No, because he’s actually quite mad and belongs nowhere near any kind of power. I can see his conspiracy theories appealing to the Q type, but most of them are going to go for Trump. He’s polling this highly because he’s an unknown. As more people start paying attention to who he actually is, he will be the Herman Cain of the race.
Would you agree that Bobby Kennedy would draw more voters from Trump as it stands?
A “conspiracy theorist” is rejected on the left until government-sanctioned evidence is provided. The right doesn’t have that constraint.
The left believes conspiracy theories. They're just different conspiracy theories.
I'd trust a person openly mad more than a person still likely mad.
He actually had (much smaller) power from time to time in his career, and after becoming as he is now too. He did better with it than many people would.
I'm not sure how he's any more 'openly mad' than Trump. Neither of them admit it.
Trump is demented, not mad.
Second word from the top on the list:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/demented
Demented is usually used meaning that somebody's intelligence has sharply declined.
Mad is usually used meaning that somebody's sanity has sharply declined.
