I don't really see it, just from the standpoint of who would be dumb enough to fund it?

To this point he's basically gotten, what, 10-15 percent support of the country tops? (figuring half his number in the primary). What math sees him suddenly beating Trump in a 3-way if he can't beat him in a 2-way? Now if there's time for a sudden 3rd party bid after Trump nomination but a Trump meltdown before November then maybe (is there even time to get on ballots in that case though?)
