Because of the passage of Trump's Big Butthole Bill, I guess the America Party ls at least a probable reality.

Quote:
Musk has stated that the America Party is focused on deficit reduction[19] and has advocated for the party to be fiscally conservative.[1] The New York Times's Nate Cohn stated that the party's ideology "may be recognizable by the labels its critics on both the left and right have already assigned", referring to neoliberalism and globalism, respectively. According to Cohn, it also supports deregulation, free trade, and immigration of high-skilled workers.[25]


Should bleed off more Republican votes.

Hmmm...could this be a viable alternative to always having to vote Libertarian in presidential elections?

Certainly worth looking into, and makes a lot more sense than this MAGA cancer that's infected the body politic.

Lol! You don't know that, nobody knows. Remember all the arguments on both sides when RFK Jr was going to run a third party? Nobody knew who was going to hurt the most. And Elon Musk has zero political experience he has no idea what he's doing. He has no idea how to pick a candidate, how to finance a new party, he's going to have to hire all that out and it's going to be a fiasco. Guaranteed. Every two years somebody tries to start a new party in this country and it never happens and if it does happen like the Libertarians, it makes zero difference. Elon Musk is all hat and no cattle at this point, he's just a rich blowhard shooting off his mouth thinking he can buy anything. He's the guy who spent a month at a Dude Ranch in Montana and thinks he's a cowboy now. He ain't.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

It's not about a third party growing and becoming viable. It's about becoming viable enough to damage the MAGA hold on the Senate and House.

But is SHOULD be about growing and becoming viable, given the sorry state the two parties have fallen into.

Potential candidates for Musk have to know if he would abandon them in a fit of dissatisfaction on some disagreement.

Same-same with the MAGA pols who owe their political existence to the mercurical whims of Herr Trump.

"Pledge undying fealty to me or else you'll go back to flipping burgers" is the current MAGA mantra.

and now for the rumors behind the news...

Or even more damage to the Looney lefties. You never know which way it's going to go depends on who the candidate is and as it stands right now his new party has no one. The Democrats have no one. You could have the best party ever created in the universe and if your candidate stinks he ain't going to get elected. Duh.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
