Rush estimates that if you polled the right leaning, conservative voting base in this country, that 95% of them would back Trump, and only 5% would back the inside the beltway establishment crowd. Yet, these 5% right now are trying to dictate the future of the Republican Party instead of the 95%. The 5% are telling the 95% to sit down, shut up, and get in line.

Why is that the case? Why isn't it the other way around? This is why we need a 3rd party. The 5% is going to rig it to ensure their 5% bloc stays in control of the party.

In a multi party system, the center left/left win the most. The right wing never wins. The two party system is the right wings best shot at having more power as much as it sucks.

The GOP needs to burn, and every official who didn’t stand up to election fraud needs to be hung.

Why is that the case?
Because we allowed it to be by voting in the same people

Why isn't it the other way around?
See above.

The problem is that the voting base appears to be 95/5 but the politicians appear to be 5/95. Try voting out the GOPe politicians and you’ll end up replacing them with fresh faces who will see the profitability of playing the “loyal opposition” role and fall into place at the trough.

Trump didn’t need or want the money that he could gain from going along to get along. Where are we ever going to find enough candidates that fit that description?

I don't understand under what metric
Trump is a conservative Republican.
He never had respect for other peoples money (taxpayers)
He just pardoned Bannon for .....the same thing
Trump just ran off with $300m from his supporters to STOP THE STEAL!. He spent next to none of it....Trump is a conservative sham...period

Trump was almost the right guy but the only guy to stand up to the leftist bullshite.

We need a strong leader that is smoother but it doesn’t matter.

Leftists will call anyone Hitler.

So frick it. Let’s do this.

Because they are afraid of the Dems and the media, always have been. If they don't toe the line, they are called nasty names.

And I won’t be voting for that 5%

I would love nothing more than to see every incumbent get voted out. I’m done toeing the line for incumbents that don’t have a spine

Hmm, I don’t recall Bannon being convicted of this. We still innocent until proven guilty these days on charges like that?

Stand up in your area and organize.

You don't need a new party. If you have 95% of the party, It's YOUR party.

Mitch had to beg for another chance when Trump took office. These people can be primaried!

Because they are paid by the same people paying the dems off.

It’s a big scam. They are pissed that someone had the balls to try to end their game.

The right's biggest problem is their unexamined tendency to want a "strong man" to take care of them.
