I am not a believer in a 3rd party right now, but I trust no one active in either party.

I agree Irish. Right now, we need to clean up the Republican party. In the history of the United States, not a single third party has come close to winning the presidency, only 7 3rd parties have even won a single state’s electoral votes and only 5 third parties have won even 10% of the vote.

The only exception to this would be if there was a shock to our body politic of the kind that led us into the Civil War. Are we on the edge of that? Short of that, 3rd party politics will FAIL. Do we have 20 years to sit around and dink around with that?

Much better alternative: Clean out the Republican party and run a robust Reagan style conservative message. Much less compromise...and it will WORK.

That said, I support the Conservative in NY-23. His election would send a strong message to the national GOP, imho.
