“A third party is suicide...”

---

No, it’s NOT. People need to get off the pesimism. A recent poll shows that a new Trump Party would immediately pull:

64%(!) of republicans
28% of independents
15%(!) of democrats

Add it up, and it’s as large as the republican party right now. Before Trump actually asks anyone to join it. When Trump actually says “It’s ON! Come join us in the new party!” it will pull another 15% of all.

It would immediately be the biggest party in America, and send republicans back to the stone age with a tiny minority of RINOs. Dem party would be at least 15% smaller.

It’s the way to go!!!!

FAIL! National elections are decided by swing states and the math never works for a third party.

RATS start with 50% since they always vote in lock step.
A Trump party that has less than 50% will always lose. And don’t blow smoke up everyone’s posterior and claim that the 5-10% of the current GOP that are NeverTrumpers, GOPE, and rhinos, will join together in the general to vote for the third party in the general.
