I have never seen any other party come close, only the Republicans and Demarcates, do you think any other party will ever stand a chance?

Yes I do.
Correct that third parties don't get many votes. HOwever, I think people are waking up to the fact that most politicians make empty promises and want to send a message to the parties that WE are FED UP. So a third party coming into office might be what's in order to give REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRATS a wake up call that they are in office to be our voices.

Nope i dont think any party will in the near future, Teddy Roosevelt was the closest with about 36% of the votes with the independent party, but him running split the republicants in half, but the democrats didnt split, so democrates won that year with about 47%

No, this is precisely why President Jefferson said there should be no political parties permitted!
