Exactly. I'm not sure why he is getting so much attention. We already have two very weak candidates in the 2024 presidential race. For God's sake, we don't need a third!


Folks in the middle have realized that their voice only matters if they DON’T support one of the major parties. Let’s face it:

1. If the Dems don’t base policy on what their progressive members want, then the progressives won’t show up to vote; and

2. If the Rs don’t base policy on what the MAGA members want, then the MAGA won’t show up to vote.

But both parties are telling the middle that they’ll “throw their vote away” if they don’t show up to vote. And that’s just not true. Go through an election or two with the middle voting third party, and suddenly the Dems and Rs might re-evaluate their strategies of pandering to their fringe.



Yep. The only sane longterm strategy


The strategy for trump to win. Trump has you rfk voters right where he wants you.


Totally willing to let the chips fall where they may. Run better candidates.


Are you suggesting we could do better than Trump and Biden? Nooooo way... LOL

If that’s the lesson you learn, then you’re not appreciating that if the Dems run a candidate that appeals to the middle, you’ll lose the progressive vote. They’ll walk just like the middle is threatening. So make your bed.

That is the lesson everyone will learn if trump wins because that is the only way he can win. If Biden wins again that means a moderate white male can still protect us from trump like he was chosen to do the first time around.

Absolutely. Rfk jr. With his trump money eill try to take votes from Biden and Biden will try to get the message out that this is the rfk jr. agenda. Trump will just continue to be a jack ass as obviously, nothing else is possible.

Democrats are spending millions to keep RFK Jr. off the ballot. Why? That’s what Russia, China and Ukraine do: take out their opponents. Or cancel the election.

Republicans are spending millions to put rfk jr on the ballot. That's what campaigns do that cannot beat the opponents at the polls without spoilers to try to siphon off votes.

But why? Why would anyone be concerned about RFK Jr? He is just as unfit for the POTUS position as Trump and Biden are. He is no threat.

The concern is obviously about Trump's inability to attract votes. Why are trump billionaire supporters giving muti millions to rfk jr. In order to help their candidate, trump?

Are Dems or Republicans more likely to vote for him? Any data?


Everyday he gets closer and closer to Trump's rhetoric
I predict Trump will approach him about being his VP and RFK, jr., will accept. This way. Trump's little mind thinks that he gets his base and the Independent vote, as well as Kennedy faithful. No one has even heard Kennedy's VP choice so no loss there. The deafening rumble you will hear when this is announced will not be an earthquake but JFK, RFK, and Ted Kennedy turning over in their graves!

If this is this the case, it could easily backfire on the GOP. I doubt RFK Jr. will have as much influence on the race as some polls are indicating. He isn't any stronger of a candidate than Trump and Biden and definitely not the upgrade the swing voters are hoping for.

It's quite likely RFK will siphon votes from Trump. After all, RFK is an anti-vaxxer and doesn't believe Jan. 6 was an
insurrection.

The anti-vaxxer wackos and those that downplay the significance of Jan 6th will vote for Trump and they shouldn't be considered swing voters. RFK is a weak 3rd party candidate and his polling numbers won't last. He's only able to make this brief splash in the race due to the weakness of the major party candidates. Most swing voters will go go back "home" to Trump or Biden and RFK Jr. will pull 3% to 5% of the popular vote. Who that helps and hurts is anyone's guess.
