Thank you John, this was insightful and interesting. It would be a blessing if we had a coherent, thoughtful, viable third party that could really give the Rs and Ds a competitive race. Right now I don't see that happening in my lifetime. It seems to me that it's dangerous to vote for any third party presidential candidate, as it really ends up just throwing one's vote away and likely leads to the winner being the candidate one least wants in office. I am so frightened by one candidate that I wish third parties would bow out of this next election. ...Thanks again and God bless.

That's because we only talk about 3rd parties in presidential cycles. They need to build it as a consistent presence across non-presidential cycles.
