The GOP needs to completely collapse as an organization before a third party is viable. The GOP is ineffective and compromised, but the organization is nowhere near total collapse. As things stand, it would be far easier to have a conservative nominated in the Democrat primaries than it would be to create a viable third party challenge.
It’s hard I know.
We had talked earlier this year about a Tea Party Convention run as a live stream with Tea Party House parties watching the live stream.
The purpose was for conservatives to nominate their candidate before the GOP had their convention SO THAT IT WOULD BE KNOWN prior to the GOPe pre-ordained selection.
Importantly such an effort would gain the critical support of the majority of independents who make up one third of the electorate.
Because the republicans right now ARE NOT POPULAR. Any benefit the GOP receives is at the hands of Obama and democrat follies. The GOP stands for nothing. Voters will be ABD voters (anything but democrats).
But a Tea Party presence that pierces into the living rooms of Americans with a narrative that is direct and unaltered, will give Americans a choice other than democrats and republicans. And although the Tea Party will be an offshoot of the GOP, it will be presented as the party that can take over and get a handle on the corruption inside the GOP.
Then when-if the GOP nominates Jeb Bush or Romney or whoever, Ted Cruz can break off as an independent candidate for President.
