When will America get a president that makes history by comming from a third party?

Question

In what year do you prodict or will it never happen in a million years as it is treated today?

Answer 1

It would appear that this is the year of Conservatism to roll in and take control with huge numbers supporting a new party, BUT the Republicans have a lot of money and it appears to me that Conservatives have sosld America to the highest Liberal bidder. My guess is that American Conservatives are all living in the UK because American money is currently at 50% less than the UK.

Answer 2

It will never happen in a million years.

Answer 3

To become President these day they need money and only the corporations interest have it.

Answer 4

When people start voting with their minds instead of their emotions.  How often do we hear people talking about voting the black man or voting for the woman.  That candidate has no family values or this candidate is a hypocrite.  The debates are pointless because everyone has some study or statistic that helps their argument.  All this is because the media pretty guides elections, so unti we forget about the newsprint, we wont' get a 3rd party candidate.  There's so much wrong with the 2 major parties, people are blinded by their emotions.  Never

Answer 5

When a genius will have Billion dollars for campaign. Contradiction in terms - so will never happen.

Answer 6

Won't happen, any issue a 3rd party gets that can gain them traction, 1 of the other 2 parties will have a candidate who will  coop the issue

eg George Wallace merely had southern Democrats transition to Republicans, last guy to actually get 3rd party EV's.

Answer 7

This will only happen when we the citizens realize that both major parties control this election process.  UNTIL we as citizens wake up, and TRULY VOTE for the best candidate, and that INCLUDES those from a third party, etc., nothing in this Country will change.  For the sake of our Country, I am hoping this will be sooner than later.

Answer 8

As it is treated today, no. Teddy Roosevelt left the Republican Party in 1912 after having served as President of the United States. The year he ran as a third party candidate, but lost to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

I'm thinking if a former president couldn't do it, it would be difficult for a relative unknown.
