He is going to be battered by his vaccine stance, which may or may not have some merit.
From what I understand, he is a proponent of more rigid vaccine safety. Obviously this is going to be a massive talking point during the campaign…but I hope that it doesn’t drown out everything else that he stands for.
He in my mind is an old school democrat that hopes to help stem the country’s crippling political and cultural polarization.
He’s an environmentalist that has successfully battled the likes of Monsanto.
I’m not keen on his stance on Ukraine, but at this early stage in the electoral road, I would probably vote for him given the other options.
Is it conceivable that an independent could win?
Some are saying that he has the biggest chance of that since Ross Perot.
