RFK Jr Taps directly into that anti-ukraine, antivax, Bernie bro to Trump 2016 voter demographic
Trump should debate him. They can talk about why the president didn’t go through with the Vaccine Safety Commission and why Kennedy jumped ship. If there was no payout and pharma shills were indeed not high in his administration it should be fairly straightforward to oppose.
You’d be surprised how many newer Trump voters would take RFK as second choice because of some anti-establishment/anti-vax soundbites
Me too, I figured that was the point of this particular environmental lawyer/Hollywood guru.
I voted for DJT twice, I will site the election out if RFK is vp on ticket.
Been trying to tell folks. RFK’s messenging is nearly identical to Trumps.
If Dems made RFK their nominee they would wind handily.
Unfortunately the Dems will never do this.
People assuming RFK will harm the Dems more than Trump I think are being naive.
Watch what the press does, if after the initial announcement dies down if they still actively and regularly cover him then the press/Dems believe he hurts Trump more than the D’s. If however they rarely cover him after that they have concluded he harms the democrats more
Another Ross Pirogue fiasco.
Media spin at its finest. No matter what happens it is always spun as “bad for Trump.”
But two weeks ago:

Another Ross Pirogue (dinghy) fiasco.
“MAGA people don’t seem like Kennedy people.”
Nah, but the salty crackers in the Republican party who can’t stand the base picking the nominee will probably go vote for him.
When they say Republicans, they mean UniParty Hacks...like those who support DeSantis.
While this is true, MAGA voters are far from monolithic on this one issue.
Most people will or will not take the shot based on their own reasons. But to be forced to do so, on punishment of losing one’s job, is indeed anti-American and unconstitutional. Trump was and has always been against the mandate.
THAT is the difference.
And of course, beside the jab, there are dozens of issues Trump stands for and promotes/made into law while president that RFKJr is actually against, and stands with democrats on; it is easy for a MAGA person to choose Trump.
Unless of course a person thinks they are superior in intellect and judgement against all those dumb, smelly deplorables the elites (both on the Left and the Right) have made straw men of...
The last time a Republican had a Democrat for his running mate was 1864.
BTTT
JFK is probably the most over-rated President ever, but every Democrat President since JFK has been worse.
No, this was a planned statement from the beginning.
Realize this. If the left is sure that RFK Jr will take more votes from Biden than President Trump, the left will insure that RFK Jr is not in the race in any capacity.
Now we have RFK Jr making this statement that his researchers determined that, in fact, his entering as an independent would in fact help Biden.
So, this is spectacularly stupid on its face. If in fact what he stated was truthful (it isn’t), then he’s simply admitting that he has no chance of winning the race and would be in it to get Biden over the hump. This is the opposite of why he’s declaring he’s entering the race, which is to “Win”.
So, what is his purpose? To win, or to help Biden win?
This makes no sense on its face, IMO.
RFK Jr. has sincerely questioned the COVID shots.
He was up front in opposition to them.
President Trump sincerely sped up COVID shot development “Operation Warp Speed” so there is a divergence between the two.
President Trump wasted time in recent years trying to get some sort of credit for “Operation Warp Speed” he figures there’s votes in it.
But RFK Jr. position closer to mine than President Trump’s.
Rapid Vaccine Development=More Flaws In The Vaccine
Most vaccine conspiracy theorists were on the far left of the political spectrum.
It was pretty amazing when the far right went antivax only in 2020.
Now they are not only anti Covid vaccine, but I know some who are now refusing to vaccinate their children for all diseases.
Not getting the tetanus shot for your kid seems like a poor decision, but they’ve become completely irrational about vaccines, and I don’t doubt that they might vote for RFK Jr.
Of course, HIS poll says he takes more from Trump, so he gains favor with his fellow RATS. More BS from the left.
Exactly. There is no way he would concede that running independent could possibly benefit Trump. Admitting this would drive potential supporters away from him.
He is simply doing what’s known as talking your book.
