“Trump is going to have to come out and say “I was wrong” on the Covid vax and lockdowns.”

I wish he would. He has to find the right language. The perfect language.

Trump is speaking at the LP’s National convention where they usually pick a candidate for president.

I dont think a former president or GOP nominee has ever addressed their conference in 50 years so it’s a 1st and interesting .

They will be looking at him to address some of their concerns...

I’ve been basically saying the same thing since RFK showed up.

The raw and immediate nastiness out of the Democrat machine when RFK started to get some attention and traction was just a precursor of what is to come.

The Democrat establishment is going to go after RFK nastier than anything, you are already starting to see little hints of it now and again, now that three way polling is starting to show up in earnest, but they are still conning themselves into believing that RFK will be a bigger net negative to Trump than Biden... as it becomes more and more evident that that is NOT the case the absolute ruthless attacks on RFK will become staggering.

They thought that suppression would deal with him, and once they pushed him out of the party, the attention he was getting in the press did indeed die down for a bit, however, that appears to be ending with him returning to more regular rotation in the “news”. They don’t mind him being a 3rd party candidate, they know a 3rd party candidate can’t win, and as long as he’s hurting Trump more than Biden, and that was their initial belief, and one they have been repeating for months.

However, now that the primaries are effectively over, and focus is on the fall race, polls are showing that’s not really whats going on. None of the polls have been enough to cause the full on panic yet, but they are consistently showing that with RFK in the race, Trump is still winning by the same margins or better than he was without him in the polling. When you see a majority of those polls showing Biden doing consistently far worse when RFK is in the race, you are going to see the nastiest of the nasty released against RFK and it won’t be coming from the right.

He was out on Truth Social just the other day bragging about being so much faster than Biden would have been.

“Trump is going to have to come out and say “I was wrong” on the Covid vax and lockdowns.”

He left that decision to the state governors to decide whether or not to lock down.

He is so naive sometimes and especially on this topic.

Prob. wont mention it at the Libertarian conference then although it will be a concern.

Biden is the one who had RFK JR cut off. Trump is just being his usual competitive self.

I considered “Libertarian Party”, but that didn’t seem to fit with, “I wonder what he will say at the LP”. Is he going to speak at the Libertarian Party ... something? Is there an event where he’s going to speak / debate? I would be interested in watching that if something is scheduled.

He isn’t for nationalized health care (at least not now) and I don’t know what you mean with the others.

It is interesting that Kennedy turned down the chance to run on the LP ticket. It seems likely he was interested in smaller parties that wouldn’t be familiar to the public in a way that would prejudice them one way or the other.

Hi
Thanks for that.

as for his choice of Veep, this quote:
“...and my Chinese-born mom had only been in the United States for two years when I was born...”
so it appears that we have another ineligible Veep candidate following up on Biden’s Veep selection

Yes he’s going there in DC I believe.

Some might think “just another speech” but it’s never happened before for a GOP Nominee to do this so I consider it somewhat significant.

I’ll watch :) They will be respectful no doubt.

“RFK says lots of good things regarding the deep-state, censorship, Fed.gov abuse of power, never-ending wars, bloated debt”


Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in an interview that he wishes there were a law to “punish” people who are skeptical of or deny global warming.

“but he’s still a leftist - conservatives ignore his position on abortion, nationalized health-care, welfare, race politics.”

” ... only this time, the majority of this vote will be coming from previous Biden supporters.

Trump is wise to do what he can to minimize RFK’s appeal, ... “

? If most come from Biden why should Trump minimize him?

lol… Pfizer is mad at rfk jr. Trump has been bragging about operation warp speed since Iowa
RFKjr would like to decrease troops around the world
So it appears to be a race between big pharma trump and nutty greenocide RFKjr.
Either are pro life and both are pro homo/groomer.
