It's not hard to imagine (decades from now) a third or fourth party gaining traction at the national level. Enough to peel away 10-20% percent from Democrats could easily hand power back to the Republican Party in that scenario.

I've seen those bastards lose too many times and everyone celebrate about how they are finished then bam!, they currently have their largest majority ever in the House and took back the Senate.
