sure, but I was hoping to talk specifically about third parties... Clinton and Trump are talked about enough everywhere else.

Constitution?
By the way CNN gave them a platform and hosted a debate for them.

the argument here is that because all points of view need to have their own party.
Ron Paul tried to get the Republican nomination because his views aligned most closely with theirs.
So, strategically, it would be much easier to enter and influence the Democratic party than to form a new party.
Of course; I'm not suggesting we need more parties. We need a more equal representation of all candidates, regardless of their party affiliation.

Nope, he tried it after he realized that he'd get a LOT more media exposure running as a Republican compared to Libertarian -- and he surely did get it (although he and some of his supporters have been "accidentally disconnected" and censored a number of times). He did run as a Libertarian in 1988 as you might know, and of course that didn't go any better than just about any other "third-party" run.
