A good man who would make a somewhat good president but won't be elected because America won't allow a third party to gain political office. If he would choose either Republican or Democrat then he might have a chance except Republicans won't accept him because he's not rich or stuck up and Democrats won't accept him because he's not a freak or of a minority group.
