The media (and the two parties) will make sure that never happens.
Polarizing people to one side or another is easier to sell to.
Most who try to run independent are marginalized (most for very good reason) and shunned by mass media and the two parties.
Unless someone can be produced who has a reasonable view (sorry, but nuking taxes and programs for this that and everything else will never fly) with reasonable cuts ACROSS the board (yes i mean everything tightening up the belt) it'll never happen.
As it is, the level of pandering you have to do to EVERY special/not special interest group prevents that.
