I can think of probably 100 people I'd choose over these two. As much of a personal as he portrays, I would gladly vote for Stephen Colbert over these two. He is actually incredibly intelligent and has knowledge a lot of politicians do not. No one would take it seriously, but if he ran against these two there would be no question who I'd pick.

I think it's more of a systematic failure. A two party system based on an antiquated electoral system needs reform.
You're right. There are more parties, but I'd eat my hat if someone from another party became president. They just don't have the funds to compete. So much money is wasted on campaigning that could be used to actually help thousand if not hundreds of thousands of people. With the prevalence of social media covering everything anyway I would be interested in voting for a president who used money given for ads to benefit people, but instead money is given as a debt that big corporations expect certain votes for. It's frustrating to see.
