    Getting people appointed to smaller, local seats is realistic. Running for national seats is also realistic. Running for the top seat without first building up a strong base is lunacy.

    Hitler wasn’t appointed before having a third of government held by nazis. Even then, he got denied repeatedly. If only Hindenburg had held out a little longer, the nazis would have collapsed in debt and the world would be a better place.

    Anyway, that diatribe aside, you aren’t serious if you think you have a shot at becoming president as a third party in this country without doing a lot to change the landscape first.
