[Constitutions Grandchild]

I hope, for the country's sake, she thinks this through long and hard. I don't think the majority of Americans is ready for a third party (although most of us wish we had something other than what we have). I'm extremely concerned that a third-party run would pretty much assure another 4 years of our current administration — I know it's in God's hands, but I truly fear the result.

I don't think the majority of Americans is ready for a third party (although most of us wish we had something other than what we have).

Four parties would work though. What we have now is Coke vs. Pepsi and many elections going 50/50. It would be good for political competition to break up the duopoly. Whoever starts a new conservative party though should also help start a neo-communist party to split the Democrats in two. Three parties is politically unstable and collapses back into two, but four parties each with about 25% market share can be a stable state. It also means conservatives can start winning about 25% of the time instead of 2.5% now.
