This was posted yesterday. Kurt Schlichter is out to lunch on this one. This piece might have been credible in 2009, but not anymore. In the 12 years since then we have seen too many betrayals by the GOP to take his “don’t split the conservative vote” bleating seriously. I’ll offer three irrefutable examples of this:

1. Lying to voters and defrauding the party’s donors for more than seven years with its endless promises to repeal Obamacare.

2. Rigging primaries in favor of RINO/Swamp candidates over TEA Party candidates (see Mississippi 2014 as a perfect example).

3. Openly campaigning for Democrats in critical elections (Alabama in 2017, for example).

We have no reason to trust the Republican Party anymore, Kurt.

A third party could flock unlucky Americans (and Illegals) to the new “SERF PARTY”.

“by the GOP”

A lie.

You take the actions of some and blame all, as if all others than those with the power to act agreed with the results YOU claim was EVERYONE in office in the GOP’s fault.

You ignore all the GOP office holders who actually agree with you. So you would just abandon them instead of joining and working harder with, and strengthing them. No you would leave and make them weaker.

This piece might have been credible in 2009, but not anymore.

That's so correct...these, "a third party can't work...look what happened when Ross Perot ran" yappers don't seem to understand that president Trump received more votes than any incumbent in history.
Comparing Perot's 1992 Independent party campaign with Donald Trump is a fools errand...different time, different people and the three irrefutable examples of GOP sellout you post are reasons for another third party shot.

Plus, I don't recall ever the disgust that so many Republicans have with the establishment GOP.
