What would it need to create a third party in US politics?
Economic and societal collapse
One that actually stood a chance of holding some power. What kind of thing would be in its manifesto?
That is hard to say, as in a collapse the best and very worst are possible.
Is there room in the US political spectrum?

There's room, however, there is little demand. Most are content with crooks(politicians, and war mongers) acting on behalf of crooks(welfare lovers, both corporate and personal, extreme nationalists,etc.). Both Obama and McCain voted for the wallstreet money giveaway, right along with Bush. They had no right to do that, and any honorable person would be haunted to the day they died for voting for such. Yet, people still chant Obama is an agent of change, maybe like agent smith. I really hope I'm wrong but so far he's supporting all of the current criminal money give away activities.

In short there is no room because we(generic we, as in the national vast majority), see in terms of a boxing match, or WWE match, or Football team. We are not concerned with right, wrong, how, why, but rather, my team go, go, go, and what do I get when we win.
