I think it’s the beginning of a 3rd party challenge to the democrat and republican establishments.
After all, Todd Palin was formerly a member of the Alaska Independent Party. The AIP gave their endorsement to the Constitution party in 2008. Todd, of course, had switched to repub in support of his wife at a prior, earlier time up in Alaska.
I hope you’re wrong. Anyone thinking “third party” cares not one twit about their country—unless it’s a lefty “third party” of course.
