"It's a 'corporate representative democracy' these days. "

That is true. And it won't change until something is done about the amount of money required to run a campaign. NY23 is a perfect example. Dede got $800k from the RNC for her run. Hoffman got in excess of $3 million to mount his challenge. Dede started to drop when Hoffman started spending that money.

" Fertile ground for a third party, more so than ever in my lifetime."

Preaching to the choir. If the Republicans keep on their present track, it could happen sooner rather than later. But I don't see three parties as being stable, one will go away.
