If we recruit this ideal candidate; threading the needle of name ID, a center-left bent, a TV-savvy campaign team and a pledge to serve only four years with an apartisan agenda, money and campaign expertise would certainly follow. And 50 state ballot access is a function of time (starting in the fall of 2019 would be prudential) and hard work as we have discussed and many of you have exhaustively war-gamed.
Part and parcel of this effort would be motivating the often politically lackadaisical middle to vote. The raft of new technologies in data targeting and biometric mobile voting technology could transform the electorate in the next few, amping voter participation and injecting the voices of moderates (both in political views and level of political interest) into the process. And any third-party effort must incorporate advocacy for accelerated adaption of these all but inevitable voter verification tools. I believe Silicon Valley could be game-changing allies in this effort.
I am sure none of us doubt that chaos could potentially be unleashed by jamming three viable candidates into a two-party system. An election that ends up in the House of Representatives is an uncontrollable, murky and ancient process. But might that be a less scary prospect than relying on the Democrats to nominate a candidate who can beat Trump in 2020?
