For good or ill, a two party system is the norm in most modern democracies because it offers the greatest political efficiency. When one of the two major parties falters, it may seem to open up political space to a new party, but that is rarely the case due to the great difficulty in forming a new party and the ability of the incumbent parties to adapt their program and message to compete with any new party that threatens to become effective.

In sum, unless fully embraced and led by Trump, any effort at a new conservative political party would be a nonstarter. Even then, if Trump led the new party effort, it would still be a hard sell unlikely to prevail. The end result would almost certainly be a defeat for conservatives like the election of Wilson in 1912 due to the Republican party splitting between Taft and Roosevelt.

It’s hard to imagine that a new party would get the kind of majority in that it wouldn’t ultimately have to form a coalition with one of the other parties.

Which essentially is what we already have within the GOP itself.

The idea is to make the Conservatives the dominant faction of the GOP.

You’re right...it’s history, it’s commonsense.

I stupidly voted for Perot and we got Clinton. Lesson learned. PEOPLE...DON’T CUT YOU’RE NOSE OFF. THINK!
