Could the Reform Party have managed to consolidate and remain (become) ideologically consistent, and at least stay powerful as a third party? Could it have avoided to become a place that was torn apart by personalities such as Perot, Buchanan, and Ventura? And what would it have stood for?
I originally thought that this would prevent the U.S. Taxpayer's Party, which became the Constitution Party, to form. But on second thought, if the Reform Party remains Perotish, it wouldn't have satisfied the far right social conservatism and nativism of Pat Buchanan. So perhaps Pat would have migrated to the Constitution Party.
