Funny ol’ world . . .
I dashed off my last piece for American Greatness in a single, sleep-deprived frenzy of frustration (three decades in the making) after a long night of musical rehearsals. As I pushed “send,” I could barely remember what I’d written. Sixty seconds later, I was asleep.
To my astonishment, “The Republican Party Sucks” wound up as American Greatness’s top feature article that week. Positive comments began flooding my inbox. Thousands reposted it. Over 50,000 people read it per day. Steve Bannon called me a few days after it came out to tell me how much he liked it.
We need a new, non-corrupt party. Not a reconstituted, recycled bunch of lying thieves.
President Trump had the opportunity to create a new party, and blew it. The Republicans have lost many, just like me.
Irrecoverably.

In my 20's I naively thought the Republicans were the opposition to the increasingly communist democrats. They weren't. At best they slowed things down. At worst they were in on it. There is no political party today that gives even one hoot about freedom.

#2 it's the fiefdom that is important! I think that "term limits" is the only remedy to the corruption that is our government.

A Senator serving his/her final 6 years, because of term limits, could hurt the Country more than one serving 30 years. They can do whatever they want since they don't need to pretend anymore. They will also have a big say in who replaces them. It is you and I that keep electing these morons. Put the blame where it belongs. We can term limit anyone we want by not voting for them. I do not want to term limit Ted Cruz or Rand Paul. Term limits is the lazy mans way to oust a politician, including the good ones. Get off your butts and do it the old fashion way, get involved and then vote em out.

Spot on. We need a message--and a positive one at that. America is the last best hope for freedom in the world. We were founded on those principles. You know that old saying about, "If a child lives with criticism, he learns to dislike himself...". Well, the democrat party is criticizing a large part of the electorate, with thugs like BLM and Antifa to back them up. It's about time we remembered we have a voice, too; before we're too cowed to act.

After my service time I had to be in a party since I never voted democrat at 21 it was the republican club. I'm just fed up with the handle or label on my voting voucher "republican" after their display after Nov. 4th and follow up days. I'm now officially partyless. At over seventy I'm now wandering until something happens but I'm in favor of dumping republicans and starting a new party but I doubt that will happen. The republican brand is now tainted so why revive it let them shrivel on the vine.

I agree PDJT lost a great opportunity when he didn't move forward with starting a new party right away instead of fixing the Republican party. I was willing to suffer the consequences for as long as it took to get the conservative ship righted and I know there were many millions just like me. Now, I don't know if anyone is still interested. Re term limits for our electeds - it will never, in a million years, happen. Dream on.

Here's the solution:
1. Term Limits - yes. But wait...
2. All candidates for any party must be selected by lottery, just like you would for jury duty. This would hold true from local dog-catcher, clear up to President. The jury pool would hold a convention to select their candidates for various offices. They would settle on a party platform and run for office.
An incumbent could run for 1 additional term in office.
Frankly, I think a panhandle on the street could run most elected positions better than the entitled creeps in there now. Fire all the life-time unelected positions and have each department hire temps for their terms of office.
And I think we'll do just fine.

#2, I’m having trouble reconciling your assertion that Trump “blew it” and with him gaining 17% more votes in ‘20 than in ‘16.
How do you arrive at your assessment?

Note: my above solution would require Civics Classes going into the future as a requirement from graduating High School. All those in the jury pool better have the chance to learn what our country was founded on, and what it aspires to be - and that ain't 1619 project, which is the Jamestown (and Democrat) vision of America. We have always publicly aspired to the Plymouth Rock vision, and its successor: 1776.

#10 - Pres Trump had the opportunity to creat a new party. He blew it when he chose not too do so, and to remain a part of the Republican Party.
Personally, I am as unlikely to vote for a Republican at this point as I am for a Democrat. There are lots of people like me. He had the chance to give We The People control.. instead, he chose to allow the same Oligarchy to lead the day. He’s trying to rebuild on a failed foundation think our next generation of political representatives needs to be of the common man, not the elitist scum who tell us one thing, and then do another, and I don’t see that changing without starting over.

FTA: "One of the persistent problems here, after all, is that while rank-and-file Republican voters understand how grotesque and destructive the Democratic Party has become, not enough realize their own party’s been playing them for suckers for three decades."
There is no UNIPARTY...
