We went through the exact same exercise with the Tea Party during the Obama era. Some of these “third party” candidates will be elected to Congress, maybe form their own caucus, maybe piss off the Speaker on a few inconsequential votes… but then ultimately they’ll just continue to vote with the GOP 98% of the time and nothing of any consequence will change.
This won’t fragment the right wing one bit.
