Trump.
Legitimate.
I respectfully disagree. But as long as the States remain united, there will probably be no end to the two-party system.
Minor parties can be very successful under a parliamentary system, where a party with 1% of the votes gets 1% of the parliament. In the event no party has a majority, parties can form a coalition government.
This is impossible in the US because the party that gets 49% of the votes gets nothing. That’s why third-party candidates never win, and only succeed in splitting the vote of the party their followers like. (Teddy Roosevelt might be an exception, I’m not up on that.)
The US system is just a completely different game. A strategy that wins in Bridge is of no use in Poker, even if both games use cards and put money at stake.
