Think of 2016, when the "frontrunner" in the Republican primary seemed to change weekly - including people most of us never heard of like 999 Herman Cain. Look at our primaries, how many ever heard of Marianne Williamson or Andrew Yang? Yang may be the closest counterpart to Ramaswamy -- and for a brief instance he ranked as high as Ramaswary.
This IS the time where someone could come from nowhere and get traction.
