I have always thought that it would be interesting to see an "Ordinary people party" that focuses on the silent majority, held by someone who never wants to be the president but loves to hold a percentage as a bargaining chip.

- markus_zhang 2y agoYeah, I was about to write "But looks like Trump kinda does that", but thought that could be a bit controversial so I didn't.

- umeshunni 2y ago> an "Ordinary people party" Hate to break it to you, but that's the GOP at this point.

It feels like there are lots of people in the GOP who want to go a lot farther than "Ordinary people" do.
