Anything can happen nowadays. Committed leftists will vote for Cornel West or Biden. Committed MAGA will vote for Trump. Kennedy voters will be odds and ends from different places. The Democratic Party isn’t what it once was. Democrats aren’t as likely to stray as they once were.

Red State “Bonchie” is a Never Trumper piece of crap.

If he told me the sky was blue I’d have to go outside and check.

I don’t think his analysis is worth a hill of beans.

“This is not good news for Republicans, and there’s empirical evidence to back that up. According to the latest polling, RFK Jr. enjoys a very high approval rating among Republicans while he’s extremely disliked by Democrats.”

Au contraire. He might have a “high approval rating” among Republicans, but does that mean they will actually vote for him? Not when they learn that many of his positions are liberal. For example, abortion.

>>>Every vote RFK2 takes from Biden makes it harder for the Dems to steal the election<<<

Interesting point.

A lib is never wrong about anything.

I’m fine with “Republicans” losing, as long as Trump wins.

RFK Jr. is not going to persuade any significant percentage of Republicans to vote for him, and he might get some Democrats who are completely turned off by Biden to vote for him. What would be more interesting would be RFK Jr's poll numbers with independents.

“not good news for republicans.” What? This is not good news for dimocrats, period. This will start a civil war. Robert has the much revered Kennedy name which still causes dimocrats to swoon. They can’t help themselves. And the dims are increasingly disenchanted with biden and the current dimocrat party. They’re looking for a lifeline.

If voting occurred before anti-Trumpers, and Indies got to know Kennedy, he may siphon some Trump votes as well as significant Biden votes

But, voters do not yet fully know Kennedy. We know DjT. Advantage Trump.

^^^^^ THAT ^^^^^

I live in a rural area. There are quite a few yellow dog democrats here — good people, neighbors, Christians — who HATE what the ‘Rat party has become but just... can’t... bring... themselves not to vote ‘Rat. ‘Cause Daddy did, and Grand-daddy before him, and etc. A lot of ‘em are veterans, too.

They are neither stupid nor evil — most have a helluva work ethic — and they can neither accept NOR DEFEND what the Jao Beidan cabal has done to America. And that inability to DEFEND the current ‘Rat zeitgeist gives them fits.

I predict that they will vote for RFK in droves.

RFK is a lefty. He will take lefty votes.

I don’t believe the garbage that it will “hurt” Trump

Conservatives and Independents will still vote for Trump it’s the hardcore lefties who will find solace in Kennedy’s candidacy IN MY OPINION.

Biden is the one who is screwed.

I grew up in Appalachian Kentucky and that sounds a lot like my people, traditionally dimocrat because grandaddy voted that way but very patriotic and conservative.

RFK Jr will take Trump apart over the “three vaccines all are very, very good,” “beautiful vaccines”, ”one of the greatest achievements of mankind”.

Without a doubt, and rightfully so.

I would likely vote for RFK JR if he is an independent, and I am saddled with Donald (he/him) Trump as the Republican nominee. Why not? On most issues, there's probably not much difference.

And the main issue to me, is, do they support these phony "vaccines" being perpetrated on us, that can lead to instant, if not fairly quick, DEATH. Nothing else threatens me or my family, quite so clearly, and so unavoidably.

If Trump does get hopelessly bogged down in legal issues many on the Right will go towards RFK Jr as a protest vote or alternative..Same for the Dems to some degree..not sure of the percentage but only takes a little.
