We must take over the GOP

A candidate that cannot beat the incumbent in a primary can't win

Get involved locally!

No, we GUT the GOP by taking all their America and Americans First legislators, their contacts, money, and voters. We leave them and their charter, ideology, and platform behind and enact OUR own platform to be followed or OUR candidate loses our support IMMEDIATELY according to our own rules. We make it so that we DON'T have to worry about infiltrators from other parties. We learn from the Republican's (and Blue Dog Kennedy Democrat's) mistakes. And do you REALLY think a MAGA candidate can't win, even against an Incumbent Democrat? One did against Clinton,...AND against Biden.

I agree, a lot of the GOP is ignoring us voters. Trump won that battle, they ignore it. So we are angry. Justified

Path to Winning: Primary RINOs with MAGA candidates

The key, the central flaw is good candidates. Too many turn, fold, get fat and happy once they reach DC. Crenshaw as a recent, painful example.

Third party is guaranteed loser. Its simple math. A candidate who cant win a primary, cant win the general election.

This is why there has never been a successful third party run.

IMHO I believe that President Trump has firmly changed that dynamic and his running on a "Patriot" party platform would have the effect of drawing 74+ MILLION to such a party making it exceedingly competitive. Primaries only choose the person to represent a particular party. It only affects a given party. It is the GENERAL election that counts. And ballot access for party candidates is not that onerous as evidenced by my state of NC last ballot which reflected the following choices for president.

TRUMP, DONALD J - REPUBLICAN PARTY

BIDEN, JOSEPH R - DEMOCRAT PARTY

BLANKENSHIP, DON - CONSTITUTION PARTY

HAWKINS, HOWIE - GREEN PARTY

JORGENSEN, JO - LIBERTARIAN PARTY

President Trump didn't get votes because he was a "Republican". President Trump got votes because he was Donald J. Trump. And now that he's shown all of us the way I think that a Patriot party would quickly become highly competitive AND serve to replace the Republican party as one of the top contending parties in as little as a year. President Trump has clearly proved that an American First, Anit-socialist/communist, oil/gas/energy independent, reduced regulation/red tape platform WORKS to improve the American economy for Americans. Such a Patriot party platform would also serve to ensure that there'd be no Mitch McConnellesque, John McCainesque backstabbing majority/minority/legislative leaders as they'd be confined to the planks of the Patriot party or immediately lose party support (contacts, media access, MONEY) under party rules and policies if they're correctly established. Rinos would be hard-pressed to infiltrate now as they've been completely exposed at this point. And measures could be taken within a Patriot party charter/rules/regulations to make sure that such infiltrations don't occur like they obviously have in the Republican party. I just think that the idea of a Patriot party's time has come.

Keep in mind that every single Trump voter (and yes, some Democrat voters) who switch from the Republican party to a Patriot party takes money out of Republican coffers and puts it into the Patriot party coffers. That is an irrefutable FACT!
