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

Posted on 01/25/2021 2:32:18 PM PST by Hojczyk

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.

Since you just turned on the insults switch against other members

It is because of mind numbed, limp brained people like yourself that we were doomed. Your not smart enough to think outside the box and think ahead.

I said before the election that this election was going to consist of massive fraud. And Trump stood a good chance of loosing. I made it known that the time to act was before the election, and not after. Then people like you showed up and condemned what I was saying. And here we are. We lost due to mass cheating because of people like you who suppressed any sensible input or action.

And here you are already to jump right back on the exact same track. Do the exact same thing. And once again come to your exact same doom. Playing by the same set of losing rules. Only this time there won’t enough left in 4 years to fix anything.

And there are actually a fair number of people here who think the election was fair. No significant cheating. And I am not impressed.

Boo hoo Republican. Boo freaking hoo. Squirt me a couple will ya.

If Trump is convicted in Nancy's show trial the I hope the GOP dies quickly.

What I see on this thread is a lot of emotion but very little logic and reason. I'm a Conservative, Leftists react emotionally. I refuse to join them.

>That’s the best example possible. That’s exactly what splitting the right of center into 2 parties would do until one of them died. And whichever one died would absorb the other side’s, so in the end nothing would change except for a long time of completely silenced right.

That will take time, something we no longer have. Damage is being done right now, and will continue to be done. We won’t be picking up any unhinged commie-crats before during or after this great split so....

It will be a three way uneven split, but they won’t loose anybody. They will be the ones to head committees and most likely to maintain majority in both houses to steer agenda and vendettas like the garbage we see today.

I’d like to think that a new party will get us heading in the right direction, and it likely will if it can be pulled off, but we’re screwed in the right here and now. Your long time of completely silenced right is correct. Time we don’t have, but I repeat myself.

If it requires allowing the Democrats to win until we get the Republican Establishment destroyed, so be it...<<

Cant happen!....the democrat establishment would spend millions to elect a minority of “Loyal Opposition Republicans”

Otherwise it would look like a dictatorship if EVERYONE voted democrat!

The RP and it’s Democrat Moderate members didn’t lift a finger to defend Trump.

Exactly. They will let just enough true conservatives have a voice but will make sure they never gain the real power in the party.

Ultimately we vote for policy and not party. The GOP is a globalist party hell bent on de industrializing and selling out the USA. It will NEVER change.

A MAGA party would be nationalist and pro worker. You are so full of it....

Here’s the thing. Reforming the existing party is much easier, but we have been trying unsuccessfully for 12 years now. First the tea party got coopted by the party. Then the Trump disruption got the full force of the political class. At what point do we consider a different strategy?

I am good with trying, but we are a couple steps from having to walk.

I’ve always thought such was a stupid idea.

But never moreso than this time.

We are in a very dangerous situation. The mask tyrants and BLM tyrants are closing in and cutting off air as they got all their Dems elected in power. I have never, ever been so scared that this is the end, this is the turning point to communist state.

There is no time to mess with alternate parties.

It takes too much time to build up. It’ll never work.

What do you do? For God’s sake, you communicate with the RINOs and so forth and express your displeasure! If you are lucky enough to have any Rs to complain to.

If true, this why both parties will vote to convict Trump.

Impeaching a man who no longer has the position the action removes him from is pure idiocy. Anyone - Dem OR Rep - who is dumb enough to convict deserves to be mocked and primaried. If the real intent is to prevent another POTUS run, then that only makes Trump a stronger kingmaker! He doesn't need to run again and nobody would blame him for not wanting to go through even worse persecution than he endured the first time. He will have far greater influence to groom the next non-Democrat candidate as well as down ticket races. The RINOs better fear him - and us!

Unfortunately whatever influence he may have it sure didn’t help in the past 100 days or four years for that matter

You can’t trust the GOP bastards either way
