A third party is nonsensical. It is a vote to fail.

No the Republican party is held hostage by the same tripe that runs the Democrats, SAME,SAME.
We need to "walk like an Egyptian"
The price for SAMENESS should be severe.

The way the system is currently structured where both parties offer no real choice or representation for conservatives, any vote is a vote to fail. Until such time as a credible third party arises nothing will change.

It is rightly pointed out that a third party will simply divide one block or the other, mostly the Republicans. Be it noted that the Republican Party itself started out as a third party and was not immediately successful. Had a credible third party arisen in 2008 it would have been well on the way to being a majority party in 2016. At which point the the Republicans would go the way of the Whigs in their turn.

The country is already far along the road to civil war, as it was in the 1850's. That trend shows no signs of abating. So long as there is no instrument by means of which the active majority can be obtain government by, for and of the the people the danger of a violent convulsion increases and at some point becomes inevitable.

It's over. Liberty lost and Socialism won. It won decades ago. Watch Friedman's "Free To Choose" - 1980. The government was an enormous cancer even then - 33 years ago - and not even the great Uncle Milty or Ronnie Reagan could save us from it.

No third Party? GARBAGE!
It's not a matter of persuading the Priebusses, McConnells and Boehners of the GOP, it's the deep-pocketed donors who want the status quo. THEY DON'T *WANT* TO CHANGE.

"Changing it from within"....after Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney (...and THEN what...Jeb Bush or Christie?!) is more delusional than starting anew. Not easy, but more realistic.
