Thing is, I question whether Trump’s or Carson’s team has the wherewithal to get on many State ballots as an independent. And, it’s not like a national write-in campaign has any chance of getting a significant percentage of individual votes.

It’s not that hard; Americans Elect spent roughly $35 million doing it in 2012 as placeholder for an independent candidate that never appeared, and both candidates have demonstrated that they can raise or self-finance to that extent. Or they can do what Ralph Nader did and use a network of small existing parties.
