He should form a new party.

Maybe he will call it the National Front

"I want it to be a worker's party...so we'll call it the Worker's Party because we stand with the hard-working people of this country. But we care about America and we put America First, so we need to maybe call it the National Worker's Party. And you know, I'm a fun guy, I get along with everybody, I want to be social. So maybe the National Social Worker's Party...National Socialist Worker's Party...something like that."


Yes! Socialist! We need to get the Bernie voters! I like where you are going with this!

The thread title is misleading. OP should change it.

This may happen if he does not get the Republicans on board.

But it makes the Presidency almost unmanageable.

He should join Democrats, because they're actually the better party.
Maybe in the year 1957. Trump's bigotry isn't welcome.

No dreaming at all. Bipartisan system has become outdated and inadequate. It doesn't meet demands of contemporary American society. Trump or somebody else will have to form a new political party.

I think his true believers aren't that numerous, TBH.  However, I think there are enough conservatives who were so mad at what they viewed as their capitulating leadership that they see Trump hijacking the party as their only voice in 2016.

I don't agree with them, but I doubt people with Trump's views will be abundant in the 2020 primaries.

I think he is brining some issues to light among GOP voters (campaign finance, trade, foreign policy/Israel, health care, taxes on hedge funds) that have not been heard en masse since Pat Buchanan sought the nomination (although, Rick Santorum opposed free trade deals during his 2012 run). I vote that Trump should stay in the GOP, whether he tarnishes the Party's brand or not, and help to move the Party back to the center-right, as opposed to the far-right.

Trump is trying to move us to the center-left. Cruz and his allies are the center-right the establishment is the center. You dems need to understand that we (America) are a center-right nation and have been since JFK.

If Cruz is center right, and Trump is center left, does that make Clinton and Obama far left?

Trump is sure to be a leftist taking into account his views on foreign policy, gay marriage, etc. But that doesn't mean that he will pursue a leftist policy if he is (unexpectedly) elected in November. Don't forget that all his statements made during election campaign are "only suggestions".

I have given a better name before:

Nazionalsozialistische Drumpfarbeiterpartei!

Edit: and, believe it or not, the computer corrected itself Drumpfarbeiterpartei to Trumparbeiterpartei! The word must be in the dictionaries already!

His appeal hasn't extended to anyone else so far.

There haven't been major upsets in the other primaries, and the one candidate he endorsed lost bad.

His background would also be difficult to replicate for independents. His claim is that he's a successful businessman, and those guys get elected often enough through standard primaries.

Trump should form a new party, and to fit in with him and his base, they should call it The Brown Shirt Party.

Jesse Jackson's bigotry is still welcome.  I haven't forgotten his "Hymietown" comment in 1984.  He seems to have been rehabilitated without first apologizing.

I am glad the majority of poll's participants have supported my suggestion that Trump should form his own party. Thus he will be able to get rid of flip-flopping hypocritic GOP establishment to have a free hand in his election campaign.

Yesterday, I posted that the problem with a Trump party is that there aren't any obvious candidates for local office.

But then I realized that there is one source: Trump University graduates.

I'm sure they'd be willing to serve as state legislators, and we know that they had the wisdom to give Trump their money.

Yes, give is the key word, receiving nothing in return.

When Philip the Good cut off his son's allowance the latter's servants offered: disant l’un: j’ay mille, l’autre: dix mille, l’autre: j’ay cecy, j’ay cela pour mettre pour vous et pour attendre tout vostre advenir.
Real supporters never expect anything in return. I personally get nothing in return for my posts.

But when you pay money for a promised course of studies, you expect to be compensated with  the requisite course of studies and information for which you have paid.
