“Might as well go with Cynthia McKinney.”

Well, why not? Would she really clash with him philosophically at all?

IMO, this is great news.

He has chosen a well-heeled, hard-core Leftist who will fund his campaign, get him on all the ballots, and siphon off many more D voters than R’s.

Between RFKJ, West, Stein, et al, things are looking about as good as they can for Trump in re to the actual field.

If he draws too many anti-Biden votes, I won’t want to be a fly on the wall in Congress. They’re liable to try to overturn the system and call for a “coalition” with Biden and Kennedy —
Bizarre? What does TDS not make people do?

What is the generally accepted opinion at present? Is RFK Jr. a bigger threat to Pres. Trump or to Biden? (I.e., from whom might he be expected to "siphon off" more votes?)

In my estimation, he's a bigger threat to Biden - unless he pulls some stunt and withdraws prematurely, urging all his voters to switch to Biden. (Probably already "baked in" to his campaign strategy.)

I expect some sort of chicanery along those lines this autumn.

Once RFK’s politics become more familiar than his last name, I believe only independents and Democrats will be tempted to vote for him. That’s IF he is still on the ballot in November.
Then IF he wins, say, 20 percent of the EV, Biden 35 and Trump 45...that’s when my nightmare gets underway. We have people in Congress, Democrats mostly, who don’t give a damn about the law, who will tear it all down rather than allow DJT to return to the White House. There would be full-on pandemonium if Trump won with around 240 votes.
Unlikely RFK will have that much of an effect on the outcome. But not impossible.

I've seen in congressional hearings how the left attacks him with false accusations, things out of context, and straight out lies. Similar to the way they attack Trump, so I would not have much faith in what you posted. I am sure if you researched his side of the story or the complete context of each story context for most (maybe not all) the story would be completely different. THEY FEAR HIM (Dems and Press) and I don't believe a damn thing the media says.

I am 100% x 10 for Trump, but we should be a little fair and not blindly give weight to the media's opinion. Here is what his running mate looks like and I hope he takes over 33% of the democrat votes.

Unfortunately I am technically challenge to post a picture of Ms. Shanahan, but from what I saw in Google Images, my conclusion is Not Guilty.

That’s a heck of a list.

Seems like he’s more likely to take votes away from Democrats than Republicans.

Works for me!

Apparently she had an affair with Elon Musk.

But if she's paying for RFK Jr's campaign, then it's a good deal.

It is accurate and it is all right there for you to click on and review - as you can tell it is almost entirely from the archives of this very website.
