Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Tries Creating Own Party to Get on Ballot in 6 States:

Election offices in North Carolina, Delaware and Hawaii confirmed that they had received the campaign’s applications for a new party, as did the Texas secretary of state’s office. The Mississippi secretary of state’s office said it had received partial paperwork, and California’s office said it had not received a filing.

That will cause a problem for our grassroots activist group We the People Orange County, which is Christian and conservative.

Good move…….. for trump?

[MotorCityBuck]

Excellent news.

[Husker24]

The party name sounds too patriotic to skim any Left Wing votes, he might get a handful of Republican votes in California. Trump has no chance of winning the state anyway.

[No name given]

Yes, very.

If RFK takes a large chunk of Biden votes, some of these otherwise unattainable blue states can tip to Trump

Trump needs to cut a deal with RFK, Jr. Trump will tell his voters to vote for RFK, Jr., in CA, and RFK, Jr. will tell his voters to vote for Trump in PA, GA, MI, etc. RFK, Jr. winning electoral votes in the right states guarantees at worst a contingent election in the U.S. House of Representatives. That is RFK, Jr.'s hope and it means no Rat president, unless our Congress critters betray us yet again. Congressional candidates need to be put on the record about a contingent election in the House.

RFK will be taking votes from those who are anti-vax and believe there should be some accountability for the COVID debacle.

I don't think these are Biden voters.

I am hearing rumours that Kennedy might be vp for trump !!??

I hope not , we need him as a third party

Let him run as a third party and get him nominated on every battle state

Trump needs to make sure Kennedy runs as third candidate

If the RINOs find some way to eliminate Trump from running, and replace him with a RINO, would conservatives vote for the RINO, or for Kennedy?

[Drago]

Am I missing something? He missed all the filing deadlines:

Some kind of exception for “new parties” with signatures?? I may have to check.

That looks like for the primary - he doesn’t care about the primary

Trump voters would stay home and the GOP would be over

[dfwgator]

I will not vote for another Romney-Like candidate again.

If the GOP dies, it dies.

[Vermont Lt]

Kennedy is a climate loon and general liberal on most things conservative.

----------------------
OK, yeah that makes sense...new party designation for the general election then.
I guess the new party will declare him the "winner" of the new parties' "primary" and get him on the general election ballot.

"Never mind" and now back to the thread... 😉

[Dave W]

That’s not going to happen. I wouldn’t worry about it for one second.

[Dave W]

It is not for the primary.
