There is no Republican Party.
You must have missed the Republican senate vote on 6 January.
Only 8 stood. The Republican Party died.
Now the Republic itself is in question.
Risk is inevitable. Doing nothing may turn fatal.
The machine exists and will kill the ballot anyway.
We have to try Something to even register an objection, as being against communism.
To win with a 3rd party, you would have to completely swamp the competition. IMO, It's cheaper just to primary the RINO's and get more tolerable candidates to vote for. The 3rd Party would have a bunch of no names people wouldn't vote for. T. Roosevelt tried this with the "Bull Moose" party. He was popular and thought he could displace the Republicans who chose Taft. Split the conservatives and brought us Woodrow Wilson, and if you know anything about Wilson, you can see what a mess a 3rd party brought to America. Believe it or not, Trump as a 3rd Party could bring us a 2nd term for Harris. If the GOP will renominate Trump, it will be a second Trump victory.
3rd Parties always sound good, but hardly ever work. It is said Ross Perot gave us Clinton. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's almost like a bunch of conservatives would be stomping their feet because they didn't get what they wanted so they just got a Dem to win to punish the country. A winning strategy IMO, is to make sure Trump gets the Rep nomination in the Rep Party. 3rd parties are suicide. The key is to primary 10-20 RINO's and make sure they back Trump.
They just colluded with Democrats to cheat out of office the best President of my lifetime.
They have repeatedly colluded with Democrats to defeat GOP Senate candidates that Mitch didn’t like in IN, MO, NV, DE, MS, AL.
I WAS there 45 years ago. My first Presidential vote was for Ronald Reagan in 1980. I was stationed at Mtn. Home AFB in Idaho at the time, and I voted out that scumbag Frank Church from the Senate that same election.
I was there when so-called 'principled' conservatives put Bill Clinton in office by voting for H. Ross Perot, because they couldn't hold their nose and vote for H.W. Bush a second time. Then they turned around and did it again and voted for Perot instead of Bob Dole.
I've seen what 'principled' voting get you. It gets you squat, and puts into power those very people you can't stand. If you expect to get 100% of what you want every time, you'll end up getting ZERO.
I'm sorry if the battle is too hard for you. Go ahead and walk away, and leave the fighting to the rest of us Patriots.
Trump brings viewership RATINGS... Biden brings nothing but disdain from the public.
I won’t be voting ever again anyway since Congress legitimized unlimited voter fraud.
45 years ago Villainous Noxious Nixon began the war on us. We fought literally - even to SCOTUS. We were served by Federal Marshals, sent to prison for the crime of fishing. We had locked loaded and manned .50 cal machine guns pointed at us by 19 year old Coast Guard kids. We were decried as “worse than child molesters” from Church pulpits, castigated in the local news papers, hounded by ABCNBCCBS, lied about and wished dead by many. Some of us were murdered, some of us lost wives, friends, family, children, sold our homes for pennies on the dollar.
Duplicitous Reagan screwed all of us natural resource harvesters - I lost a multi million dollar year job, a wife because of him. Others fared worse - they died or were killed. No love here.
You are evidently a self-styled puffy-chested guy, so please stop showing off. You sound ridiculous.
Like I said, you and many others here have no idea what is coming - if you did you would not be posting, but lurking. I’m too old and have long ago lost any fear of them or being killed by their minions.
Its young puffy-chested guys like you that they will come for first. You’ll never see them coming because you, like your ilk, will not listen to those who have fought them, but seek to put your us, your allies, down and then, stand alone on the heaps of our bodies, making a great target for them.
Its your turn yoyo; make the most of it. How hard has your “battle” been, sony? That trek to the voting booth got you winded?
Trump starting a 3rd party would pale in comparison to what the dems have planned.
What will happen long before the 2022 / 2024 elections that would guarantee dem's retaining power...not just the presidency...but the congress as well, is what they have said they want to do.
And if they are successful between now and 2022, they won't even need the massive-in-your-face-vote-fraud they got away with this last time. Although, that will always now be available to them should they need it.
They will have fundamentally transformed the structure of our government and Trump pro 3rd party or Trump pro (R) will make no difference at all.
Nixon was for gun control. Nixon was for socialistic wage and price freezes. Nixon formed the EPA. Nixon formed OSHA. Nixon is no saint in my book.
Noxious Nixon was before your time and nothing he did caused you personal grief then. Unlike the rest of us, who suffered and died.
And quite possibly be the DOMINATE party because of Donald Trump's LEADERSHIP.
That's WHY they're so fearful of TRUMP. They KNOW, after what's occurred this past election, he could very easily pull close to a Hundred-MILLION votes in a fair election.
Just think about what you are saying and look back through history and find an example of what you are saying ever working. 3rd parties are pretty common and I can't think of one of them working. They are ALWAYS "spoilers".
The GOP circa 1856-1860.
They displaced the Whig party in that time.
