Because of our Electoral College system, a third-party candidate has zero chance of actually becoming president, but he can influence the outcome of the election. The conventional wisdom is that Kennedy's candidacy will help Trump but I'm not so sure about that because previously Trump had an ironclad hold on the lunatic vote, but now Trump will have to split it with Kennedy.> I don't know if that was an intentional joke but your idea of Kennedy splitting the lunatic vote is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. :)Soon after I wrote that I read a poll that indicated that if it was a two-man race 47% of Kennedy supporters would vote for Trump and only 29% would vote for Biden. He really is splitting the lunatic vote, and Trump seems to have noticed and he doesn't like it:John K Clark
