Third parties have a real tough time getting on ballots. They don't have the opportunities to get into debates or receive the same funding as the major parties.
It could happen someday if both parties continue to destroy their image in the public's eye. But it will take someone special, preferably one with a lot of money in his pocket. Bloomberg would have been an interesting choice had Hillary won the Democratic nomination.
I would love to see a system where 5 or 6 major parties are running every election ending in run-offs.
