Support for a third party grows among Republicans: NPR

Seems that the Trumpers are the majority and growing in number on the dark side. I'm all for splitting votes on the right, but it's repugnant that the fascists are in a stronger position than the moderates.

While I detest the current state of the GOP, I know that our country will be in a better place of we have two same parties again. It's been a long time since that was the case.

wins a couple of states and no one gets a majority of electors, the House chooses the president from one of the parties and the Senate the vice-president. We could end up with a president that only got say 10% of the popular vote.
