That was just stated by Steve Bannon. He's right.

When I think of third party, I think of Ross Perot. Or Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party, which put progressive Woodrow Wilson in the White House.

The ticket seems to be to take over the Republican Party and primary/kick out the RINOs. Then rename and re-brand the party.

The more I think about it, the more sense it makes to go that route.

How many of the 80 million followers are lifelong Republicans who held their nose and voted for him even though they didn't like him too much? There are many that vote Republican, no matter who it is, just because that's what they have always done. That's why people like McConnell get re-elected over and over again.

Yeah, so, what's the point. My point is that the GOP hasn't been worthy of our vote for a very long time. Not saying there aren't worthy GOP leaders out there. We can all name a few. When Trump forms the Patriot Party they ought to jump ship. A few presidential cycles of Patriot win and the GOP will be history. Punish them for what they did is the only way forward and I sincerely hope Trump takes it.

We all need to stand together. Stand ready for when Trump issues a call to action in the formation of the party. I'll even get involved in my state. But I envision top down action with bottom up coming along more slowly. Kill the GOP at the top. Trump and his family are the only ones that the deplorable will rally around. If he opts out, we're all sunk. There is no one else.
