-What would it take for a viable third party?

Likely another billionaire or a group of billionaires* [who we'd just have to HOPE are reasonable and selfless/altruistic!]...?

Perot garnered 19% of the vote in '92; no small feat vs. Clinton & Bush I.

-Overturning Citizens United is impossible until some conservative SCOTUS justices die. [of OLD AGE, Yahoo, lol]

-Wouldn't heavily regulating campaign contributions be an incredibly difficult and exspensive task, which might involve a corruptible beaurocracy?

-Would lack of donations have the unintended consequence of ALSO giving a big advantage to wealthy candidates who can fund themselves?* back to my initial altruistic billionaires point above^

Just brainstorming and asking questions here, Eric, since I agree with your premise!
