history if Teddy R didn’t go Bull Moose.

At the moment I see this a fundraising tool and a THREAT to RINOs to not go along with faux impeachment (and the attempt to bar Trump from running again). An FEC filing is nothing close to a political party that runs candidates so whether you’re for or against the idea, I’d chill.

The name “Patriot Party” is also under trademark already by some random guy.

If Trump ran again and is not hobbled by age I figure his chances at the GOP nomination would approach 100%. Only a younger patriot like Hawley would possibly be a threat, Larry Hogan or Mitt Romney would have zero chance.

The scum globalist RINOS will be the ones running a third party if that happens.

Who can be trusted in the GOP? Even the VP was a swamp creature when push came to shove.

And yes, the scum globalist RINOS would 1000000000% be the ones running a third party to f**k the POTUS one more time.

Agree.

Structurally, because of the spoils system-—which is far more powerful than most people realize-—only two parties are viable. This has been proven with the Know-Nothings, the Populists, the Socialists, the Reform Party, and the Libertarian Party.

While we all think races are all about ideology, many more people are in it for the gubment jobs, the gubment cheese. They can SHARE much of your ideology, but if you have no way to reward supporters over a (say) three-election cycle, there is no hope. They will always drift back to one of the two majors.

You have to eat the GOP from the inside out, like one of Ripley’s aliens.
