John Anderson ran against Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter in 1980.

He got 8% of the popular vote.

He got slightly more than 0% of the Black vote, probably because he looked like the “whitest” man in America.

That was one time when the “run a third party to bleed Republican votes” backfired.

I think old gas tax John carved out from both sides.
