but there are cases where conservatives can pick a third-party candidate if that candidate has a chance in the general election.

And yet I can find nothing from the Framers stating that we should vote for someone based on their electability. Voting our consciences and that the candidate follows the Constitution is covered but voting for someone only if they can get elected? That's what has given us the two facet one party system we have now. No thanks

Uh the Framer's built a winner take all system, and thus the two party electoral system, we have now.

They knew that you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Human nature and all that.
