Who said it had to even be a party as we know them. Every person running republican is vetted by the patriots and takes a constitutional oath in front of their potential constituents. If they pass, everyone votes for them that can so scum sucking rhino and warmonger repubs get pinched out. If they sell out, we recall their asses immediately. It's that easy.
I agree with this. But a lot of people -- I will even admit myself, occasionally, once maybe -- have voted a straight R ticket out of spite for D's. In and of itself that isn't a bad thing, but when Rinos lurk it can be. But the same could be said for a new party as well.
One thing I can suggest (maybe incorrectly) in favor of a new party over strict vetting of candidates to the old party is that building something new brings with it a creative energy that a "remodeling" simply does not. The idea of MAGA flies in the face of that by its very definition, but I would argue it felt new in a way that merely voting for a vetted Republican would not have.
We should not form a new party. There is no way a new party could replace the Whigs. We can't compete, but must reform the Whig party!
