And, in my opinion, anything that starts to regain the momentum in a return to Constitutional governance HAS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED under the brand name 'Republican'.

'Republican' is just a PLACEHOLDER for the people who occupy that party. Just like the Democrat party of today bears NO resemblance to the Democrat party of even the mid 1990's... the Republican Party IS THE WAY to accomplish effective political change in this country.

People like to talk about Trump playing 4D chess or such. Aside from the fact that ALL chess is 4D (time being the 4th dimension), Chess has no third player option.

The MOST successful third party in the last century was Ross Perot. And what was GAINED by it?

Wrong question. What was LOST is the correct question. GHWB lost to Clinton who gained ONLY 43% of the popular vote. Had Perot never entered that race, Bill Clinton would be the answer to a trivia question at a Pizza joint on Tuesday nights. Hillary Clinton would have never been a player at all.

Do a third party now and you will get an even WORSE result as the next Democrat Presidential candidate will be far left of Clinton.

Focus your energy on SHAPING and FORMING the Republican Party into more Gaetz's, Cruz's and even Paul's.

If the left can hijack the Democrat Party and make it socialist then WE can hijack the Republican Party and make it Constitutionalist.

The voting problem needs to be addressed for sure.

But I voted. My family voted. If nothing ELSE we made the crooks work a little harder. I am willing to continue to vote because NOT VOTING is STUPID.

The Constitution does not NEED Trump. There are others. Trump's ship has now sailed. He did a lot of good. But ANYONE who stands up for the Constitution as an originalist is a GOOD GUY.

Voting for a third party is not voting at all.

There is no 2022. If you believe there is one, and are planning for it. You're naive.

GOP is rotten to the core and the establishment lives through a two party system. I'll lose with a new political party I can trust than give establishment some more power

GPO is not rotten to the core. There are some good people. Look at the House members who objected yesterday. Are they rotten to the core?

And, this IS politics. NOBODY gets total control. If you are looking for .999 purity then politics is not the thing for you.

I'll let cucks like you debate "the lesser of two evils" and crawl back to a party that doesn't even care enough about you to even assure you that this last election was fair.

The answer THERE is to work with the Republican State Legislatures of GA, PA, and others to REFORM voting laws.

This was a shit-show of an election. Rub these State Legislature's noses in it and if they do not fix it - primary the shit out of them.

But... a third party WILL BE A DISASTER.

none of that will happen. You don't seem to get it. It's their game. They do what they want. Not what you want. If you have the numbers and they don't like it, they will create the numbers so that you lose. There.....is.....no......2022.

I think we can wait two more weeks before focusing on 2022 and beyond.

I agree with you about the future of the GOP. President Trump has shown Republicans how to win, yet the establishment types have yet to truly embrace it. They’ve sought to exploit President Trump’s popularity to get re-elected only to backstab him once he’s served his purpose to them.

The republican party -- after the betrayal yesteday -- cannot be reformed. Trump will build a new party for true patriots. Stay tuned! Trust in the plan.
