I read the article you suggested. It was interesting, but it certainly did not convince me that RFK Jr. is doing this just to hurt Trump or break up the populist movement. In the late 60s, George Wallace was a Democrat about Segregation, but also against the whole hippie culture. He ran 3rd Party, and got a lot of votes, winning several states in what had been a southern Democrat stronghold. Those Democrats voted Independent, and a few years later voted Reagan.

Party realignments can take generations, and the Dem Party machinery is certainly not going RFK Jr's way. They have a taste of Big Pharma and Big Legal money, and they are addicted. RFK Jr. himself is a white elephant, as he is a climate change goon, a pro-abort, and seems to have treated women the way Kennedys treat women.

No one is going to change a vote from RFK Jr. to Trump, but there will be csome going from Warren or Sanders to RFK Jr. As the Mrs. Clinton/Obama wing consolidate the corporate fascism/cultural leftism of the new Democrats, some of those RFK Jr. supporters might eventually find their way to the Republican Party, provided we can chase out the Never Trumpers. Funny how the WSJ states that Trump cannot be "re-installed" but any ol' Democrat of the Biden stripe can be tolerated, because, Democracy, you know.

Agree that he isn’t in it to take Trump votes. I was struck by the fact that the hit pieces are beginning for Kennedy, betraying a fear of siphoned voted from brandon. In any event, I trust him only for that.

“RFK Jr. himself is a white elephant, as he is a climate change goon, a pro-abort, and seems to have treated women the way Kennedys treat women.”

I couldn’t have said it any more succinctly than that.

Interesting reference to George Wallace; I recall vividly his statement that there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the two parties. He may have been a segregationist, but he could sure read political trends and foretell generations down the line.

The only reason to notice an ascension by RFKJ is in the hope he functions as the democrat Perot in the election.

Good talking.
