Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. responded to former President Trump's allegations he is a "Democrat plant" and would be a "wasted protest vote," challenging the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to a debate.

Interesting opportunity. If President Trump can back RFK Jr into claiming he is the real Democrat candidate, it could put the nail in the coffin for Biden.

A bit risky, but leaving it to the Democrat machine to call the plays is even more of a risk.

Forget it.

Although I must say RFK jr is no more articulate than Biden.

If the Dems wanted the win they would have nominated RFK. As a Trump supporter I can tell ya that RFK would cakewalk to the presidency had he been the democrat nominee…

The Dems/Uniparty do not want RFK Jr… if they did he would have been the Dem nominee.

nothing to be gained by debate with the C team. rfk should be after biden for a debate opportunity where they can decimate each other properly.

Stupidly risky. Why challenge a Biden-vote magnet? Is Pres. Trump really that fearful of losing some votes to a guy who says a very few reasonable things but a whole lot of crazy Democrat things? This election isn’t just about Biden, it’s about Democrat policies that will go on even if Biden has to be replaced.

Funny how Trump aligns him with the Dems to keep any Trump voters from thinking he’s an alternative. Then he tells the Dems that voting for RFK is a wasted protest vote so that those on the fence will think Trump doesn’t control them and they’ll vote RFK. Classic Jujitsu moves.

Exactly. Outside of his opposition to the COVID vaccine you can check off the list of all the things RFK Jr is in agreement with the left. I contend that when people really get a chance to listen to him often on the campaign trail this summer and fall they’re going to think he’s fragile with that gravelly voice affected by Spasmodic dysphonia. It won’t inspire confidence. RFK Jr is banking on Americans still having that nostalgic feeling for Camelot and the Kennedy legacy to garner votes!

It’s hardly worth Trump’s time all things considered.

“nothing to be gained by debate with the C team. rfk should be after biden for a debate opportunity where they can decimate each other properly.”

I don't agree. Trump should debate RFK.

Trump's goal should be to build up RFK’s vote total by moving dem voters away from Biden.

In other words, split the liberal vote.

If necessary, Trump can attack RFK (Trump should know how to do that) hard enough to create a sympathy vote for RFK.

All Trump has to do is to not be so heavy-handed that he drives his voters to RFK.

You think Trump will put in the work to be able to do this? He couldn't even beat biden, and bides is brain damaged.

The establishment has thrown everything and the kitchen sink at Pres Trump but RFK is kryptonite!

It doesn’t even remotely pass the sniff test.

Trump is only reacting to Kennedy because polls now show that Kennedy is taking more votes from him than Biden.

Freeper LS says polls show the reverse, and he’s good at polls. It’s pretty obvious why that’s true.

Who is going to sit through a debate listening to someone suffering from Spasmodic Dysphonia? It’s supposed to be a rare condition, but Senator Susan Collins suffers from the same condition, and nobody wants to listen to her either.

Trump and RFK jr are having fun with this.

Trump's reply, of course, will be - we need a three way debate with Jo Jo attending.

The more strident RFK jr becomes in challenging Trump to debate, which the media will dutifully amplify, the more pressure there will be for Biden to show up which will highlight that Jo Jo can't debate anyone and is in hiding.

wouldn’t a debate server to drain votes from Trump but not biden as biden wouldn’t be on display?

wouldn’t this just prove Trump’s point?
