Karl Rove: Democrats ‘should worry’ about RFK Jr.
The Hill ^ | 03/28/2024 | LAUREN SFORZA

Posted on 03/28/2024 7:34:24 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Republican strategist Karl Rove said the Democrats “should worry” about Robert F. Kennedy’s Jr. independent bid for the White House.

Democrats ramped up their criticism of Kennedy after he announced Nicole Shanahan as his running mate Tuesday. Fox News’s Bret Baier asked Rove on “America Reports” whether Democrats should be concerned about Kennedy’s campaign potentially hurting President Biden’s reelection efforts.

“Well, they should worry. In 2016, third party candidates got 5.8 percent of the vote. That’s one out of every 17 voters cast a ballot for third-party candidates. And in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, the Green Party candidate got more votes than Hillary Clinton lost some states by,” he said Wednesday.

Doncha love how people like Rove get paid big bucks to tell us what we already know.

A masterful grasp of the obvious.

Here is who RFK jr. will appeal to.

Gen Z, and to some degree Millenials.
Not all of them of course, but the climate-change, tiktok, THC-vaping types who don’t think Biden on their level.

We think of Biden is a big lefty (or his handlers are), but he is more of the marxist, hate america type. He doesn’t appeal to the young batty lefty types. The work from home, not for the man types.

RFK is going to take some of the under 40 vote, which Biden is losing anyway. Biden is toast, both mentally and electorally.

MAGA Republicans should worry about Karl Rove.

Obama and Clinton are in a panic and organizing a Hollywood Star studded fund raiser for Biden's failing campaign.

More advertising for rotting fish is unlikely to improve sales....

Maybe the Streisand Effect will kick in and RFK might actually gain more votes from being given so much attention.

I think that he pulls many more from the left than from the right. And his VP pick confirms his left-leaning views.

I hope De Niro shows up to say F Donald Trump. It’s always so amusing.

if he was on the ballot maybe, but I think he is only technically on the ballot in one state.

The hand-wringing by Democrats over RFKJ is an example of “don’t throw me into the briar patch!” His presence in the race will allow them cover for the vote fraud, because they won’t have to throw all the stolen votes to Biden in order to take the victory away from Trump. It’ll make Trump’s loss look more plausible.

Wild Prediction: Old Two-Tooth Joe will go the way of Joe Liberman before the DNC in Chicago. The delegates will look around and will see that Venn Diagram Lover is not up to the task. They will look around and pick RFK Jr and Nicole “I Spread Them for Billionaires” Shanahan as their new candidates.

Mostly agree with you.

From Trump-2020 numbers, RFK will take less than 2-percent of that number.

From Biden-2020 numbers, now after the RFK VP has been announced....I think in five to ten states...it’ll be 15-percent of Biden’s 2020 numbers. Toss out the bulk of absentee Covid ballots, and Biden has a bigger problem brewing.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has chosen Nicole Shanahan to be his vice presidential pick.

And I hear that she is as far left as they get. Ties to Soros.
That brings who Kennedy really is to light.

Is Kennedy on the ballot in WI MI and PA? Those are the crucial states. If Biden wins them all then he’s reelected.
