Robert Kennedy Jr. making moves in SC as he seeks to oust Biden from Democratic nomination
The State / MSN ^ | Aug 26 | Story by Joseph Bustos,

Posted on 08/26/2023 4:35:50 PM PDT by RandFan

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his staff want to project the nephew of a late president and member of a storied American political family is a viable and major candidate for the White House, rather than the longshot who’s polling nearly 60 points behind the incumbent president.

Kennedy’s staff introduces him to crowds and journalists as “Mr. Kennedy,” even though he introduced himself to a reporter as “Bobby.”

After Kennedy’s stump speeches, he takes a group photo to show the size of the crowd. Kennedy’s campaign manager, Dennis Kucinich, announces to a Greenville crowd in order to move the long line quickly for individual photos that people not ask for autographs.

Kennedy, who is challenging President Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination, is starting to hire staff and open offices in South Carolina, the state that propelled the president to the 2020 Democratic nomination and to the White House.

But the Democratic Party, which is rallying behind the incumbent president, has been questioning Kennedy’s campaign, including whether he holds the party’s values. Despite those obstacles, Kennedy is bringing his dark horse campaign to South Carolina believing he’s in a position to perform well in the Feb. 3 First in the Nation primary, knowing the Palmetto State could be the ballgame in the nominating contest.

How can he be 60 points behind Biden in the polls?

He's pulling large crowds from the looks of it...

Dead beats and dead people don’t go to political rallies.

Its a scam from the usual suspects. Kennedy has a poll showing he has 24 percent support in South Carolina right now.

I will fuel his campaign significantly in the months ahead I’ve projected spending hundreds of dollars this year and more hundreds next year.

Already given more than 100 dollars.

Two reasons to pray for Kennedy’s safety.

1) His last name, family history.

2) The Obama / Biden Regime will do anything to maintain power.

All of the democRATS and RepublicRATS involved in the Ukrainian money laundering do not want it to stop.

RE: Dead beats and dead people don’t go to political rallies.

But thanks to Dem control of vote counting around the country, the dead rise to vote again and again.

That’s how the City of Detroit has some areas with more Dem votes than people living there and at least two places had “zero” Trump votes——not just a few or a handful, “zero.”
Odd overkill by fraudsters.
News story interview had a
young man now living in his grandfather’s house say the Michigan government sent him an absentee ballot in his grandfather’s name, a man who had been dead for 19 years. “All I needed to do was sign his name and mail it in. I didn’t. How many other people did the opposite?”

Mr. Kennedy does the name Prigozhin mean anything to you?

Please fellow Republicans and Trumpers.
Support this mensch with your precious dollars equal to President Trump. If somehow President Trump could NOT be elected in 2924 I would vote for this guy before Biden or any other deep state candidate.

The crowds he's pulling in aren't Democrats.

Kennedy will never get the nomination. The Democrats use superdelegates to keep their crazies at bay.

What short memories everyone seems to have. If he’s ahead, they’ll do what they did to Sanders last tine.

To make your point, one suspects that among the biggest reasons to NOT have debates is to prevent an upstart Kennedy from "interfering".

Not having genuine choices in the Dem primary also means that Dems are free to vote in GOP primaries (where the nonsensical process is legal) and nominate the weakest GOP candidate.

I may have differences with Mr. Kennedy on some of the issues.

But he, like Donald Trump, is an American.

That cannot be said of those supposed "Citizens of the World" in the Biden "Administration."

No, thanks:

Large-scale hog producers are a greater threat to the United States and U.S. democracy than Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Now we are all learning what it’s like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence... Our destructive addiction has given us a catastrophic war in the Middle East and - now - Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children.

We know more about Tom [Cruise] and Katie [Holmes] than we do about global warming. We’re the most entertained, least informed people in the world.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The next time you see John Stossel or Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, these flat-Earthers, these corporate toadies, lying to you, lying to the American public, and telling you that global warming doesn’t exist. You send an e-mail to their advertisers and tell them that you’re not going to buy their products anymore.

“Live Earth Disappoints With Everything But Shrill Rhetoric”. “Hannity & Colmes” with Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes, www.foxnews.com. July 9, 2007.

Those guys are doing the Koch Brothers bidding and are against all the evidence of the rational mind, saying global warming does not exit. They are contemptible human beings. I wish there were a law you could punish them with. I don’t think there is a law that you can punish those politicians under.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

They’re flourishing under Biden there is no chance of him being deposed.

A huge turnout and revolt needs to happen to “beat the cheat” (margin of fraud) for Trump to depose him I think.

Trump might yet prevail. Similar to 2016.

Someone will casually pull the head of the SC D party aside and explain to them that their position in the primary rankings is tied to their ability to deliver a win for Biden. And it’ll happen. Somehow or another.
