Bad idea. Take over the GOPe. The olds are aging out. Take the established machinery over.

Recipe for conservative disaster. Split the GOP in two and give them ten years to let the dust settle. Meanwhile the bad guys run it all.
Trump is too old to be the torch bearer for the next ten years. It will take a transformational figure you may not even know about yet.

R and D are one party. If he went libertarian or outside of them indy do you think they would change in holding the DC power and the purse strings?

the DC critters have extreme power of oversight and they sit on their hands because they are in on getting Trump.

Because a 3rd party will never exist. Though if Trump did it back in 2016 he could have had enough votes to get fed $$$ and we would be headed to a 3 party system.

Too late now

The problem is the system only supports politicians being bought and corrupted. There is nothing that is pushing the average person running for office to do the right thing. They will eventually fall in line with the powers behind the scenes.

Perot and Trump are billionaires that don’t necessarily care about the money. That is the difference.

The Bush family, the Clinton family, the Obama family, and the Biden family are career government families that became super rich by corruption in government.

Step 1. Win the election in November.

Step 2. Implement changes.

Step 3. America is great again.

Gotta take care of step one before anything else.

Because MAGA has taken over the party.
is that why Gaetz had to work with Democrats to get Mccarthy out? And we got a guy like Mike Johnson for speaker, who enacted zero of the MAGA agenda?

Trump announced his candidacy months before he was indicted, so your argument makes no sense.

No it's taking over the GOP in places like Missouri where the rino chairman was put out. It's the RNC where maga now has control and will write the platform. It's local(like school boards) and state levels.

But you do you. Think what you want. We continue to move forward.

I don't know... I kind of like the notion of ridding the GOP of all the uniparty neocon establishment RINOs that the America First movement has initiated.
