    A third party in the US would just replace one of the 2 existing parties so within one or two election cycles we’d be back to two anyway. And with the way the parties are acting currently it would probably be the Republican party to collapse and be replaced.

      And with the direction the Republican base is going, whatever party replaces the GoP is probably gonna think Hitler’s biggest problem was his accent.

        Yes, this 58% Republican support isn’t “Libertarians” finally smartening up and realizing the neocons want a police state, it’s Trumpers who want the Trump Dynasty.
