Wrong thread title OP as I presume your pulling a Buchanon refers to Buckanon hijacking the former party of Perot in the year 2000. As it was a ripe plum, because in 1996, the party of Perot got enough support in 11/1996 to be automatically on the printed ballot.
And now its 2012, and there are no such ripe plums to be had. As Donald Trump must either win the democratic or republican primaries to be assured of ballot access. Maybe Trump could try buying the Libertarian party? Still will not him get on the printed ballot. As a libertarian would vote for Trump after and not before hell froze over.
But hope springs eternal, remember boys and grls, you too can always write in the name Lemon Law for President on your 11/2012 ballot. I promise to not get my hopes up and neither should the Donald.
