It boils down to money. The third parties just don't have the funding it takes to get the 15% of the electorial college. Its one of the requirements according to the Committee on Presidential Debates. I think Ross just had enough money to buy his way in. I also think he dropped because he knew he was not going to take the election. There should still be an alternate way. Its also seems like there are certain powers that just dont want to general public to hear the types of things third party candidates bring up.
