Yup, I remember hearing that from so called conservatives in 92' and 96' and it got us 2 terms of Clinton.
There's not going to be a viable 3rd party. Even loony tunes Ron Paul understands this. It's just not going to happen in our winner take all system with no chance for coalition government.
3rd parties will almost always be spoilers - normally the kind where rich Democrats funnel money to supposed conservative 3rd party candidates (or write in efforts) and well meaning, but stupid right of center people fall for it and vote for them.
We need all parties banned. That would shake things up making people have to take a hard look at each candidate. People will have to vote based on their knowledge of that candidate’s views and the impression they have of the candidate. Banning parties will free us from having to make party-driven Faustian choices. Voters will still have no perfect candidates and will have to decide what issues are most important to them.
