The "patriot" party is a terrible idea people! Trump already showed you why. He was a 3rd party guy with conservative views on many things and he is what the R's were looking for in 2016 (noisy, brash, never gives up). The R pres candidates have been pretty bad the past few cycles and things were getting away from us. Mitt Romney? John Mccain? Rinos both! Sarah Palin?
The R party is the one that accommodates alternative views, debate, and always has been. That's also what Americans are for the most part, even Democrats. At this point a liberal person like Tulsi could probably get far in a R primary. I do not want to see her as president, but I'd be happy to call her a Republican and let her participate. And maybe I could vote for her. At this point I'd take her over Biden, even though she is quite leftward of him in many ways.
Libertarians, you want your pothead open borders whatever person in? I say put an R on your head and welcome to the party. Debate, market yourself, the R party should welcome you with open arms.
The Republican party should be guided by preserving our rights, such as guns, speech, etc. Not abortion or other social issues. The D party can stick with the social issues and woke bullshit that people are sick of hearing about.
