Not the heavyweights you'd need. They need a Trump-like leader or they are going nowhere. | |||

It's a start. Might reduce the costs ever so slightly for "bigger" fish to join. May not work, of course. The history of 3rd parties in the US is pretty dismal. But the more the GOP surrenders to the cult at the state and local level, the greater the incentive for principled people at the top to dissociate from the crazies who run the party apparatus. If you look at what state parties are doing, I'm pretty confident that there are people who will not be able to stomach being in the same room with the toady candidates that these parties put forward in 2022. From my adopted state, imagine being in the same room with guys like Steve Pearce swearing undying fealty to Trump. God Bless President Donald J Trump I have conservative friends who touted him as a reasonable guy, once upon a time before he (and the whole party apparatus) drank the Kool Aid. I laughed because I've always thought the guy was an asshat. But I could forgive a difference of opinion about land use policy because, well, it was a normal difference of opinion. We're well beyond that now. | |||
