I understand. And yes, a strong third-party candidate who drains the natural strength of one candidate often tilts the election. Perot is the most recent example. Another would be George Wallace in '68, which is one campaign I remember well. He drew support from both Nixon (conservative voters) and Humphrey (southern Democrats, who were still somewhat common then). That made for a close election in what otherwise might have been more favorable, probably to Nixon because of the unpopularity of Johnson and Vietnam.
Essentially we have a third party here in the US. Talk radio hosts who criticize endlessly and know better how to be a general, a president, a senator, a congressman......just ask them.
Constructive advice, no way. Ratings first, good for America....not a chance. Just criticize criticize.
To say nothing of the fifth column here, the MSM. Combined they do a good job of destroying any chance of getting anything accomplished.
