    The emergence of a third party is among us'... ...Lincoln Project Co-Founder Rick Wilson

    'The emergence of a third party is among us' - Interview with Lincoln Project Co-Founder Rick Wilson.

    "The info text says:
    Joe Biden won the US presidential election with 306 electoral votes. But incumbent President Donald Trump has yet to concede, and the Republican Party seems to be at a crossroads after four years of Trumpism. What direction will the GOP take going forward?
    The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson offers a very bleak outlook into the GOP's future. He says 'the Republican party has sold out itself to Trump' and what follows Trump will be more dangerous, because it will be more sophisticated."

    If American Conservatives want to split themselves into two political parties, then please let them. They won't see power again for decades until they reunite. I would love to see it happen.

    Having followed the Lincoln Project in the media and some of its leaders, I would not call them conservatives. They are centrists.

    The 'problem' with the potential in Rick Wilson's words "The emergence of a third party is among us..." is that it would not be a Radical alternative to the politics-as-usual we have had ever since 1877 - when the Duopoly in the United States began. Indeed the bi-partisan party bosses {i.e., the RNC & the DNC} have been in cahoots for a long time.

    In my humble opinion, the Populist Party of the late nineteenth century - with its money planks - represented one alternative to the dominion of Wall Street & the "Bi-partisan Party Bosses"; and the Progressive Party of 1924 {the party of Robert LaFollette, Sr.< represented another such alternative. But Rick Wilson's potential "third party" would be the fusion "Party of the Center" par excellance - representing the objectives & policies of the Rockefeller Center -> not the Radical Center.
