Former Rep. Charlie Dent (R—PA) revealed he and other Republicans have begun discussing whether to form a “new party or a new faction” in the wake of “ugly populism that we’ve witnessed the last four years under President Trump” in a new interview.
Speaking with CNN on Saturday, the former GOP lawmaker and longtime critic of former President Donald Trump shared how he had recently participated in a summit in which the idea of conservatives “united around core principles like democracy” forming their own party had been discussed.
“A new faction within the party or one that operates independently of the party,” he said. “That's the conversation that many Republicans are having.”
Asked whether he was concerned about Republicans like him “surrendering the party to a fringe element” of extremists and conspiracy theorists, the former congressman said: “Well, I think that's a real fear.”

I think what he is doing is fragmenting the party even more. There needs to be some unity because there really is a reality that our government is a two party system. Anything more leaves the left holding all the cards.

The discussion among Democrats is that the more central wings of the GOP should join up with the Conservative, Central and Libertarian Wings of the DNC and Libertarian Party in forming this new political party.
To many there seems there is not a political forum/platform for middle-of-the-road voters.
