Speak for yourself. Trump has good ideas but his administration has zero administrative talent or capability. We would have much firmer checks on illegal immigration for example if they actually knew how to write an executive order. A Trump led third party would just devolve into another Reform Party debacle.
And my parents were Reform Party organisers and supporters, and I was raised campaigning on the streets for Ross Perot as a little kid. It was still admittedly a debacle because it helped Clinton win, even if I still believe in a lot of the principles. The Reform Party had a real attempt at organisation from a real organiser and leader, and it still failed.
So. Trump’s chosen candidate would get elected Governor of Florida a couple of times and maybe a few rural Congressional districts in deep red areas would flip for a few sessions of congress, and then the whole thing would collapse. And in the meantime the dems would run up huge majorities and do whatever they wanted.
Trump is a much less capable leader and man than Ross Perot was. I wish I could merge his talent for crowds and marketing with Perot’s talent for leadership, intelligence, policy and organisation, though. Then you’d have me on a third party.
