I can tell you that 3rd parties are relatively ineffective from personal experience onyx. Up here parties outside the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP have very little influence.

But what category would a primary challenge to a republican president in 2016 fall into? Would it be a 3rd party or a movement in the GOP? that is what's not clear to me..

Mark Levin said Reagan did this, but I didn't hear what President he went up against...

Nothing is clear to me right now. It’s late. I’m tired and I can’t think right now. I’m drinking tea trying to catch a second wind.

Reagan, to my knowledge (I was quite young), ran within the Republican Party. He wasn’t from the establishment wing. He belonged to the Goldwater anti establishment wing. I don’t think he ever ran a true third party campaign (as in outside the two main parties).
