If he does, I will be among its first members.
I no longer care about the argument about siphoning votes from the establishment Republicans and thus allowing the Dems to win everything.
Frankly, the Democrats have perfected stealing elections, so Republicans are going to have a very hard time going forward anyway. Does anyone in their right mind think there will be another Bush-like Republican President in the White House again?
For decades we have been told we must stick with the Republicans—Republicans like Senator Mitch McConnell and my own Governor and Never-Trumper Larry Hogan (who was the chairman of the National Governors Association)?
We have been told until I want to throw up to stick with the Rs and change the party from within.
No more!
I want to work within a party I feel passionate about.
So I am definitely cheering for the creation of a Patriot Party (or whatever it might be called).
Not that I needed to hear McConnell’s speech to make up my mind, but it surely was the last straw.
Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the mob was fed lies and “provoked” by President Trump and other people in a blistering speech on the Senate floor.
Here is the Wall Street Journal on the possibility of a new party:
Trump Has Discussed Starting a New Political Party
President Trump has talked in recent days with associates about forming a new political party, according to people familiar with the matter, an effort to exert continued influence after he leaves the White House.
Mr. Trump discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week, the people said. The president said he would want to call the new party the “Patriot Party,” the people said.
Mr. Trump has feuded in recent days with several Republican leaders including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), who on Tuesday said Mr. Trump deserved blame for provoking the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Polls show Mr. Trump retains strong support among rank-and-file GOP voters.
[….]
Third parties have typically failed to draw enough support to play a major role in national elections. Any effort to start a new party would likely face intense opposition from Republican party officials, who would chafe at the thought of Mr. Trump peeling off support from GOP candidates. [That is what they always say to keep us in line.—ed]
“Chafe!” They would be raging because frankly the Trump base (which he expanded!) is the base of the Republican Party.
A Trump-led party will kill the Republican Party and I am ready for that! Are you?
Here is the Leftwing HuffPo on the subject:
Trump Reportedly Considers Exacting Revenge On Republicans By Forming His Own Party
And, they are so happy to quote Republican Neocon Bill Kristol on Twitter:
“The president said he would want to call the new party the ‘Patriot Party.’”
Truly the last refuge of the scoundrel. https://t.co/4h70MqwlHg

Fight Back! And have fun!
The next time you get a fund raising letter from the RNC, or any Republican fundraising campaign for a candidate who turned on us, use the prepaid envelope and drop in one of these.
But, don’t ask to be removed from their list, just do it every time they send you an appeal for money. Add a note if you feel inspired.
P.S. Visit my Facebook page for RRW and see the hundreds of comments backing My Pillow Guy and the effort by the Cancel Culture to destroy his business. Backfiring just as AOC’s attack on Goya Foods backfired.
Let’s do it! For Pete’s sake, let’s do SOMETHING!
The problem with a third party is getting 270 electoral votes. That is if we will still have an electoral college.
That is always the excuse. No reason we can’t eventually completely kill off the Republican Party. This isn’t going to happen overnight.
I will join any party that President Trump forms…he can call it anything he likes.
As for the people of Kentucky, if you vote for the China owned traitor Mitch again, you deserve what you get.
Unfortunately….it harms the rest of us also.
If President Trump doesn’t form a new party….I’m registering as Independent. The Republican party will never get another dime from me.
I suspect that I won’t be the only only one.
I’ll be registering as an independent too if a new party doesn’t form within the coming month or so.
Many of us Kentuckians have been fed up with Mitch for years, but not able to find someone strong enough (with big bucks, alas), to win against him and many feel voting for any Republican opponent to McCon will water the candidates down. But seems we’re screwed anyway, so WE NEED TO DO IT. We’re so pissed that doing that (or joining a legit, newly-launched “decent” party) is the way to go forward.
Correct. That’s my plan….damn the torpedos. :0)
I’m all for a new political party emphasizing the MAGA theme and giving power back to the voters.
Why is there not a link to share on MeWe?
Because I am tech- impaired and my hosting company doesn’t have it ready made, as it does for the ones that have been around for awhile. I have to get a webmaster type person to do it for me.
Lol! I’ll do it the old fashioned way! Good commentary!
Definitely need new party. Repubs are engaged in criminal acts and some are compromised by info the Dems have on them, perhaps Jeff Sessions, Roberts, etc. The fraud voting started in NV with Harry Reid as he was head of gaming control board and learned much from the mob and was in with them. We saw a change in the voting dramatically. In Harry’s last run for senate, I voted in person and pushed his opponent’s name clearly and Harry’s name lit up as my choice. I called over a poll worker and she said, “Oh, it is just a glitch in the system. If you push it again it will revert.” This is why the fraud voting has expanded and no one can understand it. Harry is still pulling strings even though he is allegedly dying from pancreatic cancer. He personally picked and backed all legislature, governor positions and these elected officials bragged in the paper about it.
He can’t go soon enough for me.
You are aware he’s been grooming his son to ultimately get into Congress?
