Third-party candidates start off with a flash, then settle down into the single digits. Outside of Perot, very few third-party candidates have made an impact beyond being a spoiler in close races, like Stein and Nader.

Plus, in RFK Jr's case, the more people get to know him, the more his support will drop among independents and Democrats. If Rs want to vote for him and take votes from Trump, I'm fine with that.
