The only way a third party can survive in the long term would be to replace one of the two existing main parties. Last time this happened was during the late 1850s when the Republican party displaced the Whig Party which cracked due to various opinions on slavery, and few other reasons.

So if a moderate party was to rise in the coming years and decades, hypothetically, my guess is that the Republican party would be left behind unless they start to change some core attitudes on issues that millennials and the generation after them wont agree with, like with environment and taxes.
