In 2016, 5.9 percent of voters cast their votes for third party candidates.
These third party peaks have had no single ideological tint: Perot was conservative; Anderson a moderate; Wallace and La Follette populists.
Four years ago, moderate Democrats still controlled the Party.
With 60 percent of Democrats already embracing their collective left, ample numbers exist for a continued effort outside the Party.
An Independent run would immediately draw the considerable inherent support for third parties to the individual candidate.
Regardless of its ideological direction, a Democrats' Independent run threat is real.
In what looks like another close race, an Independent run is a growing threat to Democrats.
