Also, the problem with "disaffected voters" is that they are all disaffected for different reasons. You would want them united under a certain flag, but others would want to unit under totally difference flags. This would just raise the same problem again:vote for your third party and let the "greater of two evils" win. . .or for the less of two evils in an attempt to block the person you really don't want.

Then the Establishment will always win, and the people have no choice. If it's Hillary against either Cruz or Kasich, the EST can just sit back and laugh as we argue about candidates they already control. There are cosmetic differences between the parties, but in substance, we already have one party rule. The guy who owns the Wichita Thunder ECHL hockey team also owns other ECHL teams. When two of his teams play against each other, who does he cheer for? You're right! Himself! He wins no matter what. That's how the Establishment feels when the race comes down to a Democrat or Republican.
