Third party candidates have a difficult time winning electoral votes
No- winning presidential candidates have always carried their home states. In fact, losing candidates almost always carry their home states.

No. Theodore Roosevelt was only elected President once, in 1904. He served out most of McKinley's term after McKinley was assassinated prior to being elected President. He ran again but lost in 1912.
As I understand it (I am British) the 2 political parties (Republican & Democrat) choose a leader who is then voted for by universal adult suffrage. The parties each elect a candidate & the people have a choice of these two. There may be other candidates, but it appears to me that these do not have any chance of actually winning.
