@abaris, we really do need a viable 3rd (and 4th) party in this country. Ideally, the few semi-rational GOP people who recognize the Tea Party monstrosity they've allowed to fester within their party, leading to Trump, will break away. Similarly, the progressives on the left will break from the DNC establishment. We could theoretically have a system with:
Progressives
Mainstream Democrats
Old school economic/foreign policy Republicans (perhaps even aligned/absorbed into the Democrats if it follows the Obama and Clinton platforms)
Tea Party
Now, I'm definitely not expecting that to happen. I give it a <1% chance. But, man, I'd love to see some drama at the conventions for once. Something more memorable than Clint Eastwood talking to a chair.
