7. Who can argue with such a rigorous, scientific poll as this?

Did he promise to hand out 100 bucks to everyone who voted?

[Jack Valentino]

14. With over 5 million people voting in it, the "sample size" is not in-adequate... LOL

[a kennedy]

8. Ya know...a third party might be fine...how many Dems, Independents and Repubs would join??

Seriously......it just depends on what the goals are, how inclusive they are. Just not sure of the muskrat trying to start it. Haven’t both parties, Democrats, AND Republicans had name changes??

[Jack Valentino]

13. Neither the Democratic nor the Republican party have had name changes

since they were officially established....

However, I believe that the party which backed Thomas Jefferson was known as "Democratic-Republican" back at that time--
and most of those people became known as the Democratic Party, about the time of Andrew Jackson's first run for the presidency (1828)...

The Republican party was formed in 1854, from northern whigs, anti-slavery Democrats, free soilers and portains of the anti-immigrant "American" party.

16. Damn I love this question.....

Democrats, Republicans, Independents, What should the name be……ya know the new party, ugh, what’s his name……I do really like the American Party. I LIKE IT A LOT. NOW HOW DO WE START IT, OR YA KNOW, JOIN IT. IT IS A GREAT IDEA.

[Laffy Kat]

9. LOL, excellent idea!

It will split the repubs even more. I love it.

[Irish_Dem]

10. He needs to go into detox and get on the correct medication, an anti-psychotic.

[highplainsdem]

15. You just suggested that the many Democratic lawmakers still there, as well as almost all of DU's favorite

journalists and pundits, aren't sane.

[Jack Valentino]

12. A new party that leans hard-right with a lot of money to spend would be

FINE! And maybe even inadvertently help to make America GREAT again!

(by siphoning off votes from Republican candidates to ensure their defeat!)

[a kennedy]

17. No.....not necessarily, there a ton'O Democrats that could join......and I'm sure some Independents would too.

[Jack Valentino]

18. "a ton of Democrats" would join a far-right party? I don't think so.

If they would join a far right party, they wouldn't be with us now---
they already have a far-right Republican party they could be voting for.

In any case, the Republicans have a lot more to lose from it, than we do,
based on simple ideology.

[Ping Tung]

19. I guess the America Party makes the MAGA (aka Republican) party the UnAmaerica Party.

Is this going to turn into the American rerun of "The night of the long knives." 30 June to 2 July 1934?

[ProfessorGAC]

20. A Couple Of Points

First, his followers are going to be a preponderant fraction of the votes. It represents Musk's fans, not the voting public.
Second, the poll shows 80 4%. Apparently, Lucky Boy doesn't know what "exactly means".

[Xolodno]

22. Will he whip out some charts....

....like Ross Perot did?

[oasis]

25. "That giant sucking sound you'll hear is" ...GOP

voters going over the Musk camp. 😉

[BlueSpot]

23. That is a stupid name for a party

And there is no possibility in this world that he actually wants to do anything for the "middle 80%".

I'd like to think we could win against a tag team of grifters but I have grown to understand the depth of stupidity among the voting public. Might help though.

[Renew Deal]

24. A new party is needed to replace the Republican Party.

[Iggo]

26. Do it, Elon.

[Cha]

27. Yeah, the Gestapo party, Nazi boy.

[Mountainguy]

28. I'm all for it

Far past time that Republicans have a party that does nothing but try to peel off voters from them for a change.
