Nearly half of Republicans say they would abandon the party as it is currently structured and join a new party if former President Trump was its leader, according to a new poll released Sunday.

A Suffolk University-USA Today poll found that 46 percent of Republicans said they would abandon the GOP and join the Trump party if the former president decided to create one. Only 27 percent said they would stay with the GOP, with the remainder indicating they would be undecided.

"We feel like Republicans don't fight enough for us, and we all see Donald Trump fighting for us as hard as he can, every single day," a Republican and small-business owner from Milwaukee told the newspaper. "But then you have establishment Republicans who just agree with establishment Democrats and everything, and they don't ever push back."
Trump has not indicated the details of his political future. But after his acquittal in his second impeachment trial, Trump issued a scathing rebuke of Republican leadership, specifically Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.)

McConnell did not v**e to convict Trump, citing the unconstitutionality of convicting a president who no longer holds office. But after the Senate's acquittal v**e, McConnell said Trump was "morally" responsible for the J*** 6 r**t of his supporters at the Capitol and alluded to potential criminal prosecution of the former president for alleged crimes he may have committed in office.

"He didn't get away with anything yet," McConnell said on the Senate floor at the time.

"Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again," Trump said in response to McConnell's remarks. "He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country. Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership."

Trump's top advisers have said they are focused on helping elect conservatives to Congress.

“Our goal is to win back the House and Senate,” Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump, told The Hill this week. “We’ll be looking at open seats, Democratic-held seats, and maybe there are places where we look for upgrades and more MAGA-friendly voices. I have no idea why McConnell decided to lash out at the president this way, but when you do, you can expect to get hit back.”

The Suffolk University-USA Today poll was taken among 1,000 Trump v**ers, identified from 2020 polls, between Feb. 15 and Feb. 19. It has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

I agree in principle, but when they cannot or will not see what is likely, then there is nothing we could do. Some people simply will not listen-it is kind of like a child holding his fingers in his ears and singing :Tra La La La, until you stop talking. So while it may be that they deserve the leaders we get, we also must suffer along with them. Perhaps more because we see it and see it coming-at least they were blissfully ignorant for a time. I have many in my family who fit that description and you finally stop beating a dead horse, and walk away.

Just can't stand anyone questioning trump,can you ,one thing she did show she's got more balls than trump About the Q conspircy theories,and trump want denounce them.The Q conspircy theory qroup says the Christian right are their biggest new members,what the hell is wrong with these people when they are so dubbed by a group of conspiracy theories. This is one thing trump has done for our country,you should be proud to v**e for a liar,wait see what he will do to you if he gets reelected. This president is out of his mind . At least joe has enough mind left to not support the Q.But I think trump is the Q leader because that's most all we have heard for almost 4 years is conspircy theories, so I guess as most on opp are trump nuts then I guess they are Q members. How sad our country has turned in to this.

And I think she is so determined to make sure that President Trump does not get another win before the e******n that she put her Christmas list items in the bill knowing that would put the kibosh on it in the Republican controlled Senate. She doesn't really want any stimulus bill to pass if it will make President Trump look good, and she doesn't give a rip about how much her actions might be hurting the American people. But, hey, as long as nancy gets what nancy wants. That's all she is about.
