Wonder if he’d be interested in heading a new party. I’ve concluded that the GOP is hopeless-still establishment and controlled by “experts” who foolishly believe that if we also put people into victim groups and pander to them they will vote GOP.
We need a new party based on ideas, principled conservative ideas, not pandering. I firmly believe that someone like West as a figurehead of a new party could start a snowball-effect of defections from the GOP. Or not(maybe I’m delusional)
Oh good grief, there are already plenty of 3rd party's that are going nowhere - why would Col West start yet another? Stop with silly fantasies, West isn't going to start some dopey 3rd party.

Well go join the Constitution Party, or the Libertarian Party, or even our own EternalVigilance's America's Party. There are plenty of 3rd party's and none of them are going to amount to squat in a system that so heavily favors 2 competing party's.
And West didn't lose from vote fraud, he lost because his district was changed and became more Democrat than it was before. If Col West runs in a Republican district in Florida as soon as one opens up, I am sure he will win. It was predictable that West would have trouble winning the district he is currently in.
Conservatives need to stop the whining and flailing over idiotic things like new party's or blaming our election loss on fraud. Do Democrats cheap where possible? Sure. Is that why this election cycle was such a disappointment? No. We lost because the country is more dependent than ever. There are more and more takers, for ever maker. We are marching towards becoming European social welfare state - if we aren't that already. We are far enough down this road that it is now probably nearly impossible to reverse until the whole house of cards falls.
