Let's create the 3rd party- the Pragmatic party.

The American electorate doesn’t have the attention span nor nuance needed for a 3rd party to be accepted.

Trump is essentially creating a "3rd Party"; he's co-opting the Republican Party and therein the de-facto creation of a 'never-Trump' Faction/'Party'.

Hell, just the other day some high-up political Strategist was positing the idea of pitting a POTUS Candidate (like Romney, Kasich, etc.) against Trump in States that he only won by a marginal vote. The right Candidate would supposedly siphon off just enough for Trump to lose. I think it was Rush that commented on this scenario.

Honestly, I think the volatile and feeling-based Dems are more likely to overreact to the inner-Party inflammatory bombs that Trump will be lobbing that the Conservatives. Trump has the Aces. By this time next year (Declass, etc.) the whole dynamic will be 180.

Trump is the leader.

What's our platform?

I want to name the GOP - the Grand Old Constitution Party - and let the GOPe go find a 3rd party to house their extra-constitutional desires.

If third parties had a realistic chance of success...bernie wouldn't have been a Democrat during the 2016 election.

If trump were to head up a third party... it wouldn't really have a footprint. All massive social media platforms would erase all traces of it..except for trump on Twitter. All msm wouldn't mention it..aside from maybe labeling it a hate group.

The traction of this potential third party would be less than the green party, imo.

This third party wouldn't even be able to buy political ads. Well, they could buy some slots on the oan network. But, the bit networks wouldn't sell them slots.
