IF Trump started a new party, would you join?

If Trump were to create a new party, would you join?

I keep hearing how bad it would be and how it would 'split the vote' and hand the victory to the Democrats.

I disagree, because I think a majority of people would go with Trump.

There is currently about 25% of the country registered as GOP. That's about 80 million people.

If Trump formed a new party I would think nearly everyone who voted for him (over 70 million) would join. Plus some disillusioned Democrats AND some independents.

That would make the new party bigger than the old GOP. Their funding would dry up overnight.

The current GOP is not just office holders- there are huge bureaucracies of party officials. If NY GOP is any example, they seem to think they have permanent sinecures and the party funds are for them to host social gatherings.

Would he let Fauci and Birx run it and immediately shut it down?

Oh puleeeeeze! Would they like to, I don’t doubt it. But, the fact is that they simply don’t have the resources. Doing such to over 70 million, almost eighty, million people is no small feat. Especially when we won’t go like lambs to the slaughter. They know this! This is what has them so scared. Their behavior is not indicative of comfort in victory. It is the behavior of those that know they’ve done wrong. They don’t have enough money or thugs to round up an old fella like me. Go ahead all you coup plotters! Come get me! I dare ya! Hell, I double-dog dare ya! Put on some new underwear, put on your “big-boy” pants and join the party that will drive these scumbags nuts. IS THIS COUNTRY “YOURS” or “THEIRS”? Do you wish to be made a slave, or are you just going to slowly accept it? Grow a spine and get ready to defend your “liberty”.

for crying out loud! What makes you think that would EVER happen. I really don’t know your age -or- how much you’ve been paying attention. BUT! I can tell you this without the slightest bit of doubt or uncertainty. To continue attempting to achieve your wants/desires/beliefs via the gop is doomed to the same failure as it has been for my whole life since Reagan and until Trump. Both Reagan AND Trump did it “DESPITE” the gop.

let their crap-game dry up and blow away. When you create the new party, just make sure NONE of these scumbags come in and ruin it.

I recommend that you stay away from stoves. I worry that you won’t learn the whole lesson about burning your hand the easy way. Apparently, you have some other more complicated way. It’s really very simple.

Fine! We can count you out! We don’t need or want you. We are over seventy million. We don’t sit around whining, sniveling, fretting, begging... Do us a big favor, go join the other side AND don’t come back!

What will make this new party different from the GOP?

So you see no difference in what Trump stood for and the GOP? Really? I never thought you could be this obdurate.

The GOP stood for most of the right things when they were campaigning. They missed the whole Trade policy / H1B issue, until Trump came along.

Sadly, there was a difference between their actions and deeds.

What I’m saying is that the Patriot party will likely do the same exact thing, say one thing to get elected, do something else once in office. Unless you can clearly identify the difference and the difference in how they will be governed. Trump won’t do that, but we will have lower level opportunists flocking to the new party hoping to ride Trump’s coattails, and they’ll turn out to be PINO’s once in office.

What are you going to do different? How are you going to keep them out? How are you going to throw them out once identified? And how is that different than what you can do now in the GOP?

You can’t answer the question can you? And if you can’t, then you have no business splitting the party. You’ll just end up with two parties full of ?inos. And you want even know it, because they won’t win often enough to tell their true colors.
