By you, I know that, but you posted it yesterday. I posted it per today’s date from Townhall.com. Perhaps you should have waited.

We don’t have a SECOND party.

That said, to my mind it makes more sense to use the existing infrastructures against Deep State by finding and running MAGA candidates in BOTH R and D primaries.

Why fight half a battle?

"Without a third party, then, for me, and millions like me, there will be no party. I am through with the republicans."

Did you read the entire article?

If you did, and this is what you come away with, then endless Bidens is what you will get.

I don't have to be in love with the reality to accept it.
We CAN turn the GOP around - look at the four years we had of Trump. Sure, the RINO'S fought him tooth and nail, but he scored some YUGE hits against them.

This is not the time to let up.

It’s not my fault if he can’t spell his name right.

“This is a repost of Kurt Schlichter’s poo poo on third party panicking.”
*********************************************************
I think Schlichter is wearying of the USEFUL IDIOTS and LowIQ’ers running around hysterically shrieking “3rd Party, 3rd Party, Don’t Vote, Don’t Vote”. They’re as dumb as those gullible enough to be herded like SHEEP by ANTIFA into the Capital Building on January 6th.

Yes, I read that he is not forming a new party. It was just an idea he had.

You are correct, it's time to move from that malarkey

“I have heard ZERO from the GOP and fixing themselves. They don’t even admit they have a problem.”

You’re implying the GOP doesn’t care? On Jan. 6 the vote to certify the election was held to determine the future of America. At that moment the RNC was having a glitzy retreat for top donors at the Ritz on Amelia Island. And you think they don’t realize they need to be fixed? (/s/ of course.)

The arrogance of this article. It is incumbent upon The Stupid Party to detail what it intends to do to fix itself.

We do not have to endure the sissies forever. Those sissies are actually Democrats, not Republicans. This is the entire issue.

This is man is every bit as arrogant as the Democrats.

The GOP doesn’t have a problem, YOU have a problem. Your standards are too high.

Trump set the bar. He was actually effective at representing conservatives and upholding the rule of law. That’s not actually a very high bar, and the GOP couldn’t get over it.

What’s the GOP’s plan, given there is never going to be a legitimate election every again as long as the D’s have the magic box?

First Rule of Holes, GOP: Stop digging!

I didn’t post that article, but you replied to the exact same article app 15 mins before you posted this, which is exact same thing. Is it because you object to a 3rd party and enjoy the argument, or did you forget?

I usually enjoy Schlichter, but in this article he sounds like a battered wife with a black eye pleading with the cop through her tears, telling him what a good man her husband is, and that he didn't mean it, and that he's really good with the kids, and it was an accident...

In principle, I agree with him in regards to the formation of third parties. The problem is that right now, I'm not certain there is second party.

"That’s kind of what I’m thinking. If you can’t beat them, join them. This most recent Republican failure was a big one. Historic even."

And almost exactly this has happened twice before...successfully resulting in a "third party" replacing a current "dominant party". First...the Democrats displace the Federalists. Second...the Republicans displace the Whigs.

Kurt needs to read deeper into history!

Why do you state “3rd party”?

Surely using evidenced based logic, there really is only one party at present.

There are a lot of democrats who aren’t thrilled with the demon party. I was a democrat years ago and left them for the republicans. But I’m not happy with the republicans either. So a third party might actually gut both parties if it advocates the position DJT advocated, that is, more local control and less federal control.

After all, there were a lot of democrats who voted for DJT too.

Without a way to fix vote counting, neither option works.

Can you name a third party candidate that was elected to office? No you can’t. It’s a ridiculous idea,

How many Americans only vote GOP because of the 2A? Plenty and the GOP has all but blackmailed them into voting for them by keeping this issue on the table. What will those voters do when the issue is permanently removed from the table? Are they going to appeal to our desire to give millionaires bigger tax cuts? It’s a bold strategy Cotton.

Rand Paul’s impeachment proxy vote the other day was a litmus test of how many fakes must be purged from the GOP - about 10%. That seems very doable.


Hardly. That was a fake CYA vote. A classic beltway theater performance. Don’t be duped. The real vote was 93-7 to certify the stolen election.
