Well, RFK has his nutcasery, Republican and Democratic candidates have their own nutcasery (elections, 50 genders and so on). 2020 elections still managed to give us a president who may be a bit senile but is not super deranged. Provide protection to all viable candidates, hopefully citizens will do the right thing again.

I agree on the protection, but not on the nutcasery of JFK. Do you have any evidence to support that? It has not been conclusively proven.

Instead he has the cojones to take on the big issues, and fight them. That shows bravery and a willingness to engage on the hard stuff.

I'm not saying he's a good man or would make a great prez, but you can't dismiss it as "nutcasery"
