It’s always the same thing on both sides. Republicans didn’t want to start a new party when the tea party people popped up as it would split the R vote. Democrats don’t want to create a new party as it will split the D vote. The only way to get an additional viable party would be for both D and R to split and add two new parties simultaneously. So, as someone who will never vote R, I sure hope all of those “sane republicans” I keep hearing about start their own new party.
