So if he ran as an independent he would also have no chance?

Conventional wisdom is that independents have no chance. But it's a self-reinforcing logic that says independents have no chance because few vote for them, and few vote for them because they have no chance.

IMO, RIP USA after the "election" that put the Big Guy in power.
Anyone who thinks there is going to be an orderly out to this mess is deluded. History is replete with examples of the same power dynamic in the last phases of an empire.
I bet if you dig into the more obscure parts of the history of Rome you discover that roman soldiers also were turned into a clown show just like the USA has done. And the attempts of sane nobility to try and halt the deccline in politics going nowhere.
If I was over there, I'd be looking at getting a patch in the appelachia or other hillbilly dominated hilly and mountainous lands. Or head south to central america where some sanity seems to be dawning.
