As Ross Perot showed, with essentially unlimited money and a ton of MSM publicity, a third party can pull in a solid 19% and lock in Dems solidly.
Then good send more $ and time to that rat hole called the GOP, I am done, have a nice day.
B$, if he hadn't withdrawn and then went totally bananas who knows what he might have garnered.

I suggest you need a different perspective. The republicans and a new conservative party SHOULD fight for dominance in our two-party system. Will that enable a democrat president in 2016? Obviously it will. But the last time the republicans had power, they pissed it away trying to buy votes and expanded the govt at a then, unheard of pace. With the exception of the judicial branch, I fail to see the downside in having this fight. Screw the republicans: They obviously don't care that much about smaller government so adios. I was willing to go along with them, and yet another lame candidate, one more time because I was of the belief of anyone but Barrack Obama. Well, that fight is over and we lost. In fact republicans have lost five out of the last six popular votes for president. They don't just insult conservatives, but when it comes right down to it, they (moderate republicans) are lousy politicians.
Is there any reason to suspect things won't continue as they have? Last I read, Bohner has cemented his cronies in the house and has punished some conservatives for not bending over when he told them to cave. When my values are treated with contempt more than the opposition party, I think its time to move on. I will support with money and time a new conservative party dedicated to smaller govenment, liberty, adherence to the original intent of the US constition and of returning power to the states. And assuming such a party forms, I will by necessity, oppose the Republican party as strongly as I know how.
We need to dominate the republican party in such a fight and make them go the way of the Whigs. Then, and only then, can we start to try to implement our agenda.
How convenient of you to blame Perot voters for George “read my lips,
no new taxes” Bush loss. Bush lied to conservatives. As a result, left a huge
opening for another candidate.
And 19 percent went, elsewhere.
In addition, the Tea Party is a lot stronger today, than the 19 percent
That voted for Perot.
I did not leave the GOP, they have left me.

So what? Even when the gop wins, they act to expand the scope of socialism. When they lose, they do the same. The Dems are already locked in.
Gonna hold their feet to the fire, are ya?
