Another dirty little secret. A third Party could win this election. There are enough voters mad at both Parties to actually win. Trump is the perfect candidate for it.
I don't know anyone who has an answer, I know I don't

Trumps hard stand on abortion is a call out of women. We will now find out if women are indeed concerned about the life that lives inside their bodies or other considerations. Will women embrace his right to life for the unborn child or reject it?
Yes, but could he get on all 50 states ballots as a 3rd party candidate?
Seriously, I heard a lot of states wouldn’t allow it if the candidate was previously running in one of the two parties that already held primaries.
I guess folks could write in like Wasshername McKowsky in Alaska, but do all states allow write-ins?
There are two very real barriers though. One is sore loser laws in place in many states, and the other (unless Trump signs on with a party already in place in enough states) filing deadlines to run as an independent.
Trump's best chance is to win the republican nomination. It is also the best outcome to re-establish partisanship, and stifle the "reach around politics" that is in place these days. The disgruntled RNC party leadership can bolt to the DEM party, which is where they fit better.
I also wonder if Sanders will run as third party if he fails to get Dem nomination
btw-- your essay this morning was outstanding. I read it to my wife and she agrees. Ok if I copy and paste and send out to a few friends, or would you prefer I just send a link to it. On a copy and paste I definitely would give attribution to your screen name and freerepublic.
