Third parties never do well. I see no reason why a Patriot Party would be an exception, although it might work for a presidential candidate. Perot did okay and probably would have done better if he wasn’t such a flake.
The Republican party was a third party.
Not true...majority political parties have disappeared several times in the history of the country. This is such a time frame. If he starts it, I'll sign up (and I've been a registered independent since registering to vote fifty years ago). Trump is no flake.
>>Third parties never do well.
Yeah, that upstart Republican party never had any influence once they broke from the Whigs.
President Trump is the reason why this would be an exception. Third parties have risen before and major parties have fallen before.
President Trump brings with him a large group of motivated, dedicated voters. This country needs more than two parties, particularly when we see those two parties effectively working as one. In many ways, conservatives have the same struggle as hardcore liberals do: the major party we associate with doesn’t have our back. Pelosi - as misguided, nasty, and left as she is - isn’t nearly far enough to the left for people like AOC. Likewise, people further to the right usually have nothing but contempt for people like Mitch McConnell.
Mitch and all his little friends do not have our back. We need a party with people that represent us. We need those people to win seats in state legislatures and Congress. We need to force the GOP to with with us to get anything done.
Third party Perot took away just enough votes from the republicans to give the dem the white house. you are right about him being a flake. I’m trying to remember the name of his running mate. He was kind of a flake as well.
