How about a credible, 3rd party Democrat ... - oh, but, wait, in a two-party system that would only take votes away from the party nominee and accomplish absolutely nothing else (Something the Republicans should have figured-out after Perot).

The time for partisanship and making racial or gender 'statements' is long past. This country cannot stand 'more of the same' from another unqualified hack politician who has never done anything more constructive than 'organize.'

This would certainly shake up the race.

Bernie has pledged that he will not run as a third party candidate, so presumably this would mean an easy victory for either Democratic candidate.
So Trump is correct it's the unelected donors that run the country. And that is supposed to be the conservative position a candidate must be found that represents them and not the voters. That shouldn't be a problem there are plenty of them around some running for president now.

It's the rich elite with ties to the big banks and corporations....like Trump. Anyone who thinks this billionaire cares about the little people needs their heads examined. He's a 1 percenter, he is part of the problem, not the solution.

Wonder how much they paid for the obvious answer? dumb idea, then again it may give their girl hillary a shot... but I doubt it. Trump obviously has this wrapped up.

So theres an electable,unnamed, conservative who could win third party but didn't bother to run as a Republican but wants to jump in now?Yeah...ok

No third party candidate is going to win.....its not going to happen.If you want to defeat Trump you can vote for Gary Johnson,whoever the constitution party runs,write in yourself or Ron Paul,or just go ahead and vote for Hillary,it doesn't matter.....the only person to benefit is going to be Hillary.

Seems to me the GOP would rather throw this election to Hillary and try again in 4 years rather than have Trump win and destroy their party.

... but we already had two Presidents named Johnson (Andrew and Lyndon).

Why can't we have a President Carlucci or a President Goldberg?

President Kardashian
President Gaga
President Cyrus

Honestly I'm kind of pissed off with the Apple nonsense, I would probably would not mind throwing away my vote. The problem is that some of these libertarians pander also to white nationalists.

It's the rich elite donors that that are looking for some politician to represent them. You say that is Trump. He's the 1 percenter. Why not just go with the flow then and get on the Trump Train. You can't have it both ways. Unless it's about control. They want someone like Trump but they need to be able to control him/her.
