Because tracks don't appear out of thin air. For all the people screaming "where's the third track?," it is never going to appear unless those people start building tracks before the train arrives at the junction.
The time to start talking about and working to legitimize a third-party candidate isn't the election cycle; that work has to be done in advance.
I'm not suggesting spinning up a third party, just wondering why reasonable people don't see the opportunity to register Republican and give Trump the boot. I gave it a shot, but it seems like no one else had the same idea.
The problem is that it would have to be an entire movement. And you’d need to all back the same non-Trump candidate. Without that unity it’s spinning wheels in the mud.
