That's not how it works. The moment you create a third party (much less a fourth, a fifth, etc.), it means all a party has to do is get the largest plurality so they drive splits between the folks who oppose them. Clinton's campaign deliberately egged on Perot's campaigns in both '92 and '96 to split the non-Democrat vote and it worked. What got us where we are today was the fact the non-Democrats can't help sniping at each other while the Dems hold firm in their unity. In primary debates, you rarely see Dems snipe at each other, they just compete for who can call the Republicans the worst names. In GOP primary debates, the candidates actually snipe at each other (while the Dems sit back and giggle).
