Trump adviser says former President not currently considering launching a third party
CNN ^ | January 24, 2021 | Jim Acosta and Paul LeBlanc

Posted on 01/25/2021 8:10:58 AM PST by McGruff

Former President Donald Trump remains committed to reelecting Republicans and is not currently considering launching a third party, a senior Trump adviser said Sunday while noting that things could change.

Jason Miller, who had served as a senior campaign adviser to Trump, said that the former President "has made clear his goal is to win back the House and Senate for Republicans in 2022. There's nothing that's actively being planned regarding an effort outside of that."

But, Miller maintained, "it's completely up to Republican senators if this is something that becomes more serious" -- a reference to Trump's upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

Multiple Trump advisers confirmed to CNN last week that he was contemplating launching a third party, but those advisers dismissed the idea as not serious. A separate adviser noted to CNN Sunday evening that Trump has talked about creating a third party for decades.

A third party, even one headed by Trump, is a guarantee for Democrats to retain the Presidency for the foreseeable future.

I’m glad that President Trump realizes this. I want RINOs primaried out, but I don’t want to punish the Republicans by splitting the conservative vote and putting Democrats in office.

That’s the very definition of cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.

He is going to lay low and let or hope this impeachment blows over.

He can turn it to his advantage when the Rats inevitably overreach.

The GOP just colluded with Democrats to cheat out of office the best President of my lifetime.

I’m not voting for more of the same.

My opinion is screw the Republican party. They are digging their own grave. When I’m forced to vote for candidates like McCain and Romney they are no better than the democrats. I’ll decide to vote for Republicans if they deserve it.

Yes, but it may be a gambit to get the Republicans to back off.

McConnell has already softened his message. Others are calling the trial stupid.

Republicans want to get rid of Trump. Trump is showing them the price.

The Dems are going to retain the presidency anyway thanks to voter fraud.

I think President Trump is telegraphing a message to the GOP:

"You stick by me and defeat impeachment and in turn I'll stick by you next election...or you stab me in the back and I relegate you to 3rd party status by 2024."

He should postpone the Patriot Party until after 2022 and focus on taking back the House and installing a strong conservative Speaker. That would stop the Left dead in its tracks. If the GOP can’t even get that very straightforward task done, then a third party becomes a better option.

MAGA Party in both the Republican and Democrat parties

Think about it

Our ideas do appeal to moderate and “sane” democrats, and we could peel of seats under the D banner who are MAGA tough.

We use both parties

And build a large coalition

Just need to organize

And have a system in place that will get us power

It will not happen over night, heck maybe not for a decade but we can build this into something where when we get the presidency our ideas can actually get through and we can stop the bad ones that are going on

Just a thought

That type of thinking isn’t going to help us win

I really think Biden won legitimately and democrats are infiltrated us with fakes who want us to think it was stolen so we stay home like we did in GA and gave them two senate seats

Think about it

Good. The GOP just needs to purge itself of RINOs and it will be good again.
