Even if just 5% of Boomer Republicans don't vote with us, maybe just because they are ignorant/uninformed, then the Dems easily win the vote between the three candidates.

WHAT AM I MISSING??

[edit: People are responding but no one is addressing my point:

In a race with 3 candidates form 3 parties... R, D, P... the D's will win.

So far everyone is just saying "who cares?" "Burn it down!"

Don't you realize Leftists will join you in these chants and suggestions?

I can only think of one way this works. Take 80% of Republicans, 20% of Dems, and win the independents. You would need a hybrid platform that was able to achieve this. With Trump having support of the majority of Republican voters and with the Left moving way left and leaving people behind, I guess it’s possible...but it’s a stretch. In my opinion, that’s a long, long game...rather than just start primarying all of the week Republicans. He already controls the Republican Party so I don’t see how creating a 3rd party isn’t a lot more work and a lot less uncertainty. Only way it works is if it has appeal to Republicans and Democrats.
