Also: Will McMullin join forces with the UUP. If he did, would it bolster them to (more) success?

UUP will gain at least 3 state reps, 1 state senator, and get 5%+ in the 2018 senate race.  They won't fade away imo.

I think Bennett will get at least 5% in the special election.

I really hope it succeeds as an example for the nation.

I think I read that they're conservative on social issues but liberal on economic, but I might be wrong. Also, if McMullin does join forces with the UUP, they could have a shot at a senate seat depending on who the Republicans nominate.

He'd win over Orrin Hatch

And they seem pretty middle of the road on just about everything.

I believe they’re the opposite. They are socially liberal and fiscally conservative

They're socially conservative, mostly.

Sorry, just saw this.

Yeah, I guess "socially liberal" isn't a correct description. They seem to be like those kind of Republicans that are just slightly more moderate on certain issues but don't really separate themselves.

If the UUP ever went national, I wonder what they'd call themselves... maybe the American Unity Party or the American Liberty Party?

Or what about just the United America Party?

It's similar to the Serve America Movement but state-focused and less likely to succeed IMO.

I'd say at best a member of the House one day. More than likely a few State Senators.

Decent chance they become a rising force in Utah politics, imo.

They had an ok start in 2018 I feel, but if they want to be more relevant, they need to get their name out there and improve their name recognition significantly.

The reason George Wallace was so successful over previous southern third party tickets was that he had a relatively more national message. For UUP to mean anything in a presidential election, they'll have to go beyond the Mormon voting bloc and appeal to someone else. Say, moderates, social conservatives, free trade Republicans, whoever gets left out of whatever coalition stabilizes post-Trump. I suspect social conservatives will be tossed to the curb, because to survive, the GOP has to branch out to minorities or white social liberals. I see the latter as more likely.
