I, for one, switched from "No Party" to "Republican Party" prior to the November fiasco. I am a Trump supporter and continue to be one even after all the hell brought down on him by the DemocRats. In my opinion, the majority of Republicans in Washington, both Representatives and Senators, have no balls! At least not like the DemocRats.
The Republicans allow things that usually come back to haunt us. Even when they controlled the house, the senate & the presidency they didn't address important things like the Big Tech companies running rampant, etc. They are only concerned about getting re-elected and getting richer.
So let's say a new MAGA party or Patriot Party would be created...would you join?
I am ready!

I would never join a party that would have me as a member.

I would likely side with many of the ideas of that party but splitting the GOP would be a total disaster.

TOTAL DISASTER


Better to reform the GOP by electing actual conservatives who aren’t afraid to fight in the place of the GOPe politicians. Just clean the party, don’t kill it.

No. We need to take back the GOP instead of waving a white flag and handing it over like a bunch of pussies

Maybe, I want to hear their plan for stopping voter fraud because none of that party's candidates are winning any national elections unless they do.

I have no illusions that parties are some magic elixir that will cure our ills. They are just a vehicle to organize political direction.

I would most likely stay independent and choose the one that best reflects the direction I agree with.

If that hasn’t happened by now, it never will.

Lol good luck with that. This most recent episode is a great reminder that when shite hits the fan, most Washington politicians are concerned about themselves and their power first and foremost.

Wrong

The GOP would rush to center-left and at least 60M Trump voters would join the Patriot Party.

Election reform is paramount for me, and certainly anyone who wants to support it I support them.

I honestly don’t care about being an official member of a party. I’m loyal to my conservative views, not to a particular party. If another viable party emerges that best represents me and my views, I wouldn’t hesitate to vote for candidates from that party. That said, a split from the Republican Party could be very bad for any chances we do have in big elections.

Almost impossible.

How would you feel if a portion of the democrats split off into a new party and had any measurable membership?

Pretty happy that it would be easier for Republicans to win more elections, right?

Think about that.

The trump party only ensures democrats win every election going forward.

You may as well vote blue.

If there is third party you might as well get used to the idea of living in a single party state. The republicans or patriots will never win any elections of consequence. Those of you who who are enamored with that prospect should move to Israel. The do coalition governments.

Think about this stuff! It is better to choose candidates with those positions in the Republican party. In ten years most of those fossils like Mitch McConnell will be gone.
