He's not going to get on the ballot and he won't ever win.

That's 2 things I know already.

I'm probably going to skip that line on the ballot anyway.

All the third parties need to do is siphon off just enough electoral votes to prevent either major party candidate from getting to 270, then it goes to the House. It is a long, long, long shot, but there is a chance, kind of a potential reset button. Considering how close the two major parties are, it actually wouldn't take much to prevent them from reaching 270.

We need to look at the race at this point not as the need for an all out win by an alternative candidate, but just enough of a defensive move to keep the major parties from passing the finish line in the first play.

Worth considering and doing a deeper dive on his conservative credentials.  All alternative options are on the table and the election is a whole three months away so there is plenty of time to decide.

More and more fantasy. It entertains people with too much time, but not enough common sense.

(There is this guy down the street from me. He has an American flag on his yard, and he says he is running, too. Gives great speech.)

We have common sense enough not to vote for a life-long NY Liberal or the criminal hag. Voting your conscience is common sense.   If your conscience is telling you to vote for Trump, have at it. Mine is telling me something totally different.
