My wack job ass got nearly 40% of the vote when I ran for sheriff in liberal Western Washington. I accepted no donations and never even showed up to one public speaking event, spent 5000 of my own money and ran on an anti establishment, corruption libertarian ticket. Ran against a liberal, incombant very well liked democrat candidate. Who in their right mind would have thought I could get 40%??? But I did!!! My point is there are a lot more people like me than you think.....
