More than 150 Republicans have signed on to a letter calling for people to 'reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative.' The letter, organized by former 'Anonymous' op-ed author Miles Taylor and former CIA officer Evan McMullin, mentions the ouster Wednesday of former GOP conference chair Rep. Liz Cheney. It raises the possibility of a complete break with the GOP and the creation of a third party in the face of what the signers term 'despotism.'
CYA!

I recognized quite a few of the ones pictured. This looks like a net gain for the Trump GOP and us.

Please, please, PLEASE do it!
This is one of the wonderful things about President Trump. The treasonous, poisonous, corrupt, cowardly Uniparty folks who have pretended to be Republicans for years while stabbing us in the back secretly for years identify themselves, show us who they really are. They stop pretending to be 'for the people' and that will let us get rid of them. They toss off their camo, and we can ID them. Wonderful thing.

I confess to just skimming the article and didnt red all the names, but of the ones I recognized, there wasn't a single one I respect. Most were Bush wimps or otherwise congressional surrender monkeys. I cant see where we are anything but better off without them.
The article mentions anger at Trump's "fear mongering". The communists have complained about the same thing repeatedly. I've never seen it. I felt safer and more secure under Trump than I did under any of his predecessors going back to 1960. Trump is the only one of all those who wasn't trying to get us into a world war.

How about reimagine reality? You are weak, you have no real faith and no faith in God, and you don't do well under pressure. You can't stand and hold your feet on the ground. You are run by the gods on the left. Corporate entities are your god's temples. You worship federal spending, you worship the racial divide, you worship Big Government, you worship pharmaceuticals as the savior of man. You live in the Temple of False Worship. Trump lives in the realm of Trust in God and His will be done, not man's will be done. He lives for the People not for the government. Take a stand for Righteousness or die the death of your spirituality for eternity. Repent, admit your sins to God and kneel down and pray for forgiveness of your sins against man and God.

Perfect. Many of us could have composed that list. No surprises. Just a bunch of wannabes, nobodies (Evan McMuffin), and formers.
Convenient to see them out themselves. This is clearly part of Liz Cheney’s pledge to be sure Donald J. Trump never returns to the White House. In your dreams, Lizzie...

These white RINOs will soon join their namesakes in Africa which are on the critically endangered list...they are headed for extinction. Any RINO running for president is doomed because conservative poachers, all 80 million Trump voters, will sneer and reject.

May I suggest a name for this new party? How about the Republican Can't Party. The RCP would ensure continued support for occupying seats in government without doing anything constructive.

Ooh -- 150 RINO's having a hissy fit!!!! That is sweet!!!! Please do leave and don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you!!! After the way the Republi-Can't Party stabbed President Trump in the back and stood there while the Demon-Rats stole the last election, clearly the Republican Party is no more anyway. The RINO-run Republi-Can't Party that remains is useless and spineless. They did show a little bit of guts in removing RINO Cheney from her "leadership" position, but that is far too little. Cleaning house of these 150 loser RINO's, as well as Mitt "Pierre Delecto" Romney, would be a great next step!!!!
I'm all for starting a new party, the Conservative Patriots Party, with Donald Trump as our candidate and leader!!!!

A bunch of Has Beens and Never Was Country Club "Republicans" who did less in all of their years combined than Donald Trump did in his 4 years. Trump may have been unorthodox and uncouth compared to these individuals seemingly high standards. However, can you name one major accomplishment of any one of them besides being a part of the government swamp?

The only problem with Normals leaving the national Republican party (I left the local party before the last election) is the administrative burden of incorporating, organizing and certifying a new party in today's hyper-legal systems. It's a swamp of regulations that all have serious penalties for Conservatives who violated them.
So, yes, please leave! Yes, please go do that troublesome process so we Normals don't have to.

They are so stupid to be signing against We the People, who voted for and continue to support President Donald J.Trump.
The RNC had better be noting the RINOs and kicking them out... if they want any more donations. Until then the $$ only go to open and known MAGAs. Not, NOT getting too election-excited until the machines and mail-in voting are removed.

These are the same losers who essentially told the rest of us to hold our nose and vote for McCain and Romney despite their less-than-conservative (dare I say liberal?) views and actions. We were told to suck it and deal. But that advice cuts only one way apparently.
Tell you what, folks who threaten to form a party, why don't you do this: Stop threatening to leave. Argue your points thoughtfully without disparaging Trump supporters. Try to win with better arguments and better ideas. So far you all haven't given me any reason to trust you. You haven't given me anything to believe in. You've given me bugger all. Well, I don't need a RINO for that. That's what I get from the Socialist Democrats.

I’m an independent. I’m not a Republican, but I still want to take a shower after reading this and looking at all their faces. Democrats are nuts but at least they are sincere in their beliefs. Republicans are treacherous friends who stab you in the back. Friends who pee down your back and tell your it’s raining.
I don’t need friends like that. Never did. Never will.
I’d sooner be alone with my dignity than in that Republican boat with all the rats.

More than 150 Republicans have signed on to a letter calling for people to 'reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative.'
Know who uses language like that? The lefty Democrats. They always call on the people to reimagine government or reimagine the police, etc.
These people don't need a new party. They should join the Democrats.
Bunch of backstabbers. This might actually happen. it gives the Democrats free reign to rule with no real opposition in Washington. How convenient. Of course they will all blame Trump and say the split had to happen. Watch the Republican party implode short term. Long term we will be better off without them, if we survive that long.

I'm liking this. So many of us have wanted to start another conservative party and leave the Republicans in the dust. Now, the RINOs are starting their own party, thereby cleansing the Republican party of its country club set of do-nothings. These people are all liberals. Not a one of them has ever fought for what conservatism stands for.

The operative word here is "former." I say let them go. The few names I recognized are notorious RINOs.
