70 Percent of Republicans Would Consider Joining Trump-Led Party, Poll Finds

By GQ Pan, The Epoch Times, February 11, 2021:

More than two-thirds of Republicans would join or consider joining a new political party if former President Donald Trump were to start one, a CBS News poll suggests.

Thirty-three percent of Republicans participating in the survey, conducted between Feb. 5 and Feb. 8, said they would join a Trump-led breakaway party.

Another 37 percent said “maybe” they would join the new party, while the remaining 30 percent said they would stay with the Republican Party.

The poll was conducted among 2,508 adults living in the United States by YouGov, a London-based online polling company, with a plus/minus 2.3 point error margin. The sample was weighted according to gender, age, race and education based on the U.S. Bureau of the Census’ American Community Survey, as well as the 2020 presidential vote and registration status.

In addition, 46 percent of respondents identified as Republicans said they believe it is “very important” for the party to remain loyal to Trump, with 27 percent saying it is “somewhat important.” Fifteen percent said the Republican loyalty to Trump is “not too important” and twelve percent said it is not important at all.

When it came to the Republican support of the second impeachment effort against Trump, 71 percent of Republicans chose the option given saying it was “disloyal” for party members to vote in favor of the former president’s impeachment or conviction, compared to 29 percent who chose the option saying it was “principled” to do so.

The poll also highlighted the hostility between Democrats and Republicans, with the latter somewhat more likely to view the former as enemies rather than political opponents. Fifty-seven percent of Republicans described Democrats as “enemies,” with the belief that their “life or entire way of life may be threatened” if their Democratic counterparts win. Forty-three percent say the Democrats are “political opposition,” that is, Republicans “just won’t get the policies they want” if Democrats win.

By contrast, 41 percent of Democrats described Republicans as enemies and 59 percent described them as political opposition.

Earlier this month, a Hill-HarrisX poll reported that 64 percent of Republican said they would either join or might join a “MAGA Party” or “Patriot Party” led by Trump. Thirty-six percent of respondents said it would be more likely for them to stay with the Republican Party.

“If Trump were to split from the GOP and create his own party, polling suggests he might well create the second largest political party in the country, knocking the GOP down to third place,” Dritan Nesho, CEO and chief pollster at HarrisX, told Hill.TV.

This is the Apocalypse.
Trump’s going to hit them so hard “their heads will spin” as Trump always says.
He knows Obama’s the Antichrist and his birth certificate is fake.
I’m going to join Trump in revealing the truth about Obamas crimes: are you joining Trump too or are you going to sit a bit longer on the fence and watch it all come down from up there!?

Nah. There will be maybe 5% defection amongst the deadwooders and globalists, at best. The “loss” will be compensated by adding Reagan and Trump demorats who have not went complete kooks. It will be a party that REPRESENTS its broad base for a change. A one lean and mean fighting machine.

What an opportunity!

Trump tried to do that within the RINO party. THEY TURNED ON HIM because he was exposing their corruption.

Now enuff are awake WE can Primary Constitutional Conservatives .
HOWEVER
No matter what without truly sincere Patriots stepping up to run it’s a no go.
Sycophant slimes by the boatload run for Demon’s and career minded chameleon Repubs say anything to get elected = both would run for a third Party in a free for all saying anything to get elected even paid planted spy’s who’s allegiance is already bought…!
Let’s kick all RINO’s out many like Romney types will simply become Democ-rat…!

Now is the right time to destroy the RINO party.

… Third parties lose …

… But a NEW second party might be able to rally the anti-Natzee, anti-Commie troops.

Not that we’re in any position to win an election again, but we can make life difficult for the China-DemoCCPRats

… rather than rolling over like a doormat.

They can’t even get the numbers correct. They claimed that 47% of the people identified as repud…so why would you ask the other if they would split off with Trump IF they aren’t repubs? Let another party form under Trump and you’ll find many more than that would follow!!!

Post election and Rasmussen cant even find 20% support for Biden ?!?
They stole the election and have built a fence around the Whitehouse and the Capital to protect themselves from America.

Is it really a prison? Are the National Guard the prospective Jailers? You know the guys who turned their backs on Bidens post inaugural mortorcade.
The military is sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution – is the Miilitary vetting the DNI report that said the foreign interference corrupted the election results?
Hmmmmm

You are, what the Dems do when they THINK they know what’s best for us without asking us, mistaken. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE, DO YA?

DEMS KNEW THAT WE ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. Why do you think they had to CHEAT with DOMINION VOTING MACHINES? THEY KNEW THEY WOULD NEVER WIN OTHERWISE.

Common sense and wisdom.

I’m in. I guarantee you a Trump led pro- America party would immediately pull in a huge number of conservative Democrats. A lot of them voted for him in both elections. Lots of Dems are finally thoroughly disgusted by the Dem Party.

Don’t think the rats are’nt aware of this groundswell of support for DJT – Why do you think they’re so insane about destroying him completely? They’re nuts anyway but this goes beyond their usual level of lunacy.

LUNACY always looks sane in the beginning until they gain power. THEN, they start making mistakes out of their stupidity to have EVERYTHING THEY WANT NOW, instead of waiting for it. THAT IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IN A NUTSHELL.

No longer will I vote “Republican”. Period. President Donald Trump – regardless of Party, YES. And there are just a few in Congress such as Matt Gaetz, YES. But we the American Party of the Constitution, the Party of the Working Class Americans – we no longer have a Party. I understand all the rhetoric about winning the House and the Senate – but this is all one sided. Vote in the Rinos and it remains “all about them” and they quickly forget about us. Fork them. They are not using their power of numbers to represent us anyway – so send them home.

I’d also be leaving the Republican party, because we have only one party, the Demorats. The government has three legislative branches and we should have two political parties, not one!
