He would have been a high profile candidate in a race with the most unpopular candidates from each party ever.
He wouldn't win the election, but to say he wouldn't win a single state or get into double digits anywhere I think is probably a big miscalculation.
Name the last last two independent candidates to win a state.
I'll give you a hint: they were in 1964 and 1948.
Not happening. Especially with the soda, gun and cigarette grabber as the candidate.
1968 and 1960, but don't let the actual results mess you up.
You and I both know what I am getting at here. Third-parties have very little chances of winning any state in 2016.
As far as 1968 goes, what state did a third party take?
In 1960, Byrd was considered a Democrat and it was an elector revolt.
1968- does George Wallace ring a bell?
