Why do minor parties run for the president while they know only one candidate in the two major parties will be the POTUS?

And also, why there is no elected president from minor parties since 100 years ago?

    Vanity factor.

    I keep saying that if they want to be a player, they need to start locally, build a local following that can transition to becoming a factor in state politics and even a seat in the House.  

    But, no, they want to start at the top, and expend all their resources on the lost cause of a presidential race, which has to have a ground game in every state in which it wants to be on the ballot.
