Opinion | KevinMKruse: As long as former President Trump controls the GOP, we won't have a third party. - MSNBCDaily

, winning 13 percent of the popular vote and 46 electoral votes. If Wallace had won just 1 percent more of the vote in two states, he would have thrown the presidential race to the House of Representatives.

Perot did, however, have another kind of impact, one more common for third-party campaigns — placing a new issue into the national conversation. With Perot, it was his concern with the growing national deficit, which he helped make a major political issue in the 1990s and 2000s for Republicans and Democrats alike. But that was it.

KevinMKruse Daily Wake up! There already is a third party. It's the GQP. Whatcha gonna do GOP? Balls in your court. We Dems are gonna sit this one out and be constantly entertained by the chaos; while we turn red to blue. LOL!

KevinMKruse Daily Let him continue to mess up the republicans party 😂😂😂something he actually good at

KevinMKruse Daily Poor, poor republicans. Washed now

KevinMKruse Daily The fact that you don’t understand how dead the old GOP is and that a new one was formed over the last 4 years says a lot about your opinions.

KevinMKruse Daily Trump lost the Senate, Congress and WH while being the Republican guy. Why would anyone stick with a loser? I mean, as a Democrat, that's fine by me. The GOP is just a mindless cult as proved by CPAC.

KevinMKruse Daily No of course. He's the one creating the 3rd party.

KevinMKruse Daily The third party will not come from the witless part of the GOP that can stomach Trump. It will come from the intelligent part of the GOP that can't.

KevinMKruse Daily isn't it trump that wants a third party?

KevinMKruse Daily Well they have a donkey and an elephant so now they need a clown like Trump for a third party!

KevinMKruse Daily aoc4president2024

KevinMKruse Daily Are you kidding me, Trump is the top man for the GOP, the Republican party is going to hell

KevinMKruse Daily Why was Trump banned?

KevinMKruse Daily The Ten Commandments: “You shall not make for yourself an idol”. Republicans: We are the Party of Christianity. Noted.

KevinMKruse Daily As long as he controls the media, and you continue to feed his ego, we are stuck with the monster.

KevinMKruse Daily I’ll now set a little brain teaser, Who is this old non people pleaser, He lies through his ass, Women does harass, A modern day Julius Sleazar.

KevinMKruse Daily He's got everything he wants in the GOP.

KevinMKruse Daily Right because the Republican Party no longer exists

KevinMKruse Daily And we won't after that either.

KevinMKruse Daily Just one and a half parties!

KevinMKruse Daily A third party won't work without ranked voting.

KevinMKruse Daily We had a third party? I thought we just counted them as no votes🤔🤷‍♂️

KevinMKruse Daily How about a third party for the left, you know... the people who support policies a majority of Americans support

KevinMKruse Daily Trump is a third party. It just too bad the GOP won't kick him out of theirs.

KevinMKruse Daily If this is what the GOP wants ...I’m out!

KevinMKruse Daily The problem is that, none of those called trumpet can see who that man is really after. Their are blinded by something which is difficult to comprehend. Trump is all about himself and his survival, don't give a damned about no one. The man himself knows that he is cornered.

KevinMKruse Daily Make democracy safe for independent candidates, voters, and ideas. Make independent and 3rd party candidates and voters non-threatening to the two big parties. 🗳 Instant runoff voting 🗳 ranked choice voting 🗳

KevinMKruse Daily Maybe thats because many thirdPartyEfforts have aimed to create a mediocreThirdParty . Another party needs to take from another party’s base . It is time to startANewPoliticalPartyToReplaceTheRepublicanParty . theDiplomaticParty thirdPartyInTheUS replaceTheRepublicanParty

KevinMKruse Daily However, has a political party ever been so devoid of value as the GOP is today?

KevinMKruse Daily Why would someone want to be a member of a party which is in favor of overthrowing our democracy? That party needs to weakened to the point it has no power.

KevinMKruse Daily Trump thinks he is the first to try it, he won't be the last but it NEVER WORKS! Good luck bud!

