Third parties are pointless and counterproductive in our system. In the short term a 3rd party would mean democrat victory (which is death at this point). In the long term everyone who was a Republican would move to the new party (or the new party would collapse) and it would be the Republican party with a different name. That’s the way it works, the vast majority of Northern Whigs became Republicans just like virtually all former Federalists became Whigs. The longer the split went on, the worse for the country. Look at Canada in the 90’s.
And there is zero indication of any major constitutional changes coming any time soon.
I’ll be backing the Republican nominee for President. Anyone on the right who mounts a third party bid is a scumbag trying to throw the election to Hillary like Ross Perot.
As opposed to what we have now?
Frankly, I can't tell the difference in ideology between the RATs and the GOPe. The only difference is the speed getting there.
