Incommando Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Another election cycle has passed and I cannot find one shred of evidence for a third party candidate winning any post of more than local significance. I have googled extensively. As this is a national forum if someone could point me to a race where a 3rd party candidate won a race of any importance would you please do so & I can then research it? I am not looking for an argument pro or con but just the places to look. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 There are two U.S. Senators who were not elected as Democrats or Republicans, rather as independents (small i). Both of those gentlemen won a significant office without the 2 major parties. Does this count as a 3rd party? Or are you looking for someone actually claiming to be a specific party name, i.e. "Green Party/American Independent Party/etc."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 They say they are independent but they vote in lock step with the democrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 They say they are independent but they vote in lock step with the democrats. This. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck I don't care if it calls itself a pigeon it is a duck. Yes, a recognized third party is what I am looking for: Libertarian, Green, Socialist, Constitution...something like that. Still not having much luck.

dasbulliwagen Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Don't forget the RINO's "Republican in name only". I wish they were easier to identify so we can get rid of them too. Like McCain and Christie. And if they nominate Romney again or any other flip flopper for 2016 I think I may just have a fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It will be walker nominated...it won't be ryan, he is going to be nice and comfy ranked roughly 3rd in DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 If by RINO's you mean that they so not let mythology rule their life I disagree. If you mean people who are not fiscally conservtive I agree. Rabid theocrats are killing the party with new voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
