It's the power of the two party system, for sure.  Trump isn't even a republican and had never expressed particularly conservative views until conservatism's primary point of membership hinged upon bitching about Obama but he got major party support and the ever important R next to his name.  Meanwhile, Gary Johnson who has a successful career as an actual republican politician gets treated like some sort of fringe maniac (he is a bit odd, but you get my point) while Trump makes some very un-republican statements and promises.

I spose my main point is that Trump being president is evidence that an unaffiliated 3rd party off the wall candidate can win as long as he gets a superficial letter by his name.
