Third party is not the answer. Just take back the Republican party and don’t split votes by creating a 3rd party.
Exactly. A third-party vote by a conservative/Republican is effectively a vote for the Democrats. Anyone who thinks it takes less energy, money, time, etc., etc. to create and develop a third party as an effective voice in government than it does to correct the deficiencies of the Republican party from within is not thinking rationally ... although from an emotional perspective I admit it's enticing to fantasize about.
