Ted Cruz Ends His Campaign for President

This is lining up to be a historic election. Both parties are set to nominate two very divisive and unlikable candidates. I wonder how, if at all, this will affect the two party system.

The non-crazies should annex a portion of Canada and start a new country.

Won't work, it's impossible.

A first-past-the-post voting system like ours always guarantees a two-party system. Once in a while there may be an anomaly, but in the end it devolves back to two parties. It's impossible to have a stable 3-party system with FPTP voting.
