[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People thought we’d never have an AA president, and yet we did. No one thought abortion would be legal, and yet it was. No one thought RvW would be overturned, yet it was. [/quote]

Non of those things have anything to do with third party candidates winning presidential elections.   Please explain exactly what states are going to provide the 270 electoral votes for this superstar?[/quote]

Just sayin’ that one should never say never. [/quote]

*this doesn’t capture the wreckage wrought by Bernie Sanders. I found one state that happened to have results near the top: over 9,000 people really looked at Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and believed the lie that they were the same thing and would yield the same results and wrote in Bernie Sanders. It did not change the fact that Clinton won that state, but across the country how many states did people making similar decisions, or even abstaining from voting altogether, change the outcome? She won the popular vote.  https://www.providencejournal.com/story/news/politics/2016/12/30/write-in-presidential-votes-in-ri-clear-choice-was-bernie-sanders/22938002007/[/quote]

So? What does any of that prove? None of that matters. The possibility always exists for a successful third party. Whether it is 2024 or sometime later. [/quote]
