Kennedy represents a real threat to Trump's winning battleground states because Kennedy campaigns to the right of Trump on several issues. Granted, Kennedy is a reliable leftist on most issues.

Kennedy asserts that he has a poll of 26,000 respondents showing that on a one-to-one campaign he would swamp Biden and edge out Trump for the election. Without commenting on the reliability of the poll, it indicates that Kennedy probably has the power to draw enough votes away in close swing states from Trump to cost us the election against Biden.

It would not be hard for Kennedy to look more presidential than Biden on the stage and the debate could then resolve itself into a debate between two men in the eyes of the public both worthy of the office, Kennedy and Trump.

There always exists the possibility, however remote, that the Democrats, acting out of desperation over Biden's performance and his forlorn hope in the election, actually run Robert Kennedy against Trump and that might proof a real squeaker.

I for one am glad Kennedy has been excluded, however unfairly.

Your response illustrates how difficult it is to gage RFK’s impact. My fear was the Libertarians making him their candidate. My hope was he would run for the Greens, which is where he really belongs.
I have not seen you post recently, l hope you are well.
