In sentiment I agree with a Third Party, but the reality is different.
I believe Trump is the only person capable of successfully creating a third party.
I mean: not just create it, but win. But also, there is a reason he has not done it (at least not yet): the system is rigged against 3rd parties.
There are all kinds of rules and legislations that make 3rd parties more difficult to succeed, and allow the other parties to gang-up against the winning (non majority - less than 50%) party. Similar to the UK, if a party doesn't achieve more than 50% votes the other parties will make coalitions to take over Congress. This is the secret why congress politician are not really that scared about 3rd parties.
