Once consolidated and without competition, the Dem party would never split and you would get your CCP-like one-party rule, like you've always wanted.I
Looks like marginalized elitists are left out in the cold and the voting base put them there.For those who thought they would never care about who was the third most important House Republican, Liz Cheney's expected ouster from her leadership position has inspired 100 former Republican leaders drop a letter tomorrow (Thursday 5/13) saying if their party does not separate itself from the former president, they will form a third party:
The Whigs Collapsed Over Slavery. Could the GOP Over Trump?
‘Rationals’ vs. ‘radicals’: Anti-Trump Republicans threaten third party
"The letter, headlined: 'A Call For American Renewal,' is an exploratory move toward forming a breakaway party, two of its organizers said.
"The group is dismayed by what it says is a modern Republican Party driven by its allegiance to Trump, who continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him..."
"A spokesman for Trump, Jason Miller, said: 'These losers left the Republican Party when they voted for Joe Biden.'
"Evan McMullin, a former chief policy director for the House Republican Conference and an independent presidential candidate in 2016, said if the Republican Party does not reject lies and extremism, part of it 'will have no choice but to part ways with it and build something new. We’re excited about that prospect.'"
Imho, if four years of Biden has the same effect on Democrats as Trump has had on Republicans, the US may finally get rid of its two-party political monopoly.
They should just join the Democrats.
I agree traditional Republicans should just switch to the Democratic Party. That would shift the Democrats radically towards the center.
Let the Trumpbots have the Republican Party.
Then in the general election the American people can make the GOP obsolete.
Maybe in a few years the Democratic Party can divide, and we'll be back to where we started - minus the Trumpbot idiots!
I hope the American people are smarter than that.
Without the traditional Republicans, the GOP is sunk in the general elections.
Sure, there'd be one party rule, but that would be an extremely diverse, internally divided one party.
Right now, traditional Republicans are looking awfully popular with Democrats and independents.
People like Liz Cheney would win the generals hands down if they'd run as Democrats.
