That hasn’t happened since Ross Perot. The one thing I give Republicans is that they know how to play the game, and the voters know that 3rd party votes don’t give you what you want. The tea party was incorporated, as were libertarians like the Paul’s. Democrats need to do the same on the left with Green Party candidates and progressives.
To do that well, you need to include some policies that will appease those groups, while being a centrist on items that may alienate swing voters. I think that is starting to happen, but you are never going to get everything you want, that’s just politics.
