Dude, apparently you have been partaking of that newly legalized substance. A third party, which would be a conservative third party, would split the vote with the GOP establishment candidate and the RAT wins. 26-34 seats? A very nice thought but dreaming. The average cost of a Congressional seat is about 1.7 mil. Presuming the RAT will always get in the range of 40% out the gate, let’s do the math. How does any 3rd party candidate take away maybe 90% from the establishment GOP establishment candidate? That is Common Core math.
What I’m saying is that those 24-36 seats would primarily come from places where the 3rd party candidate would take mainly rat votes, or votes from uber RINO’s, or votes from people staying home on our side who are dispirited (losers of course).
The 3rd party candidate that ran in my district could have gotten it with meager effort. That was a bona fide example in one of the last places you’d expect. The so called Libertarian who ran spent nothing. A TEA partier or true Libertarian could have walked away with it for little effort. The WAS NO REPUBLICAN RUNNING.
The Libertarians blow tons of money on a national race that does, as you say, split off more R votes than D’s, but WE’RE NOT TALKING PRESIDENCY.
It costs next to nothing to get on a ticket, or free here w/ I think ~2-3K signatures. If I could afford to not work, I could TALK to enough people to win an election around here over a cycles period. 2 of the 4 districts near me had less than 20,000 people turn out for a congressional election.
BTW, you’re approaching “douche” status by constantly referring to me smoking weed or being in fantasy land. Lighten up on it DIU...
