I wish Liz Warren had run (though I doubt conservatives would consider voting for her over Drumpf even with his wackiness), but alas I don't think she wants to be President.  Would've made a good first female President.  I think she'd have beaten Hillary in the primaries too.  I'm sure Republicans would attack her over Pocahontas Warren, but that'd be a pretty weak attack.  

 

If the Republicans had put up John Kasich, I might have been able to vote third party.  (The idea of the first female president, and with policies I mostly support, is fairly appealing to me.  Especially with 5 daughters who are looking at this election with eyes watching closely to get an idea of what's possible for them).  But they put up Donald Trump.  I've been against him since long before he declared he was a Republican.  I'm not particularly fond of his policies either.

 

Should a third party want to get serious about rising up, they need to run for local office, and get elected there before they start thinking seriously about going national.  Sucks that it has to happen that way, but there's no instant fix here.
