If the kabal of billionaires that want to continue Open Borders and bring in more guest workers put their p money together, I think they could find a decent moderate like Jim Webb and finance him to win the election this fall.

What do you all think?
 
Not yet, but in four years? Very possible. We might be seeing the end of career politics.
 
Our system makes it impossible for a third party candidate to win unless he gets 51% of the vote.

If the GOP even exists in four years, they will have become a new party. That disorganized pile of crap, as it exists now won't survive much longer.

No, but they can derail Trump with Johnson running on the Libertarian ticket.

The Libertarian party got over 1.2 million votes during the last general election, and those like me will be voting for Johnson this cycle so that number could grow.

A Third Party Candidate can only be a spoiler at this point, and I love the crazy notion you believe Webb will run third party when there is no way he would do that...

I read that after Nixon and the Reagan won... I read that after George W. Bush and now the House and Senate is held by the Republicans...

So why is it that when things get a little crazy the left write the obituary for the Republican Party when the reality is the Democratic Party only hold the White House?

Win and hold the House, Senate and White House for more than a few years and come and tell me how the Republican Party is dead because I have yet to see the death happen...

No, it's not dead yet, but from all the infighting it will be soon.

Nah, once this election cycle is done and Trump hand Hillary Clinton a landslide victory in November those supporting Trump will be licking their wounds and looking for the next Charlatan that will sell them piss water while believing it is a miracle cure and while all that is going on they will vote straight ticket GOP...

Dude, you are such a joke.

Presidents can win with pluralities in just enough states to take an Electoral College majority.

Sheesh, 7th graders know that much!

Stop buying your crack from the dealer you are using. I think he is cutting it with Draino.

Well if I am on crack then I hate to imagine what the hell you are smoking...

The reality is no third party candidate can win a General Election with the two party system this country has at this point, and Trump is not going to win a General Election, so I feel confident you tell me how wrong I am on the last part...

Remember I am not naive to believe Johnson will win a National Election but if it keep Trump from winning while not voting for Clinton, well my job is done!

Well, the catch is that once they started winning, they werent third party anymore, like the Republican Party itself, which used to be a thrid party.
