That strategy got us Obamacare.Let me remind everyone again, you vote for president based on what justice and judge nominees you ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT STAND! Meaning you vote against the person most likely to nominate those who, in our case, are NOT STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST.
This precludes any support for a 3rd candidate who will take votes away from the conservative candidate. They give you the worst possible outcome. It's not full proof but you know that the left will absolutely do the unthinkable to the judiciary if they have the chance.
President can unite or divide people. They can cause people to unite around ideas but they do not have the power people think. Thru congress abdication of their power the judiciary and the realities of handpicking judges who will rule how they want like people pick cute dogs this is where we are at.
You want to change laws regarding the power agencies have to regulate, that requires you to elect proper reps and senators. You have other ways to pressure a president after you elected him.
And electoral college. Familiarize yourself with it.
