Realistically, no. As much frustration as there might be on both sides, no alternative or 3rd party candidates have enough support or popularity to win. The only way a 3rd party will eventually have a chance is to work its way from the bottom up, starting with city councils and school boards and progressing from there.

Fillmore only became president because of the unexpected death of President Zachary Taylor. I doubt very much that he had any expectation or any real hopes to becoming President.

It was not a position that an aspiring Presidential candidate would want.

The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution, specifically Section 3, is what prohibited Al Gore from becoming Vice President in the 2000 Presidential Election. This section states that if no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives chooses the President from the top three candidates. Even though Gore finished second in electoral votes, he did not receive a majority, so the decision fell to the House of Representatives, which ultimately chose George W. Bush as President.

Why did Donald Trump visit Mexico?
Trump was invited by Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to improve relations with the American candidate, in case he won the 2016 Presidential Elections. This however, backfired spectacularly for the Mexican president: after the visit, Trump was now seen as a serious presidential contender, while he never changed his extreme views about Mexico and Mexican people, because like the rest of his "base", Trump sees Mexico as an enemy. This added confidence points to the Republican candidate, who eventually won the presidency during the November 2016 elections. For the Mexican President, this fiasco resulted in a huge amount of criticism by his detractors, becoming one the most unpopular presidents in recent Mexican history, to the point that during the Mexican 2018 Presidential Elections, there is a high probability that a socialist, populist candidate -- the Mexican version of Bernie Sanders -- wins the incoming elections.
