re: Will a 3rd Party rise to prominence?

The only way would be over a long series of time starting small and rolling from state to state. We are talking election cycle after election cycle of small gains. I almost equate it to the only way for State and Ole miss to become big programs

The problem is that as soon as a third party gets momentum, one of the big parties will just co-opt their message.

I think there would have to be some sort of monumental american catastrophe to bring about that kind of change.

It would take three things in order to happen.

1 - An incredible amount of money. Literally a couple of billion dollars that could be, without harassment or question, be put into building the political machine.

2 - An incredible personality, on a federal level, that could endear a large segment of our populace to the new party's philosophy.

... or, #3. Number three would be doable by forgetting the first two and simply staging a military or revolutionary coup on some level, forcibly.

You could start by dismantling the organization that determines who is allowed to participate in debates, which is owned and operated by the Democratic and Republican parties.

You could ... but it would be like free speech, it would open up everything to tons of bullshite from a 1000 different directions and there would be unintended consequences.

Why does Rand always choose to debate with the GOP? If he really wanted to make headway, why not debate with the Libs?

Why did Perot debate with the GOP?

Why did Nader debate with the GOP?

Walker/Rubio ticket has promise.

Promise for what?

Not sure when politards like yourself are going to understand it doesn't matter if the red team wins or the blue.

Promise for change and promise for the ability to reverse some of the damage that's been done.

Not sure when little snot-nosed fricktards like yourself are going to understand everything matters, one way or the other, there will always be consequences. But when it comes to politics you always choose the lesser of evils with the hope they will frick up less shite than the obvious bad choice.

You don't get it.

Fortunately, a lot of people are getting it.

Red and blue team have the same agenda, grow government in unison with transnational corporations, while keeping the wheels turning for the banking cabal.

If a Billionaire cared enough to spend all their money on the cause until a grassroots effort could sustain an election...then maybe

But it would take an extremely bold and motivated individual

Ross Perot
Ralph Nader
Monty Brewster

Barring a monumental disaster, no. The two dominant parties work together to keep the status quo. This red/blue bullshite is just to rally cheerleaders who somehow think they are different from the other guys.
