re: #48 Belafon

Teddy Roosevelt set a pretty good precident for this.

Very different times. And the GOP was legitimately split over the issue of tariffs and protectionism (funny that, just a century later). But the only states that Wilson carried with a majority were former confederate states. Only three other states were won with a majority.

1912 was much closer to what 1992 could have looked like had Perot not shown himself to be crazy. But the truth is, we’ve had very few elections in the US with viable third party candidates and they’ve been so very far between it’s almost impossible to say what effect they would have on a general election
