Count Me Among Them

The only way I see a third party making any headway is if we go to public financing. Now both parties are sown up by special interests because, regardless of party positions, they'd rather go with a sure thing than a maybe with little chance of succeeding.
 
Citizens United made a 3rd party all but impossible.

I think there are a lot of bad things about CU, but this isn't one of them.

The last major Third Party was Ross Perot, because he was willing to dump a ton of his own money on his campaign.

The drawback was that Ross was crazier than a shithouse rat. (And he STILL got 17% of the vote in 1992!)

CU would make it possible for a rich billionaire to bankroll a third party candidate.
