Just my 2 cents but, as soon as The GOP can rid their party of the stereotypical birthers and truthers, "they're coming for your guns," nutter's, racist and bigoted minority, the Cruz, Bachmann, Limbaugh thinkers and Palin types, and replace their ranks with socially liberal voters and fiscal conservatives, who are less bent on dividing the masses by use of ludicrous propaganda, we can kiss the Democrat party good-bye for a long time, (until the pendulum returns anyways.)
My opinion is that America is ready for that. A third party won't do any good. ( A fart in a whirlwind.) The GOP needs to get back to what it use to be, once upon a time. Before the whacko hijacking.
I do agree if the GOP got back to say, Eisenhower times, they would pull a lot of voters away from Dems. 1956 Republican platform:
Provide federal assistance to low-income communities
Protect Social Security
Provide asylum for refugees
Extend minimum wage
Improve unemployment benefit system so it covers more people
Strengthen labor laws so workers can more easily join a union
Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of sex
