Fears surge over Democrat plot to keep RFK Jr off ballots as Biden support plummets
Daily Express US ^ | 12/10/23 | David Maddox

A leading political expert in the US has warned that there will be an attempt by the Democrats to stop Robert F. Kennedy from being on the ballots in their stronghold states because they fear he will split their vote.

With RFK set to run as an independent candidate in the Presidential election next year, polling by Washington DC-based think tank Democracy Institute has revealed he is gaining in support and taking votes away from the Democrats.

Patrick Basham, director of the Democracy Institute, believes a plan is already in place to try to stop Kennedy, who is the latest candidate from America's most famous political family, from being on the ballot in states where Democrats are Governors.

There is a fear that RFK could split the vote in safe states like California and actually hand the electoral college votes to Donald Trump and the Republicans.

Basham likened the RFK campaign to that of Trump asking "why the Democrats and establishment are trying to crush him."

Funny.

I want RFK Jr. on the ballot to hurt Newsom in his run. By that time “Biden” will be a memory and people will say “What a breath of fresh air Newsom is. What a great progressive President he will be.”

RFK Jr. may cut into that.

He must be punished and silenced because he questioned whether it was wise to force the public, including young children, to take an experimental injection.

You’re right. It’s sheer panic over there. One poster claimed Trump stole the 2016 election. Idiots, all of them!

“...there will be an attempt by the Democrats to stop Robert F. Kennedy from being on the ballots...”

It worked with his father.

keeping Kennedy and Trump off the ballot proves what equal opportunity law breakers they are...

When the Democrats used similar subversion against Bernie Sanders in 2016, Seth Rich righteously (if foolishly) tried to do something about it.

One lesson I took away from that whole affair was confirmation what a low-life scum Bernie Sanders is

Never once spoke about Seth Rich or his efforts

Never criticized the Democrat Party or how they used/abused his supporters

Simply took his money, bought another house, and scurried back under his rock
