America has a Three Party platforms now, it just hasn't acknowledge it yet.

America has a Three Major Party platforms now, it just hasn't acknowledge it yet.

Democratic Party, Republican Party and Trump Party.

The Trump Party is causing our current debt spending obligations and we all know it.

Its going to take some of the Republicans that are anti-trump party to cross over to us to side to a deal. Perhaps Biden may get McCarthy to agree to some concessions, but who knows.... trumpers are unreasonable, unconsiderate, deplorable wackos.

Would not surprise me that a Republican runs against Trump as an Independent to ensure he does not win.... especially after the CNN town hall. Perhaps Cheney....

Whatever the case... we are in a Third Party government.... its just hasnt been formally acknowledged....

for a Republican like Cheney to run as an independent. That would do it. 👍

I think they were already the beginnings of Chump's Party even before Chump declared his candidacy.

the three parties are Republican(Trump), Independent, and Democratic. Most of the old Guard has long since migrated to independents, without going full Democrat. DeSantis is a Trump Republican who simply believes he'd be a better Trump.
