the president is not elected by popular vote, but winner take all state by state. So show me the numbers of how this affects the swing states

When Trump starts blasting him, expect the media to get behind RFK,Jr. That’s actually not a bad thing because the more they see of him, the more he’ll pull from Democrats.

CA just banned the hand counting of ballots.

Trump should only agree to a one on one debate with Biden.

Kennedy has often come out against reparations and top down climate change policy along with concerns over environmental effects of alternative energy. This isn’t going to be hard for him to explain.

Appears RFK Jr has done a 180...i.e. - he’s still a flaming leftwing kook.

RFK just appointed his career CIA daughter-in-law as his campaign advisor.

Nothing says “I’m going to hold the CIA accountable for killing my father and uncle” by appointing a career CIA officer to run his campaign

I’m beginning to understand why his family thinks he’s a nut.

That may be but at least a kook that has come out against a carbon industry that “hijacked” the Inflation Reduction Act which is not exactly an endorsement.

....but with his freshly unveiled position on reparations I wonder if that would be the result.

I'm done with thinking about throwing my vote to RFK Jr (as someone who voted for Trump twice).

While I admire his stance on some issues, reparations is certainly not one!

His generational/family bias is now showing big time. His pandering daddy and uncle have not been forgotten.

If there were any Trump voters who thought about RFK Jr as an alternative -- that's all over now.

Some percentage of polling should not be the test to be in the national debate.

It should be: if the candidate is on the ballots in enough states that if he/she won them all they’d have enough Electoral College votes to be elected, then they should be invited to debate.

No matter how goofy we might think they are, they deserve to be included.

There is no doubt in my mind, that if the Democrat party nominated RFK Jr as their nominee they would win the general election against Trump handily... and I say this as a Trump supporter.

Unfortunately for RFK, the left hates him even more vicerally than they hate Trump so there were never going to let that happen

The family feud has cooled now that he appears to be hurting Trump.

It must be tough running in the middle but he always leaves himself room for improvement. When there is a direct redress that is legal, fair, and wins the approval of Americans of all races we can have a real conversation.

Agreed.

Enough to make you wonder why he entered the race to start with.

Dr. Shiva has long claimed he’s “the not-so-obvious Establishment”.

3-way race. Biden drops outand supports RFK Jr.-why not? He has legitimate health concerns.
Just think. It would bring back Camelot. The unwashed would come back to the dream-good-life royalty and beautiful women in the news daily.

Democrats-their only choice may be to turn on a dime, something they’re good at. I’m sure the rest of the Kennedys would catch on fast. The rest of the voters will follow.

Farfetched? You tell me.
