Reply #17: It's interesting. I was thinking about Ralph at the store today in the context of

[John Q. Citizen]

some of the Hillary supporters who claim Hillary has a secret magic mojo that somehow allows her to deflect, defend against, or disarm the Republican attack machine. The argument goes that since Hill has been the recipient of so many attacks, that she has some magical invisible armor that protects her from them.

I was thinking Ralph must have similar armour that protects him from the Democratic attack machine, since he has been the recipient of so many attacks.

America, ain't it great? Anybody can dream of growing up and becoming the president of the US.

My guess is if Ralph runs, he will get a minuscule amount of votes this year from people who wouldn't vote for either party's candidate if you paid them to. But he will only get a portion of that demographic. Some of that demographic will write in another preferred non-candidate, some will just not vote the presidential race, and some will write in a fictional character.

I've never understood the fear and loathing some Dems carry for Ralph. I think it's the psychological need for a scape goat. I wouldn't vote for him again,and when i did it was a strategic vote. I lived in a Red State that overwhelmingly went for bush. If i had lived in a swing state I'd have voted Gore without hesitation. But i actually kind of like Ralph in a detached kind of way. I certainly don't see him as "the enemy." I have my own issues with Ralph but they are different issues than the Ralph haters have.
