Ah, but primarying and third party candidate are not the same, not by a long shot.

I invite you to look at third party candidates who’ve had an effect, for that matter, with the specific question of which primaried, then ran third party.

I really don’t think it’s a worry.

Reagan didn’t run third party, but his attempt to primary Gerald Ford weakened him enough to cost him the general.
