Nope.
R party needs to join the whigs in hell.
Come back, we won’t hit you anymore, we love you baby. Please come back.
Sorry, it’s a classic case of an abusive relationship.
Fool me once, shame on me, fool me for the last 5 Presidential cycles, I must be an idiot. Trust me “this time”, LOL.
The GOP has been pitching this BS to conservatives for years. I am done with it. I am of the opinion that the GOP no longer wants me in the party, so I will go elsewhere. Just waiting for President Trump to signal the landing zone.
Change “coalition” to “nation” in the headline, and then we have something going.
Eff that
I have news for the author. Democrats now control the people, the process, the machines, the people who count the vote and the judiciary who won't lift a finger to expose the fraud. They won't lose another election no matter how bigly they're beaten.
Trump trolling the GOPe before the Senate trial. The swamp is nervous hence the flurry of articles like this one.
The GOP is run by the Bushes and others who have financial and blackmail control over GOP polidiots.
The GOP is far too corrupt and criminal to be saved.
When Ted Cruz said at the RNC convention to “vote your conscience” and not vote for Trump and vote for Hillary instead, I knew then the GOP was a goner. I thought maybe Trump could save the GOP, but that statement, so bold as it was, meant there was no discipline in the GOP.
This is a difficult problem.
It’s easy to say start a new party and incredibly difficult to muster the resources to mount a successful POTUS independent campaign.
My rough estimate is that Trump would need to double the Perot vote AND pull 5% from the Dem side to pull it off.
Obviously the state-by-state analysis is a lot more complex.
You either form your own party or PURGE the GOP.
Binary option.
Fox News and the GOP used the same tactics and deserve the same fate.
We need to work together with The Blue Dog Democrats and Libertarians to form a new party. Nothing gets done unless a party is in power. We need to weaken both the Democrats and Republicans. Just fighting the Republicans will strengthen the Democrats. Remember we need to be elected in enough numbers to be the Majority.
I think his points are interesting. There have been changes in some of our squishier legislative figures (Graham and Rubio, for example, have both become more conservative and supportive of Trump). In any case, I think that all of the elected representatives realize that if they don’t support Trump, they have no chance of getting elected or reelected now.
I don’t think Trump should start a new party, although one may evolve. But he needs to assert his leadership of the existing GOP and reshape it in his image. One of the reasons that the GOP has gotten to its sorry state is that conservatives really have no leader. There is no one to insist that GOPers stick to the GOP platform and principles. The Dems have party discipline; we don’t.
Also, we have a lot of people who have simply been coasting along in office way too many years. They’ve lost their fire and just want to go along to get along (with the Dems). Because of recent events, I think some of them are realizing that the Dems don’t want to get along, they want us dead. So some of our fossils are waking up...but some aren’t, and they need to go. Get out now. Go join the Dems.
Beware of those who say they have your best interest at heart
Any apparent “spine-stiffening” by a member of the current GOP is for the constituency, TV images and interviews, show boating, posturing.
I literally stopped at “The Wall Street Journal reported....”
As for me? It’s too late....I left the GOP (registered since 1988) last month! See ya!!
The GOP colluded with the Democrats to cheat him out of office.
For US to have a chance the GOP must die.
Should be a new party, a vetting party like the Tea Party was - an America First Party.
Run American First principled candidates in the Republican primaries, if they lose the primary - don’t vote for the RINO establishment candidate (skip him/her on your ballot) - that will send a message and get rid of the RINOs over the next 2 elections.
Can keep voting for back stabbers- we have been doing that and look where we are now.
F the GOP!
