No1, tell me about some good third parties...
Two observations:
1) I was watching the C-SPAN coverage and counted six Democrat callers who said they were supporting Trump. I found that surprising. Is this a thing?
2) Christie looked pathetic standing there behind Trump, like he just couldn't remember where he'd left his testicles. It was sad.

They should certainly be on the ballot in New York; their candidate finished third here in 2012. http://www.politico.com/2012-election/results/president/new-york/
EDIT: Before taking that plunge you might consider that Nate Silver and the crew at 538 aren't convinced that Trump is a sure thing yet. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/elections-podcast-breaking-down-super-tuesday/?ex_cid=navlink

Be interesting where his vote goes; Cruz seems ideologically closest but there's the bad blood because of the incident in Iowa where the Cruz campaign was spreading false rumors that the Doctor was already out to steal some votes.

Lindsey Graham has the answer, though he almost chokes on it:
