re: WSJ breaking: trump considering starting new party, the "patriot party"

if he does it will pretty much guarantee further dem control

it'll pretty much be the republican party without anybody saying "hey wait a second..."

Trump needs to do this and he needs to get Lion Ted on board since the Lion was his star pupil and now out performs him.

I think you pair Lion Ted as president with an outsider VP like a Dave Portnoy. You get the trump swagger with both, you get some political seasoning with Cruz who has also learned the ropes under Trump and Portnoy brings outsider business knowledge. He is a voice against pc bull shite and now has skins on the wall as doing more to help people during a pandemic than the stupid us gov

That's not a bad idea. The problem this creates is it divides the conservative base between republicans and the patriot party which will make it easier for the democrats to win every election. We'll have to do something to pull in moderates and minorities. Especially Latinos and blacks who vote democrat but have very little in common with them.

I agree it will give the dems more seats but some pain is going to be needed to fix the US. The republicans can’t win without a trump like figure. If Mitch the bitch actually cared about winning and the country he would hand over the reigns to all that rode the trump coattails into office. The only chance the right has is the trump base.

A trump lead patriot party could likely hold onto the Latinos and other minorities with the right messaging. It’s a long slog to beat hand outs and the fake news media. It will require a ground game that is unrelenting and willing to go into areas most republicans would never go to actually show they care about those voices.

Hopefully the left loses control of their extreme wing and it breaks off. If we go into 4 parties we will be a lot better off as a country.

I agree,

I think it will be easier to recruit a lot of the new house members that won because they aligned with trump. He also needs to keep people like Candace Owens and Kim Klaccick on his side.

You get a big fish like Cruz and it could be game on. Hopefully someone sees that being a prop for the dems to beat up isn’t the way and that if you fight for the people you can win.

The hurdle is going to be the fake news media. They will lie cheat and steal. The only way to beat them is a insane ground game. The rallies were great but we need those in the inner cities and minority community. It would be great to see some of the new party working with a Vernon Jones who we flipped from D to R. Any like him that come over, we need to support with money and real community projects and work that gets results. It has to be tangible and personable so the media can’t lie. The dem media would shite it’s self if a trump now that he has time or another young republican was to volunteer time to youth in minority communities.

Imagine trump making large donations of suites to inner city teens, taking some from failing high schools and getting them into private schools, things of that nature. It takes years to foster but it could be huge.

My guy is straight up Teddy Roosevelt without all the socialism.

The only thing that Roosevelt’s third party run did was elect Woodrow Wilson. Nothing more.

Possible but if the dems who promises radical change get cold feet just like Obama the left wing might break away. They have gotten more violent and demanding.

Something like that will take a lot of work and consistent effort. Not sure Trump has it him to do much beside nuke the GOP in certain states.

Hate it cause it just ensures a democratic victory. The path of least resistance is to transform the Republican Party.

The RINOS will rejoice since 72% of Republicans want the Party to be more like Trump. Better to form as the MAGA wing of the GOP along with the Tea Party so the RINOS can be purged.