KevinMKruse Daily Funny how when a regular person that doesn't have a blue check uses the phrase 'don't hold your breath' or 'hold your breath' it results in a Twitter suspension. Yes, I just got off suspension for THAT. *eyeroll*

KevinMKruse Daily

KevinMKruse Daily Trump is only making money from this. He has no intention of sharing what he raises. Serve the right if he bankrupts the party.

KevinMKruse Daily This is a detriment to the nation.

KevinMKruse Daily MSNBC is all for a 3rd Party in America... ... as long as it's right wing and suppresses working peop.

KevinMKruse Daily This is sad

KevinMKruse Daily it's been announced, the party will be called 'Make America Grovel and Groan Over Trump', or MAGGOT party. it's going to be great. the best. only the best. it's going to be bigly great.

KevinMKruse Daily Maybe we don't need a third party. Maybe we just need to get rid of Trump and his influence.

KevinMKruse Daily Because they think he believes as they do they are easily led. That is the same thing former VP Pence believed until he was no longer useful. The x-president reminds me of Putin he cannot afford to have friends so he kills everything he touches. WAKE UP!!

KevinMKruse Daily The two party system is a disaster due to partisan politics! Going back to Newt Gingrich! For generations those in Congress have more than proven that they are unable to really solve anything on behalf of citizens WE NEED NATIONAL REFERENDUM VOTING! Let the people decide!

KevinMKruse Daily Oh... It's because of trump that there will be a third party. Tea Party 2.0 New and improved. With patented 4d chess!

KevinMKruse Daily We don’t have a GOP either.

KevinMKruse Daily As long as the former President controls the GOP, the GOP is useless!

KevinMKruse Daily CIA is real sabotage of.3rd party INDEPENDENT

KevinMKruse Daily I live in Arkansas and our case numbers are a 10th of what they were, why because Republicans are wearing masks now. That is a huge turn against Trump and it's happening across the country. It's the first domino and the rest will fall.

KevinMKruse Daily 74.4 Million people who voted for the former guy sounds like enough to start a pretty formidable third party...! Do it...!

KevinMKruse Daily Crazy talk, fascism! Please explain why, with today's technology, we cannot secure a populace vote without insane/inane recounts? E. college not democratic, very flawed. Populace need to set American Policy-Drives-Profit. Wall/K St. cronyism belongs to 'We The People'.

KevinMKruse Daily So it's just one traditional party and fascists then, huh?

KevinMKruse Daily Unfortunately!

KevinMKruse Daily During Kavanaugh's confirmation, Trump said ' the Senate should confirm him quickly because the American people forgets about anything in a few weeks.' He appears to be right in that no one's talks about Trump being compromised in his business interests by the Russians or how he

KevinMKruse Daily It could be as easy as not letting a white supremacy cult control the whole the whole country.

KevinMKruse Daily Or as long as Bernie keeps running as a democrat

KevinMKruse Daily Nonsensical! The idea is third party NOT GOP. Let the Trumpistas retain, own, and wallow in GOP brand. It has very low value these days. Form the christian CGOS = Christian qGet Outa Shit party and start over. Maybe even Conservative CGOS.

KevinMKruse Daily We need a third party. The two main parties control the vote. You have to vote for a candidate from one of the two main parties or you'll hear 'wasted vote' BS. Then there are the people who think I have to vote based on the issues that are important to them, not my issues.

KevinMKruse Daily

KevinMKruse Daily As long as the repugnican party is shaking in their boots because of a bully. You'll will go down with the ship.

KevinMKruse Daily GOPTraitors GOPDomesticTerrorists GOPCowards GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPComplicitTraitors MAGATerrorists MAGAIsACult MAGACowards MAGATraitors

KevinMKruse Daily Trumps gonna come back and wake up bunch of Congress people up

KevinMKruse Daily Yea because trump has been the reason for no real 3rd party candidate since 1912.......... idk how he did that before he was alive? My point is both sides make sure there is no chance for a 3rd party and the media like are complicit.

KevinMKruse Daily Trump tossed around the idea of 'The Patriot Party'. I can see the altright going there. Fascism, cloaked and draped in the U.S. flag.

KevinMKruse Daily You don't have a gop party either. You're split. Enjoy trump.

KevinMKruse Daily I've wondered why you don't have a multi party system.

