The breakdown of party structure before the election was about 40% independent, 30% dem and 30% gop.
If a new party pulls that 1/3 and 1/4 of the independent and a couple % from the dem, it passes the gop and threatens the dem right off the bat.
It could be 30, 28, 23, 19 with gop trailing.
GOP is dead as far as winning national election majorities in congress anyway.
