Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson is running for the Libertarian nomination (he was their nominee in 2012). along with
six other declared candidates.
Candidates include:
- Joy Whitmire, a self-proclaimed "spiritual visionary" who claims God cured her Hepatitis C and other ailments.
- Derrick Michael Reid, a lawyer and engineer who "admits that his ability to write and otherwise communicate in English is limited, calling mathematics his first language" and who for some reason had his campaign photo made with him wearing what appears to be a Union Army general's uniform.
- Cecil Ince, an "actor and business owner" who has an entry with zero details on IMDb.

The Constitution Party has 3-4 people running for their nomination, but I will personally bitchslap you if you even think of voting for those theocrats.
And then there's a slew of crackpot independent candidates with less than zero percent chance of winning.
And of course, there's always the chance that Trump loses the GOP nomination, declares that he was treated unfairly, publicly tears up his pledge and then runs 3rd party. And precisely no one would be surprised.
The problem with 3rd parties seems to be not that they don't have good ideas, but rather that they don't have good candidates. Johnson has been a rare spot of sanity among the usual fringe candidates.
