It's not too late for an independent to tilt the balance one way or
the other. Ralph Nader got paid a lot of money to run as an
independent in the past, and it looks like he may possibly be up for
he gig again this year and help spoil the chances for the D's. Some of
the extreme right wing have threatened to run a conservative third
party candidate if they don't think the R nominee is "conservative
enough", and that would split the R vote as well. This might be a year
with four candidates on the ballot in November, and if so the "winner"
might take office with about 30% of the popular vote.

Odd election indeed.

My preference is for somebody who has never held a federal government office
or had a high level federal job. It's a "club" that poorly represents the
general population.
