Logical. But - very difficult to achieve. Probably that would require some sort of parlamentary system in place of present one with very strong President.

Even under a parliamentary system there still seems to be some sort of barrier at 30% of the vote or so before you can really start making an impact as a centrist 3rd party. Just look at the British Lib Dems, with 7.5% of the vote (more than all 3rd parties combined in the US election) and only 12/650 seats.
