I posted this in the libertarian candidate thread, but we actually are seeing a new candidate entering the race (well about a week or two later than his announcement due to running as a third party candidate) and his name is Esteban Oliverez. Oliverez is an Austin business-man who is running a somewhat libertarian platform and trying to speak to all of America rather than say the rich (and their supporters) and the poor (and their supporters.) It is an interesting platform to run on. If only America wasn't intrenched in red and blue politics like George Washington didn't want when he was president.

I am for Oliverez but as a realist I doubt he has a chance. He has instantly jumped up to a second favorite to me (behind Sanders.) I am really interested in how much traction he got because I think has some good ideas and the problem we see is that both parties only push their agenda rather than solutions we can actually use. I am attaching the link to his website and his candidacy video

Esteban Oliverez for President

If Rand Paul ain't getting the nomination, I might as well cast my vote for this guy.

It seems like it when the Republicans have what just under 20 themselves because some want a Fox News gig and the Republican party is not unified on a viewpoint at all allowing for Christian conservatives, financial conservatives, business "leaders" and even the few moderates that were not driven out with the RINO insults of the Tea Party.

I actually think I am running. I was trying to use some app to order a pizza, but I think it ended up making me a presidential candidate. I had wondered why Donald Trump suddenly called me (for we have never spoken before) to call me a 'jerk'.

Still waiting for that pizza.

You fell for the pizza-app-now-you're-a-candidate prank too? I thought I was the only one.
