Not really though. Let's look at every time where the Democrats or Republicans become more popular, you then end up with a breakaway candidate who could help explore that difference better, but instead that very process means the less popular ideological faction wins because the most popular became too popular to stand behind one candidate. It happened with Nader, it happened with Perot.
