As Jeb Bush announced his bid for the Republican presidential nomination Monday, a conservative political action committee released an open letter urging Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano to run as a third-party candidate if Bush and Hillary Clinton are their parties’ nominees.
“The Democrat and Republican brands have become ‘two wings of the same bird of prey,’ as you yourself have pointed out, which is why the American People deserve an alternative choice in the coming presidential election,” reads the letter from Constitutional Rights Political Action Committee Chairman Larry Ward.
The letter concludes, “Above all, we need a President who recognizes that the Constitution exists to protect Liberty, not arbitrary government and well-connected special interests. If our freedom is to be kept safe from government, we need you as our next President.”
In addition to working as Fox News’ senior judicial analyst, Napolitano has been a judge, professor, book author and constitutional scholar, widely known as a strict constructionist.
The PAC plans to closely follow the presidential race as it develops, and Ward told RealClearPolitics that he hopes the letter and its 300,000 signatories demonstrate enough support to encourage Napolitano to run on a third-party ticket if Bush and Clinton are their parties’ picks.
Ward believes that Napolitano would enjoy many advantages in a presidential campaign, including name recognition from his years on Fox and an extensive knowledge of the Constitution. “We believe that Judge Napolitano will absolutely crush any candidate in the debate,” he added.

Did he play Eddie Munster?
Why would a Paulestinian run against Rand Paul?
cause there aren’t enough Republicans in this race yet...
Anybody but Jeb or Hillary. As long as Andrew doesn’t transgender to Janet Napolitano after becoming president.

third party rino would hand the election to Hillary.
A two party race Jeb v Hillary would elect Jeb or Hillary.
At least we have a shot with a third party if it is Jeb V Hillary.
point taken.
The idea is for him to run third party if it’s Jeb vs Hillary.
I’m going to need someone to vote for, I’m not voting for either of them.
My wonder we are called the stupid party....
“I’m going to need someone to vote for, I’m not voting for either of them.”
Then I’m afraid your part of the problem not part of the solution my friend. That mentality is how obama got elected to 2nd term in my estimation. Sometimes you just have to pick the lesser of 2 evils.........especially when it comes to politics. Should you choose to opt out of the next presidential election for whatever reason, remember you have no room to complain about the outcome or anything that results from that outcome.
Though if it looks like the Dems are going to win anyway, there is a certain utility in making the RINO finish third.
Just what the USA needs — a gay libertarian POTUS!
Good grief no! Napolitano, Ron Paul, Rand Paul....huge no thank you.
I wouldn’t vote for this lie-bertarian nutcase if he was the ONLY candidate running.
Which one would be the "lesser of two evils"? Jeb would be more likely to get gun control, amnesty, and a host of other liberal-left agenda items through a Republican Congress than would Hillary.
Well, with Jeb at least you don’t get slick willie STD.
I’d prefer a Presidential candidate that doesn’t believe gay marriage is a Constitutional right like the judge does.
I held my nose for Romney.
The lesser evil between Jeb and Hillary may just be Hillary. A republican congress won’t be as likely to cooperate with her as they would be with Jebbie.
