I didn’t come up with it, but this guy has RFK energy. A fake Dem running as a Dem to lose and throw his support rightward in the general.

Stephen A. Smith: "We wouldn’t have a border crisis under my watch."
"We ain’t defunding any police… There’s gonna be more."
It's with much regret I foresee the inevitable, he's running
