I will concede that the the GOP doesn’t seem to be worth saving at this point.
But I am physicist by training and I look at the probabilities for success. And, in that light the the odds of a 3rd party overtaking the GOP AND democRATS aren’t good. If history is a guide, 3rd party/indy candidates have done OK, but never really knocked off anyone at the top of the GOP. Perot gave us Clinton, and Nader gave us W.
In order for it (a third party) to succeed you would need to take over (or damned close to it) congress in a single election with a right leaning president who would be willing to work with them. You have someone like the mulatto muslim or Fauxcahontas and you’re toast.
It would literally have to be run like a coup in order to get anywhere close, before the establishment lined up to destroy them. It would need the right candidates line up, in advance, and buckets of money since there is no infrastructure to support it in local government(s). And there is here the 3rd party idea fails.
You would have to start at the town/county level and would take years to build a following and power at the municipal/county levels to influence the state levels to influence the national level.
One has to consider the entire spectrum...not just the pin point.
