THINK ...THIRD PARTY? TEMPTING ISN'T IT.....

The intrigue: Musk had already gone after House Republicans for nearly unanimously approving the bill, but it was unclear if he was going to leverage his fortune or his huge platform against them.

Then, Musk posted a tweet that will likely send a chill down the spines of Republican operatives, who were thrilled about the big tent coalition they assembled in 2024 with Musk's help.
"Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?"

Then he followed up in an apparent signal to Republicans deciding whether to back him or the president: "Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years."

The US Constitution prevents him from running for President.
Think America would elect a man who has Musk as his puppetmaster?

Doesn't America already elect a moderate most often for President?
Biden was seen as more moderate than Trump. Trump was more of a moderate populist than career Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The last semi successful presidential alternatives were Ross Perot and John Anderson. Neither received any electoral votes.

It’s pretty silly to be talking about a third party that competes for Republican votes when the Democrat party is a dumpster fire with full blown communists on one side and old liberal/progressives on the other side who no longer have any sway.

Other than the worthless moderates who have no future in the party, I’d say Republicans are very united right now. The Republican party is finally chalking up huge wins and the never-Trumpers have been left out. People like Liz Cheney can only hope for a seat at CNN or MSNBC.

OOH WHEN TIMES R GOOD,GREATNESS IS GOADED .........THE R'S WILL TURN INTO A SNARLING PACK OF WOLVES WHEN THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS START TO IMPACT THEIR STANDING IN THE PEOPLES EYES......LOOK DOWN THE ROAD INTO THE FUTURE.........IT IS AMUSING THE LACK OF
FORWARD THINKING.....WAIT AND WATCH

THAT IS THE MOST MYOPIC QUOTE I HAVE EVER SEEN.....THE CONSTITUTION IS BEING CRUSHED AND U THINK IT WILL PREVENT MUSK.....MY DEAR FRIEND, THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE HAS BECOME OBSOLETE IN THE EYES OF MANY WHO R NOW RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT.......THE FOURTH TURNING IS NOW HERE AND WILL UP END EVERYTHING....

The US Constitution is being crushed? In what ways?
Illegal foreign invaders are being repulsed at the border, one of the duties of the federal government mentioned in the US Constitution.
Just yesterday a bill was signed into law after extensive debate and rewriting in both the Senate and House before being signed into law by the President whose election had been verified months earlier by federal electors.
Sounds to me like the Left only thinks the Constitution is being destroyed after they lose an election.

BTW, the last successful 3rd party? The Republicans. They were created before the American Civil War.
More than 200 years ago. They eventually replaced the Whigs.

Will the DSA, Democrat Socialists of America replace the Democrats?

Or will the DSA split off from old guard Democrats like the Biden and Clinton wings?

Vance v AOC v Chelsea Clinton in 2028?

How much “forward thinking” did your party do when they placed a dementia patient in the big boy chair for four years? How did that work out for the Democrat party as a whole? Your backwards assessments always make me chuckle.

OH BUT, BUSH WAS BEST AT FORWARD THINKING....MISSION ACCOMPLISHED...OOPS,A FALSE ASSUMPTION THAT BECAME A CLUSTER FUCK....NO WMD...BUT INTEL ON THE GROUND WAS NOT ADEQUATE AND WOEFULLY UNDERUSED.......BUSH, BIDEN...ALL THE SAME..THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM,FOR DECADES,HAS BEEN FUBARRED....GET OVER BIDEN.

It was "Mission Accomplished" for that carrier group.
And how dangerous is Iraq these days? They went from the 6th largest military to become a failed state.
