He's right, reforming the Republican Party would be harder than simply forming a new party and going through a few years' of irrelevance until it goes through the process of getting on ballots a few times
(The kick in the balls is that getting on the ballot is really, really fucken hard if a candidate is neither Democrat nor Republican, because the 2 main parties get automatic slots in many cases)
There have to be a shitload of people like me, who have spent years in party work, many here on this board I am sure, who would quickly join a Patriot Party
