I believe he claims to be independent. Just a thought. But even then, with both house and senate being controlled by left or right, not sure how much would get done?

Ross Perot.

Perot was great for us when I worked in radio.  His "giant sucking sound" sound byte always worked.  But all seriousness aside I thought at the time that maybe a third party could get a strong foothold after his run.  Not the first or last time I was wrong!

I think Johnson was a big name too and I was surprised he didn't garner more support.

Maybe his marijuana stance was ahead of its time?
