    Yeah, but here's the difference. The Democrats are a political party with all it's faults and all it's fringes. The Republican party is a complete **** show.

          Having only one choice is not the same as liking that choice.

                  All the more reason to have a 3rd person in the debates.

                    No, that's not the point. In Washington there is no comparison between the two. None.

                        It would nice if the third would offer something realistic and appealing.

                          We have a two party system. All these other parties do is get the party most unlike them elected.

                            This is interesting.

                            running our polls-only model using only live-interview surveys, Clinton leads Trump by 7 points and has an 86 percent chance of winning. Running it with only nonlive-interview polls, Clinton leads Trump by 5 points and has a 71 percent chance of winning.
                            Trump does much better in surveys than in live interviewer polling. Assuming this is a significant and permanent effect, what is the cause?

                            One candidate: a variation on the Bradley Effect. The idea there is people will tend to lie, or at least overestimate their likelihood of performing a social good, when in person. In the Trump case it's reversed: Trump has said horrible things, and people are less likely to admit they are going to vote for him when dealing with an actual human. This is classic conflict/judgment avoidance, in line with subjects being less likely to admit to other forms of reprehensible behavior (drugs, crime, adultery) to a live interviewer.

                              A lot of people envision the 3rd party to be the moderates. I think a 3rd and 4th party would be the fringes. Israel's a good example of a system where you have center left, center right, and then lunatics. Problem is to form a coalition government you need to make deals with the nutjobs because rarely does one party win an outright majority.

                                In the short run, but they also test market policies for the majors: if something catches on at least one (sometimes both) of the bigs appropriates it. That's what happened to Perot surfacing deficit control. Hopefully it will happen again with some of Bernie's ideas (breaking up the banks, Tobin transaction tax, college debt relief, reverse Citizens United, tax the f-ck out of the plutes).
