Shy Elf: Representative Sample?

So, we're supposed to take the crowd at "a fund raiser at some banquet hall" as a representative sample of the US?

Seriously, though, I don't see things have significantly changed much over the past 100 years or so. I think third party candidates exist mainly on the fringe with certain personalities pushing themselves into the spotlight with an outside chance to influe
