If I were a political adviser, I would say this is an opportune time...

for a Third Party candidate. We can see that many Republicans are not happy with the direction of the country and will hold their Party responsible. We can see that many Democrats are not happy with the degree of opposition or lack of opposition coming from the Democratic Party. If there are any folks considering running as an Independent or Third Party, against both major Parties, I think they could not find a better time than now. Just an observation.

1. totally agree

the time has never been better, but it has to be a new party. No harm in exploring that while supporting the few Dems we can still count on.

2. Agreed.

Doesn't preclude it from still being an uphill battle, but the timing wouldn't be bad.

3. If I were considering making a run for office, I would seek your counsel

You always make very good sense!
