At least until Dems take back the congress and a Dem is in the White House.

The problem is they all want to keep the established party and kick the other guys to the curb. Such is the nature of the two-party system. A third party is such a long shot that nobody wants to be on the outside looking in.

I would love to see what you describe primarily so that we can wrest power away from the idiots.

But the bonus would be to force people to make a choice. I would love to see the party split along the fissure between "fiscal conservative corporate friendly" type and the "nationalist anti-immigration anti-muslim" type.

That would leave the evangelicals to decide which parts of the bible they wanted to violate the most.
