Please note that Redstate is a GOP establishment mouthpiece.
They’re panicking over Junior because he takes votes away from establishment Republicans. Look, Trump supporters aren’t going to vote for someone else. Trump has his base locked in. That’s why this hack Bonchie is writing this.
Thanks!... Good to see some, like yourself, have their EYES OPEN and see what's unfolding.
Trump’s base (those who will vote only Trump and nobody else) is about 20% of the electorate.
Correct. Why does it matter if Trump voters like him; why wouldn’t Trump voters vote for Trump? Trump’s problem isn’t that his supporters are too luke-warm; it’s that he inspires absolute hatred among so many people that they also come out in droves. How many Democrats and swing-voters hate Biden, but not so much they’d vote for Trump? These are your Kennedy voters.
From the article: “According to the latest polling, RFK Jr. enjoys a very high approval rating among Republicans while he’s extremely disliked by Democrats.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
RedState forgets that Biden ain’t exactly killing it with Democrats. I believe RFK would siphon off more Democrat voters than Trump voters.
And, EEE, you are exactly correct in saying that RedState is the GOP Establishment’s mouthpiece, much like Bill Kristol’s National Review.
Actually, I think the article is mostly correct. RFK and Trump are anti-regime candidates. Biden and No labels parties are pro-regime candidates.
That is how the vote will sort in 2024. Pro or anti regime.
RFK gives U’s that don’t care for Trump’s style but that see we live under a deeply corrupt and totalitarian government a way to vote anti regime.
Mostly true. Would add, Biden-Newsom would have to invent double the number of fake votes of 2020, and I would imagine no clear winner in the electoral college.
Trump's base can get him the nomination, but not the election. Just like the last election.
Don’t we need republican establishment votes too?
Correct. I like RFK Jr. but I will certainly vote for Trump.
Notice Redstate: We’ll see what happens, but RFK Jr. getting in the race is going to suck up precious resources from a Republican electorate that is already seeing most of its money spent on legal bills.
He couldn’t resist taking a jab at Trump and leaves a corrupt DOJ strictly alone.
I voted for Trump twice. I much prefer RFK and will vote for him
Indeed. I wouldn’t trust RedState on anything. All one need do is reflect back on Erick Erickson’s affiliation with it.
It really chaps my butt that the Goofball Erick has gotten Rush’s old time slot on ATL radio. A dyed-in-the-wool Trump hater, IMO.
