1. Kinda surprising he is not getting traction

It might be because he is having different issues everyday and not sticking to a small few and emphasizing them. Thank goodness the DNC didn't put a 10 percent in polling threshold for debates. The RNC discussed this but decided with to many it was diluting the numbers to much.

2. TPTB just can't have a substantive candidate opposing their chosen one.

Are you suggesting that We the People can't handle a candidate who sets out policies and plans? I sure hope not!

3. We can here but not sure about the voting public

Sad to say.

4. Sadder to say I'm not sure that 'we can here,'

considering the little attention he attains even when posts concern his substantive proposals.
