Dear Shady,
Ross Perot attempted exactly that. He received 1,974.3821 votes in 1992 as an independent and 8,085,294 in 96 with the reform party. Trump got involved in 2000. But did not stay the course. The party received only 448,895 votes. With the green party picking up 2,882,955. It is an interesting study. (And it highlights that Trump is not a bigot or a conservative.) The main fallout was that the Conservatives spent their most successful decade tearing each other apart. As a result, there are very few truly conservative politicians on the National scene. Those on the State level are risking their careers by running for President.
