Interesting, Dan Bongino was talking about this yesterday—that in the past he did not support Third Party, but given the fact that GOP is acting more and more like Dems or a Uniparty-esp. with healthcare bill.
Seems that the downside risk of going third party is diminishing. We are all tired of being sold out :(
He did not go into the detail you did. He did, however, mention that David Horowitz is also in favor of third party.
I think you have some good ideas.
I've figured out who the GOPE is - they're a bunch of people who LIKE losing... then they can sit around Washington DC drawing rooms and discuss the nuances of the same 24 books they read in college on being 'Conservative'...
In short - ALL talk NO Action...
This is sheer nonsense and is ignorant of how politics works. The Republicans are not acting like the Democrats. What is going on is that the Republicans have a faction of “moderates” (”Neo-Cons”, “RINO’s”, etc.), led by John McCain, who are more hawkish. This faction may want to repeal Obamacare but to get what they want on foreign policy issues, they have to shoot down Obamacare to force concessions from Trump on foreign policy issues they are pushing for. So the real question becomes: would you be favorable to Trump making concessions on foreign policy to repeal Obamacare? Or would you rather live with a modified form of Obamacare and keep Trump foreign policy intact? Remember, in politics we can only rarely have our cake and eat it too. Some of this thinking about a third party is by those who want to divide the Republicans and give the Democrats a shot in 2020. To get what you want you may have to log roll - referring to many people who differ in their politics pushing on a huge fallen redwood tree to roll it. If you don’t form a coalition to push the log there will be a legislative “log jam”. This goes by the name of “REALISM” - the attitude and practice of accepting a situation as it is and prepared to deal with it. Realism also goes by another name: “COMMON SENSE”.
