You are not addressing the issue. I agree that running an establishment candidate is a losing strategy but even in a Ted Cruz-Hillary election if Trump runs as third party:
(a) Trump will not win
(b) Hillary will win
And that will be it for America.

It’s already it for America because the corportists in beltway GOP have shown they are happy to assist the Dems installing the progressive agenda. There is absolutely no indication that will change regardless of the outcome of 2016.

Trump is a disrupting the status quo. Therefore, it’s impossible to project what may happen in a 3 party race because there never has been a celebrity POTUS candidate like him. Reagan’s candidacy might be the closest comparison to Trump. How did that turn out for us?

there never has been a celebrity POTUS candidate like him.(Trump)

I do not know if you were around in 1992 but that year the buzz for Perot was much bigger than it is now for Trump. Perot seemed a lot more serious to voters than Trump does now. Even after Perot did squirrely stuff like dropping out of the race then getting back in, he got 19% of the vote. The result was Clinton 43%, Bush 38%, Perot 19%. You can bet that most of the Perot vote came out of Bush’s total so if not for him we would never had to suffer through all the damage Clinton did. And Clinton did a hell of a lot of damage, selling our missile secrets to the Chinese, registering millions of illegals with his motor voter and I could go on.
