He’s anti-2nd so eff him.
From News Nation Now:
SOURCE:
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would not pledge to support his party’s nominee, stood by his claims about vaccines and announced that “I want my party back” in his first national town hall presented by NewsNation on Wednesday.
“I’m running because I feel like my party has lost its way,” Kennedy told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas.
Kennedy — an environmental lawyer and nephew of President John F. Kennedy — has positioned himself as a populist set on returning to the “exact values that would have been promoted by my father and uncle.”
Despite never holding elective office, Kennedy’s campaign has generated attention within the party. Among Democrats, Kennedy is polling at 15%, according to a recent Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll. Still, Biden is well ahead at 62%.
In order to win the nomination, Kennedy will have to do something no primary challenger has done in modern U.S. history — unseat an incumbent president for their party’s nomination.
Right out of the gate, Kennedy declined to take the bait and attack his potential opponents.
Vargas asked Kennedy what he thought of Donald Trump after the former president praised him as a “common sense guy” in a recent interview.
The Democratic hopeful said he’s focused on unity, not division.
“I’m not going to attack other people personally,” he said. “What I’m trying to do in this race is bring people together.”
Kennedy had the same attitude toward the current president.
“You won’t hear me saying bad things about President Biden,” Kennedy said. “I’m not going to attack him as a man.”
Instead, Kennedy said he is focused on policy disagreements, such as his differing views on war, censorship and COVID lockdowns.
He has some interesting pro constitutional views. But the left wing loony in him shows through
what’s wrong with his voice??
RFK shot himself in the foot twice in the last 48 hours and has destroyed any chance R conservatives would support him.
*First he denounced the Aff Action decision
*Then he said he’s ban “assault weapons”
So long Bobby, it’s been good to know ye.
Not a completely bad guy. And it would be poetic justice to put him in after what they did to JFK and probably his dad.
But just yesterday he said he would sign an assault rifle ban (Yeah jargon nazis, I know) And he is also all in for the global warming cult. And I can only guess his positions of borders and faggotry. So nope, not even 80% gets me there. The 20% he is for are deal breakers.
But I am happy to watch him throw the DNC into turmoil and he would be better than Newsome.
Other than his anti gun stand he’d be a great Republican.
Still a kennedy so...........
He certainly handled himself well... and despite some loony leftist views, he left the ‘even further left’ stammering in his wake and that’s a good thing.
I think we’ve found our media darling for 2024.
it’s interesting that he chooses to avoid personal attacks ...
that way, when Biden’s crew/the Dem Machine do go after RFK - with their trademark personal attacks, that’s all they know - *they* will wind up looking like the a-holes
Don’t care.
He’s not a Constitutionalist (anti 2A at a minimum).
Listening to RFKJr is like listening to Hubert Humphrey or Joe Lieberman, maybe even Eugene McCarthy in the 1980s when he was saying that the biggest threats to America were the IRS and the FEC. Only people old enough to remember what the Democrats in general were like before the Marxist takeover of the party recognize the mixture of liberal and non-Marxist views in Jr’s positions on issues. That doesn’t make him a desirable President, but anything looks better than what walks in and out of the White House today.
there is someone who doesn’t like Bobbie: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12242961/MAUREEN-CALLAHAN-bet-didnt-know-RFK-Jrs-appalling-misogyny-No-one-dares-ask-would.html
Future scenario:
gop manipulates trump out of winning nomination
dnc manipulates kennedy out of winning nomination
trump/Kennedy join forces as “save country party”
Demoncrats and GOPe big mad, but lose!
Agree to table all agendas except those required to save the country.
Both sides have issues, but enough votes split irreparably to crater two parties
Run spawns candidacy of thousands across country
Trump wins - orders military to take over and reset constitution.
Trials of traitors become a national holiday and the biggest viewed events in history.
Volunteers recruited for firing squads.
🎼Some call me a dreamer, 🎶 but I’m not the only one…🎵
He’s a Kennedy so eff him!
Interesting that he does not say "my father and uncles". I guess Ted doesn't have much respect in the family these days.
I see Kennedy as an old-school Democrat, not the hair-on-fire Leftist/Communist we see running the DNC today.
