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.

The Trump people have said they have nothing to do with this Patriot group.

People would still vote for Republicans for any race not opposed by the Patriot party.

You argument sounds like we should always vote RINO.

Let’s follow the President, par excellence, George Washington’s example on political parties. Time for a real reset.

Worked out just great the last time...

Isn't it easier to just send Liz Cheney and Mitch McConnell to GITMO?

If all the Republicans, has one person on here said (or 92%) leave to another party, how is the new party going to be any different? By attracting more democrats like I’ve seen in this goofy thread?

The fact is that the Republican Party is not a viable entity without Trump supporters. About forty five Republican senators have about a week to fully comprehend that political reality. Four or five of them are beyond redemption.

They’re gutless, career politicians who don’t want to risk their gravy train. It’s that simple.

Wrongo ace. The Patriot Party would be huge and the GOPe would be the splinter rump state party.

If the Patriot Party (MAGA) is formed and is on the ballot will you vote for them or stick with the GOP?

There is no GOP. There is no DNC. There is Socialist/Communist.

We need the Patriot party. No better time than now to regroup. We already have lost both houses and the the Presidency and if that doesn’t turn around through some miracle, keeping the same snakes in power will only prolong the reset our country needs. We’re in a fight for the survival of the Republic and at a crossroads. Take your stand.

Not shocking to me.

This is one reason why they want to put him in prison.

To: alternatives?

“one person can be both the Republican and Patriot party nominee.”

So a candidate’s name would appear twice on the same ballot? Interesting.

I say primary NeverTrumpers and reform the GOP into a MAGA party.

The most formidable third party challenge by Ross Perot back in 1992 took 19%, mostly from otherwise Republican voters.
This left Bush 41 with 38% and enabled Slick Willie Clinton to win with just 43%.

Hopefully, PDJT will hold rallies for his MAGA candidates and flip both houses of Congress, paving the way for his triumphant return to the WH in 2024!!!

So all the Republicans go to this new party. There’s nowhere else for them to come from. What exactly would change? Except for absolute permanent conservative minority status.

Folks, we have been trying to change the RP for what, 50
years, and some of you STILL think you can do it, even
though the guy that was the epitome of what we wanted,
was just kicked out of office?

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

For heaven’s sake, think to yourself.

This is the pivotal question.

What would it take for you to realize the Republican Party
has used you just like the Democrats have used Blacks and
other minorities?

Be honest with yourself.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL NEVER EVER CHANGE.

The majority of them think we are terrorists.

You do realize that right?

Do it. A way for the real conservatives to still have some kind of a voice in the USSA. Overnight they would be larger than gop and the gop deserves no support from conservatives. Who cares about past politics and norms. Nothing is the way ot was and it would further out the rinos in media and government. I think it is great and is really the only way to give real conservatives a voice in this banana country. Ignore the naysayers, they will get on board eventually. Do something radical or join the dustbin of history. Really tough with the judges and state systems that would do everything possible to prevent it but I relish seeing rinos go down and squirm.
