What about this makes you think he can pull anything off?[/quote]

"Both parties are now the war party."
"I don't like the corporate capture of our government.. the corrupt merger of state and corporate power."
"I don't like the censorship."

If you think this doesn't appeal to a large number of voters, particularly young voters, I think you're out of touch.

Personally, even with the voice disability,  I think he would come out ahead on stage debating Trump and Biden.[/quote]
People always say this about third-party candidates. The only one to put on a respectable performance was Ross Perot and he wasn’t cuckoo bananas.[/quote]

Perot had some populist ideas that appealed to some on the fringes of both parties and independents and he did this at a time when there had been no serious 3rd party threat to the major parties in a very long time. The crowd won over by the messaging of Ross Perot in 1992 is similar to the crowd that supported Bernie Sanders and to some degree Trump in their 2016 campaigns. There are some difficult, long standing issues that major party politicians don't want to touch because there are no simple short term solutions to those problems and when these populist candidates come out of the blue with promises to address those problems, they can easily find support from those that have been left behind by the major party agendas. Perot pulled in close to 20% against two stud politicians in Bush & Clinton. No telling what Perot or someone like Perot could do against two sub-standard candidates like Trump and Biden but RFK Jr. isn't that guy. [/quote]
