Say what you will about a 3rd party approach, the approach of blindly voting “R” has gotten us exactly ... nowhere. The government expands unimpeded, in terms of size, scope, power, and unaccountability. The Republican Party has not even proven itself worthy of being called a “speed-bump”. You cite logic and “mathematics”, but reality and history show something quite different.
Until there is a valid, unified, opposition party this country will continue to be transformed, as it has for 50+ years.
Human Nature will be HUMAN NATURE —
There is absolutely, positively, NO WAY that any Third Party will come up with a “super race” of politicians able to avoid cowardice, corruption, scandal or any other vice or problem.
TAKE OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! That is the only answer.
Any other “Third Party” will have the very same faults as the GOP, as it will be comprised of human beings.
