Showing that the Green Party knew what it was doing in not jumping over to the gimmicky campaign of one celebrity candidate Roseanne Barr, we see that…

Roseanne Barr endorses fellow celebrity candidate Donald Trump.

And the fruit of her campaign comes to bear.  She has a movie out about her 2012 presidential campaign, which I saw at the time rightly described as neither relevant for a career comeback or a pertinent commentary on the political process.  I suppose the movie displays the theme of the rogue candidate traversing America, searching for America’s soul.

For what it’s worth, meet this year’s nominee of this political party.  Doesn’t have the name value of Roseanne Barr, but is a veteran of various marxist parties.

If you’re in three states, you can vote for the Prohibition Party candidate — a party which, evidently, has heeled its riff after some deaths amongst some factional leaders.

“I’m 78. The other fellows in the Prohibition Party decided it was my turn,” Hedges said. “If I don’t do it now I may never have another chance.”

And, sure, we’re rolling deep down in the decimal points, and not getting us back toward figuring the Libertarian and Green Party votes, who will make up the lion’s share of the paltry returns for third party candidates.  (Throw in the Constitution Party, which I guess you can consider the third third party — not much happening past that one).  I’m pondering how much support third parties will get in this presidential election — it’ll surely surpass 2012, but not significantly.

What will it take to get up to bring the Democratic — Republican Duopoly down to 95 percent, and the fringe-fest of third parties up to 5 percent total?
