for a true conservative 3rd party?

NOT to challenge Trump, but to break away from the RNC!!!

the MF'ing RINOs like Romney, Ryan, Sasse, etc, are openly helping Hillary with the election.

how much more of this BS are we going to put up with?!?!

I don't think there are enough true conservatives to tip the scales anymore. Sad, but we've slid off the road and are in the ditch.

Even with a good conservative candidate they'd have to garner support from the middle/moderates and most are not in agreement with truly conservative views.

At this point I think a "conservative" moderate would steamroll in a general election. Things like gay rights, abortion, illegal immigration become dividing issues because they won't admit and say that they are smaller issues. In the bigger picture the real issues don't bring much press, while hot buttons occupy the most air time.

Most people consider only one or two issues to decide who to support. If people would weigh a list of topics they'd find a lot more common ground.

Especially if the Republicans lose the presidential race in November, it's time for a Conservative Party to form. It will probably be a minority party for a while which would focus on local, state, and Federal legislative elections to place traditionally conservative candidates in office.

That's how we regain control of local & state legislatures and state governorships for conservatives. Also a way to regain local control of schools and their curricula, which is now totally controlled by socialists and Communistst. It's this last fact that has most changed the electorate to the left. Just my 2 cents.

School vouchers would go a long way towards curing what ails the USA. Let parents decide what school their kids go to, private, public, religious etc.

Since you include Sasse, I presume you intend for all the pro-Trump fans to switch away?

Already a party out there for ya. No need for a 3rd party.

Our system doesn't allow for a 3d party. It will never win. The only way for it to succeed will require a constitutional amendment that changes the voting to a plurality to win instead of a majority.

You are correct

No.. the system technically does allow for it.

I believe that if nobody wins the necessary number of electoral college votes in the general election, it simply moves on to the House of Representatives to elect the leader from among the 3 top finishers. Each state delegation gets to cast 1 vote.

You can have 20 parties if you like, somebody will still become president.

The Republicans lost the primary. There will be no Republican on the November ballots. Failure to vote Democrat this fall will mean Hillary will win.

Technically, yes. Realistically, though, the 3d party still can't win. It would have to win every state not already dedicated to either D or R and it still wouldn't have a majority. That would throw it into the house where almost every rep is either D or R. The fight would be for who gets each state's vote and it will be either the D or R candidate.

We are not, because it has not started nationwide at the only place it can and possibly survive, grass roots local... get it going there, head it up to statewide and into congress and eventually you can have a viable party...

But putting 3rd party in the next election, 4 more years down the road without a solid foundation, gives us chit every last time.
