A Potentially Meaningful 'What if'

[Mariska Greenleaf]

So neither Sam, nor anyone else, would've actually been able to perform the act of will, and cast the Ring into the Cracks.

true, but...

Would Bombadil, had he been there, destroy the Ring?

...if there is one who could have been able to destroy it, I think it would be Tom, since he seems to be the only one who didn't feel any influence when holding the ring.
