The last time a "third party" came to power was 1860. That was a four-way race and only one of the four tried to win in every state. None of them were on the ballot in all states. The stark political differences that motivated Presidential candidates to not even try in half of the states corresponded to secession and civil war. An unusual circumstance that no one should want to repeat.

Consider the closest third party candidates have gotten since: 1912, 1948, 1968, 1980, 1992... if it was likely to happen spontaneously it would have happened one of those five times.

.... I need to find some breathing exercises...
