The Republican elites were very upset the voters chose Donald Trump in record numbers this week.
The voters want Trump.
The elites don’t.
I’d assumed the new party should be called the New Federalist Party or The New Whig Party. But now I’m thinking, The Renegade Party…

On Tuesday Kristol’s Renegade Party Twitter account was launched.
Only around 2,700 people followed the “party” in the first 18 hours.
That’s when the party founders tweeted out a plea to “true conservatives” to “help us get to 3,000 followers in our first 24 hours.”
Can you help us get to 3,000 followers in our first 24 hours? Retweet to spread the word! #RenegadesUnite

Sadly, the group of #NeverTrumpers did not reach their goal.
Thanks for helping us reach 1,000 followers in four hours! #RenegadesUnite #NeverTrump #NeverHillary

After 24 hours the Renegade Party could only muster around 2,800 followers.
They reached 3,000 followers sometime late this afternoon.
It’s a movement.
