We may do better with a third party, but not if it’s American AfD, which is no doubt what Emon would model.

Moderate-to-severe symptoms.

Isn’t the issue with the third party (main for the presidential election) that if the the third party did grab some electoral votes, then nobody would get to 270 and it would go to the House?

To siphon votes from one of the main parties, as Perot did.

Yes, but I am saying that’s the long term risk. Why have a party if your goal is not to win states? To win the presidency?

Unlikely as 3rd party would have to win entire states to do that.

Ross Perot did well at 19% but did not win a single state. He did likely pull more from Bush than Clinton.

See 1992.
