A former Pat Buchanan adviser has launched a petition that threatens to launch a new political movement if the Republican Party fails to nominate Donald Trump.
Paul Nagy founded the Draft Buchanan movement in 1992 and went on to serve as his Northeast campaign director. On Sunday, he launched a petition titled “We Will Walk,” which currently has over 1,000 signatures…
The former Buchanan adviser said a new political movement rising out of the GOP’s exclusion of Donald Trump would not be one exclusive to the New York real estate developer. He told TheDC, “I believe that this movement transcends Trump individually. I mean this is about the country. It’s like Trump said ‘do we wanna have a country or not?’”
Nagy added, “It doesn’t have to be Trump. I mean this movement can take hold and that’s one of the things I hope to be a part of. I want to bring down the current Republican Party. I want to get rid of the impotent snobs.”
He has been contacting people in each of the states and is hoping to “interact with the delegates that have been elected and will be elected.”…
While the “We Will Walk” petition implies a new party, Nagy is willing to embrace the RNC on one condition. “It has to be brought down all together. And when Trump is the president, it has to be brought back up again. It has to be what it should be. It should be a people’s party, not an elitist party,” he said.

I put Pat Buchanan and Sarah Palin in roughly the same category: "not sure what to think about them".
No, I don't put them in the same category. Pat Buchanan has a whole lot more life experience and credibility.
But the point here is that the party elite wants to decide who should be the next candidate, not the people.
As for Cruz vs Trump on this issue, if that's on your mind, Cruz has no realistic chance. He's 1 for 18 outside of TX.
I've outlined in prior posts how both he and Kasich are being used by the GOPe to keep Trump from getting the nomination.
