I mean, assuming there ARE folks who currently hold their nose to vote Trump Republican due to 1 or 2 issues that makes them NEVER consider a Dem (Abortion, Guns, Soshalizm, etc)...

If that is really true (I personally maintain that you can't be a "moderate" and be okay with something like child separation or cosigning Nazis, so I just don't think they exist like that)...

but assuming for a second that moderates exist

Then theoretically a 3rd party could make some noise right now. If Repugs like Powell, Kasich, Haley, Huntsman, Romney, etc used their clout and connections to start a new party that is basically what the GOP claimed to be years ago...and nabbed some folks like Bloomberg, Manchin, etc?

Basically, the GOP has moved so far to the right it seems like a 3rd party could actually gain some ground in the middle. They certainly haven't left any room on the right.


And lets be honest, most of those people want to be President or something close. So the fact that this idea is outlandish is kind of crazy, because it shows that party....in the face of outright racism/sexism/fascism even...is not only more important than country and alleged morals (lol), but also personal ambition.

Crazy


But yeah, fuck Bloomberg.
