With a 3rd party when the country is almost evenly divided, 2 of the 3 have to have an agreement that one doesn’t intend to win, like Perot did in the 1992 election.
Perot had no intention of winning his objective was to keep Bush from winning.
Run 3rd party on the right it divides the right. Both actually want to win and will do everything they can to win.
Left wing freaks, if they move to the right at all, would go for the more moderate of the 2 on the right.
You would end up with a McCain or Romney type at best and doubtful even that.
Hillary can buy the black vote by supporting reparations for slavery, which she already did in 2002.
So, conservatives scoot out the GOPe leadership or that’s it?
