No. Absolute quickest way to ensure a loss.

If Deep State Republicans wanted that wouldn't that happen anyway?
They just wouldn't show up to vote ..which would im turn basically be giving the Demobitches another 4 years.

Apparently you are not familier with Ross Perot. Can I finish? Can I finish?

Do you think they'll ever truly understand that the GOP'ers they claim are trying to sabotage Trump are people HE got into position?

I think they know that Trump is their only choice.

He is, he is an independent Republican. Nice try, but we all know one can't win without a R or a D.

You do understand that Trump controls the RNC, right? I mean it's like you guys just don't grasp how politics works at all. Trump IS the Republican Party. He has the votes and the power. About the only Republican with significant power in the Party who isn't on his side is McConnell. Trump owns the RNC Chair, the Speaker, much of the Senate and House, and most of the infrastructure.



They never know how to respond to this.


That's because the moment they do they have to realize that Trump owns most of the problems we have. He had the power as President and he has remained the most powerful figure in the Party. No one else is close to him since 2016. Every lever of the party has his fingerprints on it. Does he have total control? No, but he certainly has more power than anyone else. The power play to get Ronna re-elected and around the Speaker dramas all trace back to him. He has shown he can make or destroy people because of his base of loyal support.

Yet his supporters act as if he is the "outsider" and all the bad things aren't his fault. It takes so much "don't believe your lying eyes" it boggles my mind. It's just like how some of the most fervent Trump supporters rail about Covid lockdowns and the vax and Fauci. They simply can't connect those dots because they don't want to face the truth.

I actually think Trump might be different in this regard but he would need to be on all 50 ballots

Impossible. Ballot rules are written so its difficult to even get on the ballot in each state. Rules vary by state but not possible with a year runway. We are in a simulation and who's on the ballot is controlled.

He would lose by a hundred miles. He needs the party apparatus.

I get a feeling there are constituents for more than two parties anyway. Republicans, democrats and something else. And then there are the 30 million illegals out there ready to vote.

Who will be his consistent cadre of legislators in the HOR and Senate if he goes this route?

Too many people will vote Republican no matter what. It’s a terrible idea. You wouldn’t have politicians supporting you either since you aren’t republican.

For fun though, I’d vote for a Trump-Kennedy ticket in a heartbeat.
