Consider the parallels between Robert F. Kennedy’s campaign for POTUS and the Bernie Sanders debacle. In both cases, Americans witness an entrenched Democrat juggernaut of corrupt power brokers who believe they get to choose who will be the Democrat candidate -- not their own primary-voting Democrat electorate. In both cases, every trick or gimmick is pulled by the Dems and legacy media to discredit the challenger in favor of the anointed.
In both cases, the discredited candidate would fare better than the establishment favorite against Donald Trump in the general election.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will be a mightier opponent to topple than socialist sell-out Bernie, and sad sack Joe is even more unappealing than Hillary Clinton in 2016. Though he is an incumbent, for Biden that is a liability -- the economy is teetering, but not as greatly as “Old Joe.” The media that challenged Donald Trump’s mental health are not critically assessing Biden’s physical competence to navigate events or climb stairs, let alone serve another term. But voters will.
An NBC News poll reported that 70 per cent of Americans believe Joe Biden should not run in the 2024 presidential election, including more than half of Dems. But the Democrat powers that be have reannointed Joe as their best chance against Donald Trump, ignoring whether he has any chance at all against RFK, Jr. in a fair fight.
Despite attempts to paint him up with the halo effect of his former boss, Joe Biden ain’t no Barack Obama! Most Americans do not want a John Fetterman for president in 2024: some perceive they already have one, or one on the brink, in Joe Biden.

Yes. I can't help but think that as a Kennedy he's just another deep state jerk regardless of the things he says we may agree with.
I believe RFK, Sr. also sincerely loved his country and had its best interests at heart.
RFK Jr is right about a LOT more than Bernie ever was.
He certainly would be a VASTLY more dangerous opponent in a general election.
But the Democrat party establishment will make sure it never comes to that. They have more levers of power to use against insurgent candidates than the Republican party establishment does - eg super delegates.
The good news is that in blatantly screwing him over and showing how corrupt they really are, they will push a lot of people into the Trump camp.
