Very interesting. Looks like the America Party is being created for Trump. Republicans are RINOS

It won't work without a Trump endorsement. The system, whether purposefully set up that way or not, is 'winner-take-all'. This is why no 3rd party has ever gained any steam in the US. We don't form coalition governments like the Euros; we're not set up that way. One or the other party would have to crash and the American party take its place - like the fall of the Whig party.
Perot had the best shot - I loved that guy - and he was right - there was a giant sucking sound of jobs out of the US - but after some weirdness, he didn't get any states. He got some counties, but that doesn't cut it. And did Perot end Bush and make Clinton by splitting the conservative vote?
This will probably split the Republican party and make it a non-player, so I'm cautious about any enthusiasm for it. We cannot afford to let the communists win by having their opposition split.
I thought Perot had the right idea. I used to wonder if he was put up to split the Rs as you suggest. There's also the possibility he had a real shot at winning, and as an outsider the DS couldn't allow that and Perot was blackmailed into capitulation. Arkancide was quite popular at the time.
This is SO well stated, and perfectly reflects my feelings, HB77...and TY for laying that out. Also like you, I was a tremendous Perot supporter and yes, "threw away my vote" by voting for the man. I was really taken with him, and I think he could've been a Trump-like reformer...though likely not on the scale of what we have now with Trump. ;)
I'm fully expecting Trump to endorse, and be the head of, the America Party
