A third party will get traction when it is led by someone who isn't looked at by a large number of people as your crazy uncle (Perot), doesn't have a questionable past of courting undesirables (Paul), and hasn't been previously smeared by one of the two major Parties (Nader).
It has to be led by someone who has a clean history, with no skeletons.
So.......perfection? Good luck with that. the plebs are already drinking from the nonsense trouth over who ate what meat and who bullied who.
It's not a problem of the conadidates, but of public perceptions. People are worried about all the wrong things and only hear media soundbites.
Not perfection, just a clean record. Is that too much to ask for?
And it is the candidates. Perot did very well until he let the crazy out.
