This week’s AMAC Weekly Poll lit up the comment boards as thousands of members weighed in on whether Elon Musk’s rumored third political party could shake up American politics for the better, or would just make a mess of things.
A clear majority — roughly 77 percent — said they aren’t buying it. Many worry a third party would only split the conservative vote and hand more power to the left. As one member put it plainly: “We don’t need another spoiler. We need to fix what we already have and stop the nonsense.”
Others weren’t quite ready to completely dismiss a new political option. About nine percent said they’d reserve judgment until they saw an actual platform. “Show me the plan. If it’s about freedom and sanity, I’m listening,” another member commented.
A smaller but spirited group, around seven percent, said they liked the idea of Musk shaking up the status quo. One member quipped: “We need someone to kick the swamp in the teeth. Why not Musk?”
Another six percent admitted they’re still on the fence, saying they need more information before making up their minds.
Many members brought former President Donald Trump into the conversation, signaling just how central he remains in their thinking. For some, Trump is still the fighter they trust, and they were wary of anyone who might peel away support from him. “Trump already showed us how to stand up to the establishment,” one member said. Another added: “If this party helps Trump or carries his values forward, maybe. If it hurts him, forget it.”
Still others voiced frustration with the usual choices on the ballot – particularly as Trump is now term-limited and the America First movement needs a new class of leaders to arise. They want someone fresh who still stands for Trump’s America First principles but isn’t just another politician. “We’re sick of holding our noses at the ballot box,” wrote one. “Give us a REAL choice — with backbone.”
One thing came through loud and clear: AMAC members are deeply committed to defending freedom, fiscal sanity, and constitutional values — and they’re not shy about demanding that their leaders deliver. More than 35,000 respondents took part in the poll, a testament to how engaged AMAC members are on this issue.