KevinMKruse Daily I disagree again! Here is an American BELIEF of 'has to be' No. Here - is enough potential and leadership-capable lighthouse personalities to kick-start a center-right party. It's a lesson about the power of 'let loose' ...to connect netter.✌

KevinMKruse Daily

KevinMKruse Daily I think this article is wrong A lot of people are looking for some place to go and being that 65% of people think of themselves as Independents there will be another Party The next election will show this. People don't want a dictatorship like our xpresident

KevinMKruse Daily Independents or a third party could control everything even in the minority. Look at manchin

KevinMKruse Daily Actually, more pointedly, as long as Trump controls the GOP, we will not even have a functioning & effective SECOND party.

KevinMKruse Daily all the liberal GOP are gonna turn into independents & moderate & conservative TheDemocrats. sounds like a plan.

KevinMKruse Daily He can’t even control his twitter account. Just plowing his way through with the help of other Republican desperatos.

KevinMKruse Daily As long as Trump controls the GOP we won't have a fair country and we'll be at each other's necks.

KevinMKruse Daily Trump will control the GOP as long as the GOP lacks any leadership. McConnell and McCarthy are not leaders. McCarthy is committed to supporting Trump and McConnell is just plain incompetent and really doesn't do anything except to obstruct.

KevinMKruse Daily Pretty sure they’ll split, which would be amazing!

KevinMKruse Daily There is no dumber suggestion on earth than that of forming a third party.

KevinMKruse Daily FK ALL CORPORATISTS

KevinMKruse Daily Please let Lindsey Graham have his way. He will give the Democrats at least 10 years of power.

KevinMKruse Daily Well, the Democrats are now destined to win all levels of elections for many many years to come thanks to incredibly bad management by the failed Republican party. Amazing how they self-destructed.

KevinMKruse Daily BIG TRUTH. DEM AND GOP always see THIRD PARTY as a threat.

KevinMKruse Daily Maybe time for independent voters to step up. I am independent and listen to my neighbors. Just a thought...

KevinMKruse Daily Don't be silly. Using media to label and divide opponents is CCP's trick. Who was CCP's most hated enemy? Trump. In years, they tried so hard to ugly Trump to divide the United States and now use trumplism to divide GOP. I believe soon it'll be DNC’s turn.

KevinMKruse Daily And as long as the leftist dem libs are agents of the evil one the social, moral, and spiritual breakdown of society will continue

KevinMKruse Daily And as long as Joe Biden is president, we won't have a country.

KevinMKruse Daily We already have one broken party, we don't need another.

KevinMKruse Daily As long as corporations are willing to ignore how Republican politicians reacted to his losing the election and the aftermath of January 6th, and how Republican voted on the second impeachment, we won't have a third party or the GOP as a legitimate political party.

KevinMKruse Daily Muốn làm bạn với một người con gái riêng tư, tôn tym6ni trọng tự do cá nhân Không níu kéo, ràng buộc

KevinMKruse Daily There are several other parties. They just don’t have a following significant enough. Libertarians are probably the largest and most consistent third party group.

KevinMKruse Daily Everyone gets how old Donald is, right? He would run again in four years to start a new four year term? Talk about cult mentality. 🙄

KevinMKruse Daily A shallow dive into local county GOP groups and groups like TrueTXProject show that they think current GOP leadership isn’t “conservative” enough. Can you imagine calling Greg Abbott a RINO?

KevinMKruse Daily What's 45's new party called...The Insanity Defense?

KevinMKruse Daily We need a whole new party in my opinion, a party that has younger and brighter reps and that party holds the country at the top rather then there own gains and will fight for the people and the government but they also don't choose the rich over the poor, or one state over all

KevinMKruse Daily The GOP will finally wake up and realise they are being screwed by Trump for his own personal agenda, they are cannibalising themselves but will sober up when they realise the consequences

KevinMKruse Daily I believe that it really comes down to this when all is said and done: Voters who voice their hatred for the Federal government should no longer be allowed to participate in elections within the United States. That would alleviate a lot of the disingenuous hypocrisy.

KevinMKruse Daily White is missing from picture but blue n red very much together

KevinMKruse Daily There are many things we won’t have as long as trump controls anything.
