I count myself among this group as well. I'm totally finished with spineless pubbies as well. They stopped representing my values and viewpoints by 1996 and I then said enough is enough and decided I could no longer in good conscious keep supporting a party that refused to even remotely represent any of my viewpoints or ideas as a social conservative. They are dead to me.
And the beat goes on and/or the drummer keeps a marching.
In the 59 presidential elections since 1788, third party or independent candidates have won at least 5.0% of the vote or garnered electoral votes 12 times (21%); this does not count George Washington, who was elected as an independent in 1788–1789 and 1792, but who largely supported Federalist policies and was supported by Federalists. Occasionally, a third party becomes one of the two major parties through a presidential election (the last time it happened was in 1856, when the Republicans supplanted the Whigs, who had withered and endorsed the ticket of the American Party): such an election is called a realigning election, as it causes a realignment in the party system; according to scholars, there have been six party systems so far.
Essentially the National elections will be dominated by a two party system.
Once in a while on a state/local level a 3rd party will have some success.
