WBUR - New Hampshire Public Radio ^ | March 06, 2023 | Josh Rogers

During a visit to St. Anselm College Friday, environmental activist and vaccine skeptic Robert Kennedy Jr. told a capacity crowd that he’s considering a presidential run.

“I’m thinking about it, and I’ve passed the biggest hurdle, which is my wife has green lighted it,” Kennedy said to cheers after a morning speech at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.

Might make an interesting candidate for the Democrats to run with.

The Kennedy name lost its cachet some time ago. The best known John Kennedy today is a somewhat conservative from Louisianne.

Yep.

I do admire his tenacity with the COVID/vaxx scam.

However...I will never vote for a Democrat ever again.

When I was young and stupid...I voted for Clinton the first time. And a friend (D) who always ran for County License Clerk (has now passed).

Times have changed.

A Kennedy in a Primary Verses a Biden might really shake up the Democrat Party.

No it will not. Biden will steam roll over this guy, just like Ed Markey did in Massachusetts last year. Never underestimate Biden's electoral prowess again.

“A Kennedy in a Primary Verses a Biden might really shake up the Democrat Party.”

I think he’d draw a lot of Republican voters, he’s the closest thing to a normal person the Dems got in the ranks. His big drawback is his speaking voice - it’s hard to listen to, sounds like an elderly Kate Hepburn.

I'm also old enough to remember when there were still some decent people in the Democrat Party. Their politics were off but they weren't necessarily bad people. I'm not sure that I can name one national Democrat politician today whom I would consider a good human being. Being a Democrat today means supporting a lot of truly evil and treasonous things.

There is a good chance the economy will be in absolute ruins by then, worse than now much worse. Too bad this guy is such a Climate crazy. The rats control the voting I every swing state now. We have to hope a rat gets the nomination who won’t finish the complete destruction of the country. Another Biden term will do just that.

If he could possibly move the Democrat Party back towards the center, it would be a wonderful opportunity.

He wrote the million-seller book: The Real Anthony Fauci, did the world a huge favor for just that. Apparemt;y, a conservative. Relatively attractive guy (all Kennedys are). But he has a weird voice, wrecked by years of heroine addiction, which he did get over and speaks about quite well. I like and respect him a lot but find him difficult to listen to.

Other than that, prime candidate. #$@$

RFK JR better watch it. FBI could show up at his home late at night searching for an expired parking ticket.

He’s got the ball rolling.

I agree with his COVID/vax stance, but he’s an environmentalist. RFK Jr’s most dangerous quality is his sincerity. He absolutely, 100%, believes in what he says. He’s genuine. Contrast that to Biden. I have no idea if Democrat voters will pickup on that.
