A major theme among conservatives over the past few weeks is that “Donald Trump should start a new party” – the American Conservative party, the American Patriot party, or something similar.
The impulse behind this is understandable, considering the collapse of the GOP in the face of open electoral fraud and the Capitol false-flag operation, in which we learned that it’s okay for a cop to shoot an unarmed white woman if she’s a Trump supporter (snip)But despite all this, a new party would still be a mistake. (snip) It would split the conservative movement at the time it most needs unity.

It seems our republican officials have turned their backs on the conservatives in the U.S. This is what is happening NOW. I went to the election office the other day in my county. I was told that so MANY republicans are now changing to independent. What was shocking is that MANY registered republicans are requesting to be taken off the voter rolls all together because they said they will never vote again. This is the real america. Our elected officials and the courts did nothing to investigate or challenge the voter fraud. They all rolled over and told the rest of us that there was nothing to see here or just accept the voter fraud and move on. We have been betrayed by many.
Then they turn on us because of the protest at the Capital. I was there. There were bus loads of Antifa, BLM that was creating a huge majority of the problems. This was an inside job. Someone in the Capital is responsible for all this rioting. Doors were held open for people to come in by the Capital police, etc. I remember every elected republican that I know could not run fast enough to a microphone to condemn the peaceful protesters at the Capital that day. Everyone of them mixed us in with the true rioters. They could not wait to see what really happened or listen to us who were there, they just condemned us all. Then the real slap in face were the five senators that voted for impeachment of our president, claiming he called for the riot.
The bottomline, the democrats will stop at nothing to get what they want and the republicans will not fight to protect what is right.

Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy have neither said nor done anything of consequence in response to Biden Administration actions that have killed jobs, undermined national security, and brought immigration enforcement to a complete halt. Failure is not a threat. We are failing right now.

We knew this was coming. Continue to support our spineless lack of leadership or you will lose. What have we endured so far? How many senators and representatives actively supported President Trump? Not mine. How many wanted to roll over and accept the stolen election? Pretty much all of them. Just keep those donor bucks coming and we'll keep raising taxes, starting wars and limiting freedom. You really have no choice because we have an R.

I think a new party is essential to the survival of America as a Democratic Republic. The GOP leader in the Senate is compromised by America's number one enemy (at least Swalwell didn't marry his Chinese Spy honeypot ). The house leadership is not much better, McCarthy blamed Trump for the riot. How in the world can we EVER trust these people again. There are 75 million Patriots and we are a potent political force, if only we utilize it. I believe many in the Senate and House will work with us.

Nothing will change until each and every state has honest elections. Work at the state level for election reform to ensure election security, no same day registration. registration must be in person, no early voting, no mail in ballots, voter identification required to vote, clean up registration rolls, elections machines and software must be designed and manufactured and meet ISO 9000 standards, secure ballots before and after elections, must be a chain documentation of all ballots and observers must be allowed.

I really don’t know what we should do. In 2016 we gave them the WH, the House, the Senate and all the GOP did with it was to p-ss it away. Had they backed Trump coming out of the chocks we would still have a country. The left has elevated election stealing to an art form - we likely will never see another Republican President in my lifetime, if ever.

I tend to disagree with this article.. It is time to let the Republican Party go. Steel ourselves to drop the notions that have led us to this terrible pass. One of those notions is that the enemy you know is better than the enemy you don't know. We need people we can trust, period, and immediately. All of the political leadership in D.C. now, with a few rare exceptions, are untrustworthy and we must reject them all. That means, both parties are sunk. And the American people must be the ones to sink them. It has been done before, so take heart. We must be as strong as our ancestors have been, on many occasions, or the game is over.

You want us to wait for the Durham Report to make our decision?

Ted Cruz was flapping his gums the other day on Fox about how he and the other republicans were going to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT what the other side was doing. Disgusting. If they had been doing their jobs FOR YEARS we wouldn't be in this position. They all make me sick. Heck yeah, let's start another party. Can't be any worse than the one we have. BTW, don't I remember Ted Cruz at the border with Glenn Beck handing out soccer balls and teddy bears to all the little children trying to get in our country? How did that work out, Ted.

