Republicans split in two??

I always thought what if for some reason in the 20th Century that the Republican Party split into two Parties? With the Bible thumbers in the Christian Democrats and more liberal part of the Republicans form the American Conservative Party.

How would this three Party System have effected US Politics??

Probably a lot more Democractic administrations, congresses and state legislatures. Don't think things work well with three parties in the Electoral College where, in many instances, winner takes all.

2 parties will be left standing when it is all done. The Republicans may split, but the Democrats will likely absorb one, while the other Republican split will survive and pull some block out of the Democrat's base.

The American Conservatives will likely join with the Dems or at least caucus with them.
