No good comes from obfuscation of the truth. The American people need to see the results of our political process, the lack of choice of viable candidates and then there can be accountability and change. |

Really, really dumb to fire that staffer. They don't have a paycheck and are now willing to burn the campaign down. Morons. |

Interesting that you think that about Biden when Trump is the one who skipped all of the GOP primary debates and the RNC is the party which pulled out of the commission that sponsors the general election debates. https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/14/politics/rnc-withdraws-from-presidential-debates/index.html |

Nicole--RFK's "running mate" just gave him $2 mn. He only raised $5mn including the money from Nicole. Meanwhile his campaign owes $1.6 mn to "security consultant" Gavin de Becker--the same guy who does security for Jeff Bezos. Not so good with a budget, this RFK Jr. |

| Hard to predict what a bunch of conspiracy loving antivaxxers will do at the polls. But if the Republican donors want to play with fire and fund RFK Jr to hurt Biden, they may well get burned. |

Considering that RFK Jr’s run was entirely architected by the right wing, I think it’s only fair that they burn themselves. |

| Current polling is that RFK is taking more from Trump than Biden. |

This makes sense. RFK's appeal to democrats is 1) name recognition/association with the Kennedy family and 2) environmental activism. #1 quickly goes away once you learn anything about him and not many dems voting on the environment are likely to put up with the rest of him/ think he's better than Biden. His appeal to the MAGA crowd is 1) anti vax, 2) anti-authority/establishment, and 3) general conspiracy loving. These things will just attract MAGAs more as they get to know him. |
