Yes and no. But it might be the best thing for this country moving forward. The Democratic party have used this country as a laughing stock for several years, starting with Harry Reid.

Not now, but I believe one should be started between presidential elections (not during).

It has been ready but through the establishment interference we have been held to two. It is also the professional fundraisers that have been able to keep a third party at bay. When we get corporate money out of politics and allow the individual vote to be truly counted a third party would upset the apple cart to such a degree that our "representatives" will actually work for us.

I identify the “establishment” as special interest groups to the Left, and big business to the Right; and all the political class that panders to these groups for their own power.

Yes. The political wisdom answer of the last 20 years is “No.” You would be just throwing your vote away.

After looking at this the last 20 years: I don’t believe that political wisdom answer holds water anymore. If a 3rd conservative party was started… say at the begging of the Clinton or Obama Presidencies we would be no better or worse. We would still have suffered through 8 years of each; and at the end of that time there would be a mechanism (the 3rd party) that would then be established to take on all these life time politicians. I am sick of them all.

Who asked the question: When shall we be stronger? It is a good question that deserves an honest answer.
