We need a 3rd party

True Republicans must create a new party based on morality, truth, conservative beliefs and the Senate / Congress must be saved by the new order The True Republicans of America. Truth, Morality, and Intelligent and good behavior towards their fellow representatives and all people

GOP needs to take a YUGE Dump and get rid of 100 turds.

I wish there weren’t any political “parties” and that people would run for office based on things they truly personally believed in and not what they think a “party” believes in.

Yes and it's called the WIDBIOT party. ('When in doubt blame it on Trump' party)

The neo-con faction. 4 years of no new wars during Trumps term had them kicking.

Just 100?

GOOD!

Trumplicans attacked the capital to kill lawmakers. They risked prison time. A threat won't cut it. They must break from the party and form a new conservative non-racist working class party.

I think that is a great idea! They should totally create that 3rd party ASAP

Git her done already!! LMFAO

Do it 😃

Sounds like an occult to me

The American Party

Third parties traditionally have not done well in American politics. Look at the example of Ross Perot. If these 100 Republicans could show themselves to be the true GOP and the tRUmplicans the third party, they might stand a chance. Otherwise, no.

Haha ok bye!

Wow, they signed a letter? Well, now they mean business. Once you sign a letter of intent there's no going back. Just ask any high school athlete. Wait, what?

Well Bye

See Ya!!

Do they believe in legalizing pot? That's all I care about.

That’s called terrorism. Why aren’t they in handcuffs? So if Republicans don’t get their way they threaten. Makes you think what happens behind closed doors.

Good luck with that. See how well it goes going against all the rules you set up against third parties.

The worst is yet to come for the GOP as Donald (t)rump continues tear at their collective political flesh. -The Republican Party has reached a point of no return. A very, very dark & traitorous abyss. NeverForgetJanuary6th GQPDomesticTerrorists

DO IT

Unless they're in the current Congress, I don't care.

Go RepLizCheney

Wake me when Republicans actually do something with their conscious instead of threatening to do something with it.

That is the only way to save the Republican Party

Enough talk. Do it.

The Dems will need this to win when Biden’s done

need to get rid of all the parties and just have actual representatives of the people

This the 'Never Trump-ers' rebranding.

100? Sign and post the list please

The cannibalism. I love it.

Aw man, that would totally suck. Like that would make it so much easier for America to progress. We can’t have that. Somebody stop those dems to own the libs quick!

Run run...the American democracy and the nation itself is at stake...! Never has a sitting president ever stirred far right nest like Trump, creating communal tensions and desecrating capitol Hill with abandone! They want the state to be subservient to a mere political party!
