Just out of curiosity, if there were a third party why would all the lost votes come from the GOP? First, I'm not sure that the Democrats have earned that kind of loyalty. But if true, it's sending a signal to the GOP to change things in ways that they wouldn't find themselves disadvantaged by a new, third party if one was formed. Stuff like establishing a platform that wasn't so regionally, ethnically, religiously, economically, or age-centric. Might be a start for "the party of NO".
