One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

    Gods save us from the enlightened centrists who somehow perceive both parties as the same.

    Even if this pustulant third party managed to win the White House they’d have zero support from either chamber. They’d be completely ineffective at governing.

      For at least one of the two parties currently in control… that would be ideal.
