Shock poll: Trump 'Patriot Party' would win almost quarter of voters, drop GOP to third place
Just the News ^ | January 25,2021 | By Daniel Wattenberg

A Trump third party could provoke a pivotal realignment in American politics. With the support of 46% of registered voters in the new poll, Democrats would reap the benefits of a fractured opposition and entrench themselves as the nation's dominant party — even without majority support.

Among "very conservative" voters — who make up a disproportionately large bloc within the Republican primary electorate — a Trump Patriot Party crushes the GOP 55%-24%.

Should Trump remain in the GOP, his wide lead among these highly motivated voters affords him great leverage to influence the direction of the party by wielding the threat of conservative primary challenges against establishment Republicans ill at ease with the former president's combative brew of conservatism infused with populism and nationalism.

So....we give up? I’m 74, so I’m old. But I have 11 grandchildren, and I care about what I leave behind.

It’s the libs vs us, and we have to stand up and fight with what weapons we have. and if that’s the GOP, so be it.

That will buy us third place in every election. And, if the break out party won a seat, there would be no chance of committee authority.

Bingo. A united front with an agreed upon agenda, approach and candidates. Fix the problem...don’t create a faction that will always win the bonze medal.

No the real question is how many democrats and independents voted for Trump.

Also, the leadership would be Patriot. Right now, the Gope has a solid lock on the Repub leadership.

That each of the parties would get around 25% and the dems 50%? Yeah, big shock.

That is *positive* progress not shock simpleton.

Most voters deserve it good and hard; generations have rode the Federal debt gravy train for decades, time for an implosion and start over.

25% is a good start (Of course people can actually start to think and grow that positive 25% from actully pain from the policies of the 50% but you would rather do the insane thing while hoping for a different result from the collectivists/globalist (R's). So thus, you are insane if you think the republican party will change anything.

The GOP sides with Democrats against us time and time again.
We need something new.

That may be true. The question about a civil war may no longer be if but when

I say we take our chances with a new party.

We’ve tried it the old way for 40 years, it’s not working.

Call it a hail Mary, cuzz it is one.

I suspect many in the GOP are actually democrats doing just that. They are voting against the conservatives so we end up with democrat lite.

Because a new party wouldn't change vote fraud, it wouldn't change judges intimidated by leftist violence and the press wouldn't suddenly become real journalists.

Just think about it, why would we keep supporting Republicans when they can’t fight the impeachment and just go along with something that is unconstitutional. They’re not showing any effort to change.

Sounds like you;re quitter. If nothing can change, just give up.

If we elected patriots like Trump, things would change.

That’s the problem right there

Get a majority in the gop party and change the name to the Patriot Party

Then the PPers can come on over

Didn’t the republican party used to be the Whig party?

By the time Biden and Harris are through, we’ll be at 3/4.
