Who is it going to pull votes from?
What has happened in the near future is tht 3r parties have hurt Democratic candidates much more than GOP candidates. In close elections you don't have to pull many voters to a different side to sideline a party. Will Edolf pull more from the GOP. One might think yes and hope yes but right now we don't know because he has a concept of a party.
