Now is the time to start a replacement party. Things are much worse than when the Republicans replaced the Whigs as the opposition party. There is nothing to lose. We'll have the few remaining good Republicans switch to the new party and then the Republicans can decide if they want to split the vote or allow our guys to go unchallenged by them.
We can force that exact same decision by taking over the GOP.
3rd Party sounds nice for a lot of reasons I agree with, but this fight requires cold calculations and our chances of success are greater by using the existing infrastructure.
The Party is just a shell; it's the people who matter and we've got the numbers.
That sounds like trying to preserve the Whigs in 1860. It was just a shell.
The entire electoral process is so much more complicated now and it requires a lot of time and money to get a new party off the ground; two things we don't have right now.
The amount of work just to get on every State's ballots in time is daunting in itself. I've seen this first hand with the Libertarian Party, an established 3rd party with more than 20 million members.
Look, I'd rather go with a 3rd Part (I've never even been a Republican), but the surer path to victory is the GOP. We need to be focusing our efforts on other fronts than building a Party infrastructure.
