who is Rocky De La Fuente?

Bernie Sanders received 69% of the vote in the Democrats Abroad’s Global Presidential Primary (34,570 voters cast their ballots from over 170 countries all around the world), Hillary Clinton got 31%. Sanders picks up 9 pledged delegates as a result of the primary, while Clinton secures an additional 4 delegates. 

But the burning question is; who the hell is Rocky De La Fuente, who got 6 votes? And not one of those votes came from the Netherlands, although I initially thought that this person (blue hair) I saw when we voted here in Amsterdam might have been a Rocky fan.

Well, it turns out he is an actual Democratic candidate for President. Who knew? To date, he has 0 delegates, although he picked up 8,425 votes in the Texas primary, coming in 3rd place! 

Rocky!
