The only two real viable third party candidates have been Ross Perot and Ralph Nadar. In 1992 Perot actually got about 18% of the general election vote but not a single electoral vote. And Nadar pretty much gave Bush the win in 2000. Bush beat Gore by only 537 votes in Florida. Nadar got over 19,000 votes there. The vast majority of his voters said they'd have voted for Gore if Nadar hadn't run.

So ya, either throw away your vote or tilt the odds a bit more in Trumps favor.

The secret to a good Boston accent is easy. There's really only two aspects to it. It breaks down to this.

Pizza = Pizzer

Beer = Be-ah

Let's go get some pizzer and beah.

Linda = Linder

Hear = He-ah

Did ya he-ah that Linder loves pizzer and beah?
