Well, that explains how well the Reform Party among others has done lately.
Never mind that a third party has never been remotely succussful this century or the last one.
Even Teddy Roosevelt couldn't get one to work.
However, you're telling me you have the formula down. Okie dokie.
Times change. Parties change. No election in my memory or knowledge of history has seen a party nominate a candidate opposed to 80% of the platform of the party. The status quo exists till it changes.
