Yes, he got more votes than Gabbard in both Florida and Illinois.  Of course, he was the only non-Trump Republican option in Illinois, since Weld didn't qualify for the ballot there.

What are Rocky's actual policy positions? I've looked them up in the past but I couldn't find anything. Does he have any?

Nothing coherent. His website is literally I like good things I dislike bad things.

This is literally all it says under "social security" on his website:

Quote
Our Social Security system is eradicated and needs to be fixed immediately. There is only one solution: raise the retirement age and raise the contributions cap.

This is particularly funny because he not only uses the word "eradicated" incorrectly, but says "there is only one solution" and proceeds to propose two solutions.

Btw, as a percentage of votes cast in each party's primary so far (as distinct from raw # of votes), The Green Papers now has Gabbard at 0.67% of all Dem votes cast and De La Fuente at 0.59% of all GOP votes cast nationally:

https://www.thegreenpapers.com/P20/R

De La Fuente might be able to catch up, but my guess is probably not, especially if Sanders drops out of the race, and Gabbard is the "only" alternative to Biden who's still in the Dem. race.  Tongue

This is quite eradicated if you ask me

The only reason I voted for him in the 2016 Democratic primary was because O'Malley wasn't on the ballot anymore, and his rhetoric seemed inoffensive enough. I knew he was more moderate than me, but it seemed like a fair decision at the time.

On the other hand, I also know someone who registered as a Democrat to vote in that primary solely to vote against Hillary Clinton twice, and he too voted for de la Fuente.

From what I gather, de la Fuente is pretty moderate and is focused on realigning the economy, kind of like Yang but without anything resembling a signature policy issue like the Freedom Dividend.
