That’s exactly what happened in Chile in 1970. Allende was elected with about 35% of the vote, with the other 65% split between centrist and rightist candidates. And Allende, of course, failed to take a hint and governed as if he’d won in a landslide, ramming radical Marxist policies into government.
Allende = Clinton?
IMHO, it would be a mistake to have a third party candidate. That’s how Bubba won the first time around.
