I would guess that if a 3rd party came into existence it would get 8 or 9 out of 10 members from the GOP. You would in effect split the republican vote and have one big Democrat Party and 2 small parties who would always be in the minority. The WH would remain in democrat hands in perpetuity. I'm sure they'd love nothing better than seeing a new 3rd party.
Don't you think that would push the GOP to improve?
Yes, I would hope so. I hear they are more willing now to do something about the immigration problem, we'll see if they really mean it. I'm waiting to see what they do with respect to all the tax increases we're slated to get the first of the year. The economy is going to take a major hit pretty soon if they raise taxes that much.
True, but talking about taxes before getting the budget in order is just politicking.
