If the Republican Party can’t change & switch to honest & real Constitutional values,then maybe the Constitution Party is the way to go. I just don’t see a majority of dimwit voters voting for that particular party just because it’s change in status quo.
Besides the “structural problems” of our system not supporting the long term viability of third parties. The other problem is “legal”. Over the years citizens of their respective states have allowed the major parties to attain quasi-governmental status. In most states (maybe all that have primaries!) the taxpayers foot the bill for primaries. It’s important to remember these are private organizations, how its leaders etc are picked should be in the members hands and paid for by the members. That’s why I never had an issue with party conventions. I still think its how candidates should be chosen for better or worse. There are all sorts of state laws that embed the major parties into the system and keeps them “alive” usually at taxpayer expense. If they were pushed back into the realm where they were completely private organizations they not only would be more cognizant of the wishes & views of its members. They would be more likely to go out of business and be replaced when they failed to do so.
