It would make a bad situation even worse. As a general rule, partition never works. In India, for instance, it turned extremely bad relations between Hindus and Muslims violent and today the subcontinent is teetering on nuclear destruction.

But I really don't wanna talk about this.

New York Times, 6/8/2016:
Last Night, two of three party nominations were clinched. Vice President Mike Huckabee swept the Terminal Tuesday states, easily clinching the Democratic nomination over Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold and Illinois Representative Dan Lipinski. On the AIP side of things, Sen. Ted Cruz clinched it, beating rival Sen. Mike Lee in every state but Colorado. Among the GOP, things are a tossup, with Sen. Howard Dean winning California and Washington, Gov. John Huntsman winning Arkansas and Louisiana, and Gov. Charlie Baker winning Rhode Island. In Colorado, the crucial state, things were to close to call, with ballots still being counted at press time, with all three candidates neck to neck.

And a possible running mate for Democrat Mike Huckabee. And note that Bill Clinton was a GOP governor (it'd be more likely that Bill stayed with the DP and Hillary with the GOP). Either the DP is very different - unlikely given most of the others on that list, or Huckabee's very different.

There's got to be interesting POD behind this lovely "mess".

Huckabee is somewhat different, as is Santorum. A big chunk of the Evangelical vote is still Democratic (the rest is AIP). The Dems are the socially conservative, fiscally left, hawkish party. The GOP is largely "soft-libertarian." The AIP is basically the Tea Party without what few grounding influences they had. And Bill Clinton joined the GOP because most southern GOPs are irrelevant rump parties (outside of minority areas and some more cosmopolitan cities/burbs), so there was a less competitive primary. Rodham (as she's called TTL) is in the social liberal caucus of the Dems. As for the differences between the parties, a lot of the membership is similar, but different wings dominate the party. The Eastern Establishment rules the GOP, and the unions of the Upper Midwest and bosses of the south still drive the Democrats.

Wait, a Christian Democrat and hawkish Democratic party, Libertarian GOP, and a far-right wing 3rd party?

This is like No Southern Strategy

OK, guys, I've been thinking, and it would be best for me to can this TL at this juncture. It feels a little tired and derivative of better works, and I just don't think anything beyond what I have is really clicking. I have a couple other (better) ideas floating around, though, so stay tuned for those.
