Just a Mark Penn fantasy. The Ruling Class will never let it happen. Third parties have a lousy record.
Article mentions Ross Perot who did have an impact.
That's why they're called 3rd Party - They always finish 3rd!!
the last 3rd party candidate to win ANY electoral votes --- not Anderson, not Paul, not Nader, not even Perot. You have to go back to good old boy George Wallace...
“Third parties have a lousy record.”
This isn’t about whether the third party can be elected. It’s about getting a candidate who will take enough votes from a Republican to throw the election to a minority democrat. See Clinton, William.
