The Republican vote would be split and the Democrats would win the White House for the next 20 years. At least.

What if President Trump formed a third party?

Trump, like Perot, doesn't really have the background to form a permanent, full-spectrum Third Party. You can't have a Party based on one candidate. Ideally, you'd have 450+ candidates for Congress, and as many as needed for governor. They would have to be people who run real campaigns, and not just place-holders.

It is more practical to keep eliminating the Flakes, Romneys, Ryans, Kinzingers and Cheneys until the remainder join the Democrats, leave the game, have a "conversion" (EVERY group has its imposters), or form their own Third Party (e.g. John B. Anderson).

If you insist on going the 3rd Party route, you are best off starting regionally, perhaps in an area where the Republicans are weak anyway. Caucus with the Republicans for as long as necessary, and slowly beef up until the Republicans caucus with you. Eventually it will go back to Two Parties because of our Winner Take All system.

Democrats would win.

At least for a few cycles.

We'd have politicians in it standing on principle and representing its base and would eventually put the Republican party out of business.

If you want a Trump/MAGA/America First party then vote for such candidates in the Republican primaries.

If such a candidate can’t win a Republican primary there is little chance they could win a general election as a thrid party candidate.

LOL. Some people reading that post, including party activists will get a cardiac.

If we have a third party for conservatives, then the democrats are going to win for the next 100 years, and it will be unlimited spending, and our children will be stolen and brainwashed, and political opponents will be prosecuted in kangaroo courts and we will lose our freedoms and we will have marxism e.t.c.

How well did the Federalist party do after the election of 1800?

[ridesthemiles]

IT would be reported as a 10.7 earthquake.
