Oooooh...wow!
The presumptive Presidential Candidates are close to being nominated!
In the days before the 'first Tuesday after the first Monday in November' and in the days that follow this day, wouldn't it be great if the pundits, the media "talking heads", and the pollsters found a way to factor into their pontifications and figures the various third party candidates as a viable reflection of the voting electorate?

If the electorate had the viable choice of "none of the listed" that would be considered in the electoral returns, one might well wonder the effect this would have on the plurality of the election.
I wonder if Thomas Jefferson's thought (in a paraphrase) that 'every so often, a Democracy needs a rebellion to remain viable' is acceptable in the current political climate.
Perhaps Mr. Jefferson's TREASONOUS thoughts expressed in the Declaration of Independence are still TREASON under a different guise.
