I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I think he could pull off the Democrat nomination.

Its going to be interesting to see what resources are used to try and keep him from gaining momentum.

For Freepers: keep an eye on what I call "oblique advocacy posts" here. They tend to show up here every four years (like suspended handle Oak007 showing up with with early DeSantis trial balloons). Also keep an eye on the shills--they'll telegraph what the Deep State/Uniparty narrative will be.

If he gets the nomination. It will be the second time I vote for a Democrat for president. The first was Jimmy Carter when I was 18. Jimmy turned out to be a bad president but was and still is a great human being.

So you are counting on a normal person being able to attract votes from dem primary voters. With more people calling themselves independents, I wonder if "moderate" dems and libs will even vote in the dem primaries.

I can picture the parade of the various special interest dem primary voters going to a polling place; it will look like dree lunch time at the carnival. The ride operators with tattoos, piercings and a lack of teeth look like the normal people.

A Kennedy? Of course he could. The Dems' dream candidate ... even though today's Dem party is nothing like JFK's Dem party.

I don’t think the CIA will let him make it that far.

He filed the paperwork earlier this month and announced yesterday. More power to him. I’m just surprised there haven’t been more challengers to Biden.

It’d be better if RFK Jr ran as an indie. The cabal pushing Biden has a lock on the dem nomination.

His candidacy is going to catch fire, lightning in a bottle. He will poll just behind Biden and surprise him by winning NH and Iowa, capturing the Bern’ers. RFK’s entry makes Gruesome a non-starter. And like i have previously stated, 2024 is looking a lot more like 2016. If RFK is Deep State’d or simply forced out, the BernBots will sit on their hands, giving Trump another Rust Belt sweep.

As many times as his massive Kennedy ego demands.

Democrats are a gang. The way I see it, don’t run for office unless they’re told to by the leaders

They’ll squash kennedy. Anti vax? Nope

I don’t know why kennedys don’t just drop the pro abortion and anti Catholic crap and become republicans

I’m considering registering as a democrat to vote for him in the primary against Biden. Some of his statements confirm what I have long believed: the political spectrum is not a straight line, but instead is circular. His comments on the war is more in alignment with Conservatives than it is with the neocons. He was also early and spot on regarding the vaccine.

He is such a great human being he said that Trump wasn’t really elected in 2016, that the Russians put him in. Yeah, a really great man.

I was expecting Newsome to be the one...but a Kennedy beats both Newsome and Biden. Notice Biden isn't objecting.

So maybe in the end...Kennedy and Newsome as VP. I'm sure they've already worked out the deal....no matter what Joe says.
