My bet is that once we get a viable third party candidate, it will not be a matter of a 34% to 33% to 33% vote. It will be more like a 50% to 27% to 23% vote. Even if it is as close as you believe it would be, I don't think the remaining 66% would be so disenfrachised as to want to leave the country. That's the whole point of a third party...a middle-ground.

I agree. There are likely millions of American voters who are disgusted with what's happening at both extremes of the political spectrum.
