      I suppose, but every time there’s been a third party candidate that has gained any traction, he’s been terrible. Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader… even Donald Trump himself made a third party attempt in 2000 and got a lot further than he should have.

      And then there’s the Libertarians.
