They are all going to glom onto whatever nutjob is annointed.

I doubt they will support a third party run. Without party backing, he wouldn't even be on the ballot in enough states to matter.

The best bet is to let them have a mini civil war in their party. That will piss off a bunch of them and maybe they will just not vote for potus.
