A false sense of threat, (or real threat) is a indeed a key point, and perhaps the most difficult aspect of this situation to validate.

It is difficult not to agree with Rocky’s Vision, Mission, and Core Values. Many candidates have expressed similar views. The challenge, as I see it, is how a candidate’s position on the issues fits with those of the voting public. I may not agree with Rocky on several fronts, but he has certainly impacted positive change throughout his career and I applaud him for challenging our current (and broken!) political system. I hope his bravery in his campaign run, at the very least, inspires others to impact real change in America.
