Somehow, I like to dream that the third party as a viable alternative will happen in a flash.
Mittens probably could have done it this cycle, but he would have had to spend his own money.
Maybe Bill Gates will decide to back a Libertarian or a Green, and bankroll them with the big boys.

Perot. I'm still amazed that nutty little goofball got 19% in '92 and 8% in '96.
Just goes to show what (fairly) equal access can get you. Of course, as Bot pointed out, the electoral college is where it's at and he got zero electoral votes.
It'll probably take several election cycles with increasing voter support to even get the discussion about changing the system started. But I'm hoping I've got no where to go for the next 30 or 40 years.
