    You could easily be describing Trump here, except for the fact that Trump had his pep rallies, which I assume you think were great.

    RFK switches to R tomorrow, all his current cheerleaders will immediately transform into mean girls.

    I find RFK Jr. more personable than Trump in presentation. Also, Trump tends to capitalize on division, whereas RFK seeks to bring people together. RFK wants to lock down the border, but also wants to vastly expand legal immigration. RFK doesn't get into the BS foreign policy narratives. He explains them well. Trump does "okay" at it, but RFK is much more articulate on most topics than Trump.

    And yes, RFK Jr. and Trump are both lightyears ahead of Biden in terms of personality and connecting to people. That's really not saying much.

    You do realize he is probably similar to Bernie Sanders in terms of economic policy? That’s what you want?

    That and the possibility that he could prove an embarrassment to Joe Biden's reelection campaign although it's extremely unlikely that he get even 10 percent of the vote in any party primary.

    So powerful. Congrats on admiring the problem.

    What the actual f is he going to do about it?

    News Flash: absolutely nothing.

    He is a feckless blow hard with no solutions. Furthermore, he has no allies in Congress to pass a lick of legislation that would solve a damn thing.

    Not necessarily because he’s feckless, but because there are powerful forces in play that inhibit change.

    6 or 1/2 dozen. One is “feckless” when unable to lead those that refuse to be led.

    A true third party needs to start at the local level and boil up to national level with clear vision.
