I’m all for it. Maybe we get a functioning Republican Party out of it. If not, it will simply mint more Democrats. I’m good with that.

If they split up the party, where will we be? After all, that is why Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 - enough "third party" voters voted for their fringe candidates it gave just enough edge to give critical states to Trump so he had the most electoral votes.

I suspect the Democratic Party would still have the most votes, but that it would be close enough that the 2016 scenario could repeat with the electoral college going a different way than the popular vote.

Which one of these three colors do you like the most?

1. crimson
2. scarlet
3. blue

Result:

crimson - 30%
scarlet - 30%
blue - 40%

Blue wins!

He doesn’t get convicted, he doesn’t split the party and siphon off a lot of votes and donor money. Of course, then he will do whatever the hell he thinks will benefit him the most, but they are in a lose lose position with him.

That way we can split even the Senate and House seats among them.
