Generally yes because third party candidates don't have wildly different positions on most of the issues. It tends to be on ONE issue and the rest are fairly comparable. Ross Perot being the only exception really. But what you've got now is a group of people thinking that core things are wrong.
The Trump Wing believes in Protectionism, Isolationism, and the more extreme wing of them thinks the Constitution can't work in multicultural nation. Hence the "muh constitution" memes.

Yep, they are becoming a party that never do their homework. I was reminded of this today, watching a documentary about the upcoming environmental disaster of California's drought: 21 years of water shortage so far, and set to get worse this year. Failing crops, cattle that can't be maintained: it'll take extraordinary measures to avoid disaster, but are the GOP investigating solutions? No, they are preparing their next speeches about space lasers and planning to block infrastructure spending.

Congress is only allowed to do things in the United States when a crisis happens. I don't blame them, honestly, I blame the voters. A proactive Congress would be voted out immediately.
