Tulsi Gabbard? Marianne Williamson? The ghost of Ross Perot?They can't win the White House, but they can re-elect Trump.

Ask them why they'd take that risk with America's future?
Why would anyone?
I'm surprised @realdonaldtrump hasn't endorsed it.
Maybe he has, and we just don't know it yet. https://t.co/BIQBZoj1aP
Don't make me laugh. A third-party candidate (check your ballots; there are always candidates for POTUS other than the Democratic and Republican nominees) is not a ballot splitter unless she/he is even viable. Perot was viable enough to get into some of the Presidential debates and to generate a lot of attention (most of is self-financed) and the distinct question is: did he draw out new voters, or draw off Bush voters? I honestly don't think you can make the argument with any assurance that he did the latter. But Perot made people want to vote, and to construct a third-party around him.
He was as close to TR as we got again in the 20th century (and he wasn't close to TR at all).
So who's gonna be the "No Labels" candidate? That's gonna be the serious question. Not "Is there a No Labels candidate on the ballot?" No, the question will be "Who is it?" There are some of us (raises hand) who'd vote for a yellow dog if it was the Democratic candidate, and some who'll vote for whoever the GOP candidate is (even if it's Trump). How many people are that committed to the No Labels candidate, whoever it is?
Prosecution rests, your Honor.
