A third party can be created and be successful if it is appealing and can expand the base. The name should be one that everyone could feel is relevant, inclusive, and inviting. Real President Trump would get the majority of the Republican party base to go with him but this is not enough to win the white house.

Serious thought will need to be made on how to take classic Democrat voters. Hispanics would need to be part of that effort but a clear message that resonates with them will need to be made. It would be helpful if we differentiated better the message that we accept your aunt and pappy but not criminals and drug dealers. Traditional values issues have already made and impact on that population.

The young voter is another. disillusioned with traditional organizations creates an opening. They are more libertarian on social issues which is contrary to our party base. A difficult challenge for sure but there is an opening with them on financial issues. Starting with personal finances such as near zero interest student loans instead of forgiveness and national issues such as deficit reduction and spending restraint which has been abandoned by the current Republican party. And a peace not war message

We also need to do a better job reaching out to Muslim populations, be critical to extremist groups yes but open to expanding this voting block by raising moral values issues they hold important.

The African American voter is under the impression they have a financial obligation to the Democrat party. Only when that financial support is gone will they be attracted to another.
