Not now, but soon.
One, because we conservatives are the huge minority in America today. When you divide the nation by the commies, dummies and illegals vs. the RINOs and the Conservatives, we are the minority and could not win a race for dog catcher against those two garbage groups. We are only group that has our minds on straight and we are the very, very few. Even fewer than the Marines say they are.
A conservative party in a 3 way race is the only way out of this mess.
Because a third party has never won a presidential election in the history of this country? The Republican Party was not a “third party” in 1860 as the Whigs had already disappeared.
There was talk in 2008 about a “Constitution Party” but it never got any traction.
The best we have been able to get is the Tea Party within the GOP.
I don't think a third party candidate has ever won a presidential election in the U.S. It would split right-leaning votes assuring a Dem victory.
Does not take much mental energy to know our nation with current Elite parties is in serious trouble. The only people who don’t seem to see it are the ones who feed the beast.
I voted Constitution pary in 2012 because I liked thier conservative platform. I am a history major and know that the current state of GOP is not much different from the WHIGS. The GOP ran as a third party in 1986 and lost but in 1860 they had a winner in Lincoln.
So I would support Palin if she ran independent someone needs to shock the GOP-E out of thier unworldly cocoon.

You mean except for Lincoln.
foot ball game?
Third Party?
Ineffective sour grapes would be the result
most all of America is satisfied with forming coalitions under the umbrellas of two parties
political and philosophical differences are resolved under these umbrellas
In as much as the parts of their base will not compromise on religious freedom, socialized medicine, securing the border, or homosexuality.
The party can not force that sector of the electorate to base order acknowledge their new agenda, hence the party has been non competitive for the last several election cycles.
We need a third party to force the two Progressive parties to drop the facade. People need to stop thinking in the false Dem vs GOP paradigm because they are not enemies or even opponents. The only choice they provide is slavery by collectivism leading to globalism or slavery by globalism leading to collectivism.
I want a third party candidate to run.
I want Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to run and get over 90% of the black vote.- Tom
Well, the Clinton’s have already used that trick and it worked. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for them again.
Unless and until there is another revolution in this country the ruling elite and the DC establishment will never allow again anyone to sit in the WH that is not also a crony establishment criminal. They’ve come too far to sacrifice and lose what they’ve gained in eliminating the middle class, implementing stricter control over the people and resources and nationalizing the sovereignty of the US under the last four presidents.
Because it would guarantee another Clinton presidency; see for example H. Ross Perot (the “H” presumably standing for “Hegomaniac”)
Correct...
I wish more people in general, especially Freepers understood this...
A third party is a rabbit hole to nowhere...
Conservatives CAN change DC, one congressman and election at a time...
But we need to get away from the purity positions...not a single candidate will have positions everyone likes...
I'd take 65 % of Walker, Pence, Kasich, Rubio over Hillary anyday...
Jeb Bush is a different story,
Why not have the NRA & Tea Party get together and stand up a CONSERVATIVE roster of candidates? At least then we would know where they stand on the issues. And, we would get to (correctly) refer to them as CENTRIST (for the low info voters that means they support & honor the Constitution which is the basis for our laws & culture, and therefore the CENTER of our society) and NOT let the media label us as “RIGHT WING”. Right Wing connotes a bunch of whackos and terrorists.
No....just no.
“A third party is a rabbit hole to nowhere...”
Perhaps ...if it’s political power you seek. If you chose political representation you will vote for the candidate of your choice regardless of party. Only when the majority of voters do so will a representative republic be restored in America.
