Ross Perot ran as a third Party candidate against Bush and Clinton which caused Clinton to win two terms. This is not good for Trump.

The weaker candidate (Bush) suffered the most at the hands of Perot.

The same will happen now.

Brandon is by far the weakest POTUS candidate ever.

Ross Perot ran as an anti-establishment candidate in 1992 and tilted the electoral college for Clinton, a Washington outsider. I think the same thing will happen in 2024. RFK's candidacy will hurt Diaper Man far more than Trump.

But Perot was bizarro Kennedy. Perot had an overall message that a appealed to conservatives. Kennedy’s OVERALL message appeals to the left.

Ross Perot was a conservative. Kennedy is a liberal. Big difference.

The Trump campaign would need to figure out the profile of people who were switching from him to Kennedy. Chances are many of them would be turned off by Kennedy's anti-carbon fuel positions. Portray Kennedy and Biden as having the same anti-oil, anti-coal positions on energy. Then attack on Kennedy about that.
