[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The weakest argument against the no labels party is that it is simply going to elect Biden or elect Trump.  There is so much time left and if enough support was generated now, the country could achieve what over 70% of the people really want and vote:  NONE OF THE ABOVE[/quote]
The strongest argument that No Labels is only in this to elect Trump is that it’s full of Republican donors.[/quote]

Yeah right because Hogan Manchin and Romney along with Lieberman are such huge Trump supporters. I wish there were 5 or 6 different political parties. [/quote]
+1 If they were to sooner than later actually put forth a viable candidate with a stated platform and official announcement of their 2024 candidacy, all that will matter is how attractive or unattractive that candidate and platform are relative to Trump and Biden. Considering Trump and Biden's obvious weaknesses as candidates, it is certainly reasonable to assume a [b]moderate, well-qualified, fit for office candidate with some name recognition [/b]could garner enough support to mount a serious challenge to Trump and Biden. Until they have an actual candidate in the race, debating the potential of this 3rd party is silly. If a strong 3rd party candidate surfaces, I won't discount them and I won't shout down voters that give them serious consideration. If the R and D parties had stronger candidates, this conversation wouldn't be necessary.[/quote]

Is there anyone specific you are thinking of?[/quote]
Good question. There are current and former state governors that would be more attractive than Trump or Biden to a large segment of voters such as Whitmer and Hogan. Whitmer seems committed to her attachment with Democratic Party for a likely future run on their ticket as is presumably the case with many other electable politicians that are currently on the sidelines. Hogan needs to run soon before his age becomes a negative factor but a 2024 run seems less and less likely for him as each day passes. Then there are people like Hillary, Gore, and Romney that are younger than Biden and Trump but seemingly they've have realized their running for president days are behind him. For a 3rd party to be successful in 2024, a moderate politician with big name recognition would have to effectively split from their current party with an announcement to run very, very soon. I can't think of any that are likely to do that but I hope I'm wrong because it would make for a very interesting 2024 race. No labels or any other 3rd party with an unknown to most candidate is or would be a waste of time.[/quote]

Is it possible that Hogan and Whitmer are perceived as being more “moderate” because they don’t have to deal with the intense scrutiny that POTUS does?  You like them (and others) because Fox News isn’t relentlessly criticizing them.  I honestly believe that the moderate you are seeking is Joe Biden.  If he loses the 2024 election, he will concede to ensure an orderly transfer of power.  If he wins, he will step down after 4 years in accordance with the 22nd amendment.  Trump will do neither of these things.[/quote]
