Please do. It’ll be good for Democrats, and moderate Republicans will reap what they sowed.

[Stockdale for Veep]

Trump will finish what Nixon started.

Abolishing the Electoral College !!!!

But will "Hitler lover" Pat Buchanan beat him out for the nomination?

[CookieDamage]

Please yes. PLEASE.

I wholeheartedly endorse this. Not for political reasons, but because it’s about time we have a party that stands up to the swamp and the corrupt two party system. Trump was a true patriot, and we must create a party based off of his patriot principles. I endorse this party on every top ballot/down ballot ticket, let’s drain the swamp.

This will be good, since red states will have little choice but to adopt RCV/IRV or get shut out forever, and we may have it in all 50 states by the end of the 20s.

[Crumpets]

Not the "America First" Party?

If it takes over the entire right wing, so be it. Either we get a legitimately moderate Republican Party or the remaining elected moderate Republicans will have to explicitly choose between Democrats and enabling Trump without getting to play it both ways.

[Illiniwek]

Do it you won’t.

This * 10. I think he could seriously do it too.

The biggest obstacles though are going to be that he will be under indictment within months if not weeks, and probably incarcerated by 2024, or at minimum out on bond pending interminable Appeals Even most of his Fanatics will think twice about supporting him when he's pulling only around 7% when they have new and improved versions of  neo-nazis to vote for. And of course, he'll likely die within the next decade, and any cult support for him simply won't transmit to Don Jr or Ivanka - - both of whom of course also stand a better than even chance of doing hard time in the next few years.

First, the GOP kissed the feet of their Orange Nutjob Deity.
... Now he plans on destroying them.
No tears here.

[John Dule]

Please God, you know I don't ask you for much.

End of the GOP if this happens and is successful

[DrScholl]

Trumpism might end up being a factor like Peronism has been in Argentina, but not in perpetuity. This new party would win a few seats in the most conservative places but would probably mostly play spoiler in competitive races.

[Rand]

Please do. It’ll be good for Democrats, and moderate Republicans will reap what they sowed.

Did...did you just say what I think you said?

[Chips]

Very bad for the GOP if true. I don't feel that bad tho, They've needed to do some soul searching for a while.

[Ron DeSantis enthusiast]

It will be a disaster, Trump is done, zero fear.

[Brittain33]

His people have destroyed the word “patriot” so they may as well.

[DrScholl]

The presidential maps probably would look similar to what has been posted, but the really interesting thing would be the House. If you had a split that was something like 215 Democratic, 210 GOP and 10 Patriot Party then the GOP would either have to decide upon a compromise Speaker with Democrats or agree to Patriot Party members in the top leadership positions just to organize the House.

I hope he does. It will kick the crazies out of the GOP.

This could be like the Republican equivilant of the Dixiecrat revolt.

Except the Dixiecrats didn't disappear. They joined and eventually took over the GOP. Obviously nothing similar is going to happen here.

[Alben Barkley]

I think this is the map by the way, give or take Kansas and Nebraska/NE-01. Maybe Indiana if it’s Pence:



The beauty of this is it’s a win/win: Either this scares Republicans into definitely convicting him and barring him from holding office, or that happens.

[PSOL]

This won’t happen, it won’t be real!

Surely someone will take him out before he does such a thing, right?!
