There won't be any way a third party will be viable unless we find a way to go "Jungle Primary" similar to how states like Louisiana are.

Write it down -- there will be no viable 3rd party for President any time soon.

I know! I was just trying to use "respectful sympathy" to commiserate with those who are still holding out voting for Trump. I think just bashing them over the head telling them how silly it would be not to vote Trump is not gonna help them realize the best course of action is to vote Trump. A little hand holding will be needed.

Sadly many cannot conclude this.

I would be one of them. With how he has handled himself through the primary, and listening to his numerous flip flops, I can not see how this man could be good for the conservative movement. In fact his narcissism down right scares me.

I feel your pain. I'm a Ted Cruz supporter. Trump is an unpredictable liar but I honestly believe that as bad as he's going to be he will never be as bad as Hitlary. I have no real choice but to vote for Trump. He will compromise conservative/constitutional principles but Hitlary is out to destroy them with her ideology.

I think voting 3rd party in this election cycle will only split the vote and help the opposition. It's too late in the game for 3rd party this year. The third party movement needs to gain traction early on to be a contender, not just when your guy doesn't make the cut. The 3rd party will have 4 years to gain momentum. Will the media give them any coverage? Maybe Trump will prove to be a catalyst for a 3rd party in the future but it's all Trump/Hitlary at this point.
