RFK's wife actress Cheryl Hines.

Recently some liberals became incensed at the actor Woody Harrelson. His offense was being photographed wearing a campaign hat for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while posing with Kennedy's wife, actress Cheryl Hines. Left-wing Twitter soon became very angry, with one user declaring Harrelson "dead to me."
An early comment on Hines's Instagram page explained the reason for the anger. "You might as well be wearing a MAGA hat," it said, "because that's who a Kennedy campaign will elect." In recent weeks, many Democrats have coalesced around the idea that support for Kennedy would equal support for former President Donald Trump, in that Kennedy's candidacy could cut into support for President Joe Biden, therefore increasing Trump's chances of regaining the White House.
It doesn't help, for Kennedy's support among Democrats, that some conservative news outlets have given him extensive coverage, while some legacy news outfits have been highly critical. "I've been really slammed in a way that I think is unprecedented," Kennedy told Fox News in July. "I mean, listen, if I believed the stuff that's written about me in the papers and reported about me on the mainstream news sites, I would definitely not vote for me."
The attacks in news outlets most read and watched by most Democrats have taken a toll. After peaking in April, Kennedy's support, as measured in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls of Democratic voters, has steadily fallen.
Kennedy's highest level of support was 20%, in late April. Then, in late May, it slipped to 16.8%, a substantial drop in the course of a couple of days. By June 22, it fell to 14% and has hovered around that level ever since. It is now at 13.6%. In all, Kennedy's support has dropped by about a third since his campaign began to attract significant public attention. That is not the mark of campaign momentum.
Kennedy's slide probably reflects a deep fear among Democrats that even a protest challenge to Biden could damage the president's fragile support. Yes, Biden has a huge lead, 63 points, over Kennedy in the Democratic race. (Another candidate, Marianne Williamson, has 6% support.) But polls of head-to-head matchups between Biden and Trump look terribly risky for the current president. Right now, Biden has a 0.7-point lead over Trump in the RealClearPolitics average of one-on-one matchups. The last three polls of a Biden-Trump contest show Biden up by a single point in two of them and tied in the third. Why wouldn't Democrats worry that any challenge to Biden could weaken him against Trump?
Friday morning, Politico published a report suggesting that the Biden team is becoming more hopeful about the president's chances. The reason has nothing to do with Kennedy or any other challenger. Instead, Biden's strategists, buoyed by the recent election in Ohio, "believe the voters' enthusiasm about abortion rights could also unlock new roads to another term." Perhaps that is true, but only if the president can ensure there are no significant challenges inside his own party.

obama is in charge...
Biden has the media on his side, and they are cracking the whip for him. Democrats who three months ago were feeling Bidenskeptic are now back on board.
I really like. RFK, Jr. for many reasons. But the Dems fear him so much they denied him Secret Service protection that other candidates get. The Dems are incredibly small minded. As in moronic jerks.

The #ing Rats are deranged Marxists
The DemonRat Party has become a clear and present danger to the nation.
So all those good Catholics who vote dem like Joes stand on abortion rights
That was said about Trump as well.
With efforts to convict Trump and downsize RFK, one might imagine a four-man race developing after the convention business next year...with Biden, and DeSantis heading the main tickets and Trump and RFK running as independents.
No one would achieve 270 Electoral votes, and the top three would move onto the House for a state-by-state election.
They’ve been traitors for a long time.
Decades. Arguably since their inception.
They’ve never been closer to overthrowing the Republic though.
Not even during the Civil War IMO.
Obama was never more than a good front man. He is not in charge of anything. But he is still useful as a spokesman for the faction that originally put him in office. He does what they want him to do.
That same faction is currently running the Biden administration, as most of the handlers worked in the Obama administration. It is a convenient mental shortcut to call that the "Obama" faction, while remembering that the real controllers do not have names commonly known to the public.
Trump got lucky. The Clinton faction got complacent and stupid and failed to pay attention.
The "Obama-Biden" faction wised up and put maximum effort into fraud for the 2020 election. It worked. They are paying attention now, and the entire "Deep State" is fully engaged to keep Trump from being elected again. "By any means necessary" as the Leftists are so fond of saying.
They aren't going to tolerate RFK or anybody else who could genuinely threaten their powers. And all options are on the table for them. They intend to rule over us without restraints, for the rest of their lives.
We will find out how long that may be. Plans seldom work quite as well as expected.
He may be “in charge” but because he can’t afford to be honest, he is not “large and in charge”. Nevertheless, he remains “at large” and one day he’ll be ripe for the pickin’.
Trump has company
There are many who thought that trump was God’s choice and needed to happen simply because of Israel and the end times events.
Personally, I suspect that it was God giving us yet another opportunity to turn back to doing right and turn to Him. We didn’t.
