A Conservative third party would never win the presidency, and practically guarantee the Democrats wining every time by splitting the center right vote between the GOP candidate and the Third Party candidate.

Now a third party that focused on only wining seats in the house and senate would be far more effective. Say a well funded and non fringe conservative third party were to develop and take say 100 House Seats and 9-10 senate seats. This would give a third party a tremendous amount of power as the two major parties would need the third party votes in order to pass legislation. The third party could leverage this to demand a conservative direction in legislation, especially in the house.

But this party would have to be well financed (at least $250 million in revenue), and have to be able to attract exceptional talent. No third party has ever came close to accomplishing this.

Well said!! I agree completely. Forget the White House. The real power is in Congress.

Now there is someone who understands. Regionalism is in some places stronger than Nationalism. The Globalists hate both of them.

I cannot believe that we are seeing another attempt at the garbage that Woodrow Wilson tried to pull off.

But this time it is lead by a committed Commie, and his globalist fiends who intend to destroy the U.S. citizen's freedom forever.

Isn't that funny? That's exactly what was siad about the new Republican Party about 150 years ago.