I am tired of the tripe about not starting a third party. We have heard it for a 100 years of failure of the Republican Party, who is always going to change next election, but never does. I have lived a life of this broken promise. First, no one thinks a 3rd party is going to take over everything, and it does not need to. What it does is establish a party that can elect leaders that are not McConnell, McCarthy, or Liz Cheney. You will never get anything but establishment leaders in Congress without a 3rd party. The Republican establishment controls the Congressional leadership, has done so for hundreds of years, and good luck changing it. The 3rd party does not have to displace Republicans in the states. The 3rd party can ensure a conservative is the presidential nominee, or yes, the Democrats will win, but they will win anyway with a RINO, so you can take your total government control and communism slowly with the RINO, or faster with emergency edicts from the Democrat.

The ONLY way the GOP can survive as a viable party is for a thorough purge of current leadership. McConnell? Gone. McCarthy? Gone. Cornyn? Gone. Cheney and all her ilk? Gone.
Otherwise, the party is over. We won’t continue to vote for failed fools.

A few sensible points in the article but otherwise whining about the inevitable collapse and irrelevance of the GOP in the future.The last great president the GOP had was Ronald Reagan BUT even he was hamstrung by the GOP by being forced to have George Bush as his running mate. NO the GOP is dead and done. Does not bode well for a bright future in the near term but it beats supporting a LIE.

They can do what they want. I will never again vote Republican, if I vote at all. And I don’t think I’m alone.

If we stick with the current Republican Party then we’ll get failure anyway, so what difference will it make to try a third party? I’m in.

Why should Trump start an opposition party when he already has the majority support of the Pube party? Keep reforming what is there, let the squishy Pubes find their own home--it won't be very large. Third parties are DOA and have been for a hundred years.

I'm old if we don't start a new party where I can hang my hat I'm not voting in anymore elections. Let the Republicans become the spoiler RINO party and die on the vine. In 2016 instead of backing the President they pulled away starting with Paul Ryan giving the House away. The Republicans could have become a powerhouse but threw it away. In the end they all abandon President Trump now the likes of Ted Cruz say "fight fight fight". My question what are you going to fight with? The Republicans won't win elections as long a there's Dominion voting machines in states. The Republicans and RINOs should just cross the aisle and stay there they are almost there now. Washington is now entirely crooked including the SCOTUS.

Destroying the Republican party kills half of the Uniparty. Win-win. The professed futility of a third party is past history. 75 million voters and honest elections are a sure thing for whoever opposes the dirty dems.

We might as well call such a new party: the LARP Party---Live Action Role Play---because that's all it could ever be. The current two party system exists the way it always has for the simple reason that it gets the Uniparty EXACTLY what it wants. Each side can blame the other for lack of progress in attention to the desires and needs of The People. They roll along, line their pockets, get on TV as show business for ugly people, and generally have a great, wealthy carefree life. They laugh at, or in the case of Commiecrats, disdain the Serfs.

A bit of sanity on the subject. Now, who is willing to actually do something? If you can't get off the keyboards and actually participate in your local party, what are you going to do forming a third party?
Yesterday there was an interesting discussion this exact thing...and it is possible to create this thrid party, if done right. And that includes absorbing a large number of "traditional" Democrats who have sworn to never vote Republican, and cannot abide the current Democrat party, either. What will this third party do to bring them into the fold? TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! won't get them in your tent.
What would Nigel Farage do?

Oh goody. Another to add to the unreadable fool list. Why are you so afraid of change JR, huh? 75 million voters got disenfranchised by this fraud, and that doesn't bother you? A fraud as president doesn't bother you? But disenfranchised voters tired of not being listened to forming a new party behind Trump scares the stuffings out of you, and it should. We intend to make cucks like you JR the minority in time for 2024. We shall see who gets the last laugh. Hint: it won't be you and your Vichy bunch of craven cowards.

Sticking with Republicans is a guaranteed failure. Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different outcome is a sign of insanity.
NO. No more Republicans. I'm not insane and I'm not playing that game any more. DONE.
