The Electoral College system will prevent any thrid party candidate from having any chance.
Our system would have to eliminate the EC, and then have a popular vote where the winner has to get at least 50%. In the case of no winner there will be a run off between the top two. That will give third party a chance. But of course, they will have to offer something different that dems or pubs, what would that be? The two parties cover most every issue. Republicans are cirrently far right. Democrats are currently moderate. So the only space available is old school conservative, like Romney, or a far left like Sanders or Warren. Libertarians aren't realistic enough to be a thing.
