Sadly, I don't believe he has a chance - but might be able to show the disillusionment and actual sentiments of a large and unrepresented mass of the public. If he were to position himself to win, he'd meet with an accident or a lone-nut assassin for sure. The powers in control could never work with him, because they couldn't control him. It won't happen under the current system, sadly. The size of the 'protest vote' might be interesting, but I think that is all it will be in the end. We will get one of the two CIA/MIC/Bankster-chosen candidates - as we always do - more so since JFK was assassinated.
Funny how almost every popular, pro-peace, pro-democracy figure who threatens to really shake things up inevitably meets with a deranged, lone-nut assassin.
