Inspiration

I appreciate the authors' honest opinions that their solution to our country's political distress is a third party candidate--one who would not be elected. Instead, this candidate would be the one questioning the other candidates and bringing up issues and points that Americans are otherwise not experiencing. It is interesting to think that the third party candidate, with no shot of winning, would actually create the shock therapy we need as citizens--to hear the policies that will move us ahead--to give us inspiration in America--and to force the other prominent candidates into more advantageous competition and thought. Agreeing with Kristina's last post, I do not personally believe Roseanne Barr is the woman for this job. I am now looking at this situation differently for the 2016 election. Is it too optimistic for me to think that at that point we might have more of our campaigning nonsense under control, so that a third party voice coud be heard even without billions of campaigning money? Probably.
