That is a good question.. The AIP will go down in flames as another third party that failed..
Of course it will. Pretty much all third parties exist as mere ego trips for their founders and a close inner circle of top-level supporters - and in this statement I am including the Constitution and Libertarian Parties too. They exist so that a small number of purists can pat themselves on the back about how pure they are, while collecting donations from the dupes they manage to make.
Meanwhile, the actual work of purifying a major party is left by the wayside.
This brings to me to one of primary criticisms of third parties, which is that they exist to facilitate the lazy and cowardly. It's always easier to take your ball and go home instead of staying in the game and trying to win, even though your team looks like it's temporarily down. Third parties exist because, for many conservatives, doing the heavy lifting of getting the GOP back where it ought to be, one voter and one precinct at a time, is simply more than a lot of folks want to try to bite off.
