He’d do it for the same reason anyone does it ... to spark a viable 3rd party in the US to break up the stranglehold the 2 parties have on our electoral system.
I can see why they’d be motivated to do it ... look at how close the 2 parties are on like 90 % of everything. It’s given us this ridiculous system where personality conflicts between candidates are substituted for policy differences. Lots of screaming, nastiness, childishness .. it’s indecent and probably one of the main resaons our culture has become so course and nasty. When the people being held up as ‘leaders’ operate like 3rd graders, it has an effect on the rest of us, no?
I hope Ron dosent do this. This election is already an uphill fight for us.

I don’t think he thinks that way. I think he and his supporters are so convinced that the Republican Party has become an evil thing that they believe they are doing historic, divine work in bringing it down. I don’t think they really think a viable third party is possible. They are just so enraged at the RINO wing of the Republican party. They believe that the Republicans have to be destroyed for the good of the country. For an interim, they fully realize, the Dhimmis will then be in charge, but they think in the long run, the destruction of the counterweight to the Dhimmis opens up possibilities for a “true conservative” party.
They are fools to think that, but they think it. They are fueled by the same revolutionary rage that brought down other wobbly systems—e.g., the French and Russian revolutions. So far, our system has not been wobbly enough to fall victim to them and it may well survive this attempt to destroy it. But as the populace becomes more and most sheeplistic and prone to demagogery, one of these election cycles the ragers may succeed.
I’m enraged at the RINOing of the Pubbies too, but I also understand that we have a two-party system, for good or ill. There was a time I hoped for a realignment that would create a different two parties (one truly liberal, one truly conservative), but I’ve given up on that. Both parties have, so far, successfully managed to straddle the libera/conservative lines—at least in public perception, though not in reality.
