I have not decided yet who I think an RFK Jr independent ticket would help the most. I will be interested to read the comments.
Democrat voters are not interested in him and their interest will drop completely as the media works it and the nutty guys keep embracing him as the answer to something or other.
Trump has to control the narrative, make the election a debate about Climate, 2nd amendment, tax policy then it’ll split off Rats but the media will try to make the election a referendum on COVID do that he’ll pull from Trump.
Doesn’t hurt Trump, only helps.
RFK is
*anti-gun
*pro-abort
*climate jihadist who wants to “lock up” climate “deniers”
*wants to destroy the U.S. plastics industry
*opposes the Court’s affirmative action decision.
Only the most radically anti-vax people would overlook all this to vote for him.
NONE of this describes the 10-13 million Trump-only voters who are not R, not D, hate both parties. RFK might suck 1% from them, but he’d take far more from Rutabaga.
Truman was supposed to lose in 1948 because Wallace was taking votes from the left of the Dem party and Thurmond taking the right of the Dem party.
There are differing opinions.
I will watch how Liberal Media reacts to his announcement.
Will they Welcome Him or Trash Him?
That should tell us all we need to know.
most articles say he would peel off republican votes
this is the first I’ve seen that he would hurt the dem vote
i like that he stood up to big pharma
but that is not a deciding issue for me
I'm thinking back to 1980 when many pundits assumed John Anderson running as third party candidate would hurt Reagan. The opposite happened. He drew votes away from the incumbent, namely Jimmy Carter. Ditto for 2024.
It would be ironic if a member of the Kennedy clan saved America by running on a third party ticket.
