Thousands of Republicans leave party over its treatment of Trump: 'The way they turned their backs kind of got me really upset'

 Via Billy 

 

In the week following the riot, 4,600 GOP voters in Colorado, 6,000 in North Carolina and 10,000 in Pennsylvania switched parties, according to NPR.

A Colorado Public Radio News analysis found that many Republicans said they left their party because they felt the GOP betrayed former President Donald Trump.

  1. I renewed my license the other day. Wife asked when I got home if I registered to vote at the same time. I said of course. I went republican as usual. She said she went independent. ;(

    1. Well, bless her heart but I'm sure you can straighten her out at least in regards to Trump. :)

    2. Oh she is a Trumper for sure. I think she is just a bit jaded atm. I don't blame her really. She said she would never vote again. She registered so I'll take that as a sign.

  2. Well ... NPR
    OTOH, the Republican party is now (mostly) at the same place the moderate Democrats were 50 years ago (Daniel Moynihan)
    President Trump wants to form a "Patriot Party," personally I'd prefer to call it the Conservative party dedicated to the United States of America and dedicated to upholding our Constitution

      Interesting and probably so.

    2. The Republicans are way behind in attracting graft. Just give them some time and they will look just like the Democrats.

  3. In my state you have to be registered with the party to participate in primaries...I already let all of them know I plan to vote against them in the primaries.

  4. I left the GOP because of their years of barely living up to the 'lesser evil' of the two Parties.
    The treatment of Palin told me I made the right choice.
    Their kissing of Obama's butt confirmed my choice.
    The treatment of DJT further confirms it.
    They keep living down to my expectations.
    I want at least a candidate, even better a Party, that is of, by, and for The People and for restoring our Constitutional Republic.
    This should not be too much to ask for.

      Unfortunately not when filthy lucre is involved.

    2. It would seem the Republican Party would center its identity and philosophy around "the guarantee of a republican form of government and that the United States SHALL protect the States against invasion" ( Article IV, Section 4) . The "republican form of government" is codified in an objective reading of the WORDING of the Constitution to constrain the government to its delegated powers and protect ALL of the Bill of Rights for everyone...special rights and privileges for no one! --Ron W

    4. Once I was talking to one of the orthopaedic surgeons for whom I worked about the Bill of Rights and said something similar. He replied, "well, it depends on how you interpret them." I replied, "by the rules of English grammar, you know, like you should master by Jr. High." Normally a verbose fellow, he was stumped. Would that judges could read and comprehend like that. --Ron W

    5. Other than Reagan and then Trump, I never voted for a Republican or Democrat for President. They are all globalists and leftists. I usually voted for the Constitution Party or the Libertarian Party candidate. I did the same in Senate elections and for Govdrnor unless a Constitutional conservative ran as a Republican. --Ron W

    1. I hope not but if he ever does I hope he falls off the stairs and lands face first on the tarmac.
