Exactly so. RFKjr will draw everything from BernieBros to Julias (unwed mothers who think the old man is hot) to the medicare age group who still remember Camelot. He's gotta get the right VP, though.

‘...and he supposedly took twice as many votes from Trump as from Biden.”
Not surprised. Liberals vote liberal because they can’t think for themselves. All Kennedy is going to do is split the conservative vote. The liberals have been not only placing liberal candidates into the GOP for years, but even have a large amount of liberal voters register as conservatives so they can effect the conservative primaries. In other words, they are misrepresenting themselves because when it comes down to the general election, they can vote as they please. And in the case of some states like California it is possible for no conservative candidates to even be on the general ballot.

RFK Jr is a flash in the pan now fizzling out.
Trump / AnyoneNotInTheGOPDebatesEspeciallyPence 2024.
Carter had a bad economy. Remember malaise?
I know the common wisdom is RFK hurts Ds more than Trump’s... but color me skeptical.
RFK’s messaging is nearly identical to Trumps.. he uses different terms, but he’s making the same general argument. The system is rigged and not working for you.
In a head to head race, I believe RFK would handily beat Trump for the white house.
As a third party candidate, I am not so sure he’ll harm the D’s more than he harms Trump overall.
Easy way to tell, is once he announces he’s running as an independent, and that dies down a bit, watch if the MSM is covering him in any major way. If they are then they have data showing he harms Trump more than the D’s.. if they go back to the mode they currently are in regarding him, which is ignore that he is running and basically a media blackout, then you know they have data showing him running harms Biden/Dems more.
That’s how you know who he’s realling taking votes away from... how the MSM handles him
“If RFK Jr. Runs As Independent, Biden Is Cooked.”
No he is not. They will just invent 300% more democrat voters than there really is.
I hope so!
Carter’s economy was not as bad as Biden’s is currently
If you follow regime media (as I do, and you should), you would know Biden has been cooked since Christmas.
He’s already “cooked.”
Prove it. For one thing inflation was much worse. It topped 20% in mid-1980.
Not really
Team blue views RFKjr very unfavorably. It is more likely he will pull moderates and give the election to Biden
Yes, and that was when we had real numbers.
Starting in 1999, the changes to a “basket of goods” to manipulate the real inflation rate down. The reason the US Government did this was simple. By law the Soc Security annual cola is set to the inflation rate. If they actually measure honestly, the US governments would basically be paying everything just to fund the COLA increases year after year.
For example, Grocery and energy prices are currently anywhere from 50-100% higher then it was in 2019.So the “official numbers” the US Governments puts out for the inflation rate are utter nonsense compared to what people are paying in their day to day lives for necessities
We don’t have the pain of 20% inflation, but it’s bad. But the current inflation, the Fed was stupid for 20 years. You can’t keep interest rates that low that long, and not expect inflation. It’s amazing it took this long.
Carter’s economy was at least at bad and he was at least a likable guy.
Truman could have run again in 1952 (the 22nd amendment did not apply to him) but he was very unpopular because of the stalemate in the Korean War and didn’t run. Wilson would have run for a third term in 1920 but the party wouldn’t hear of it (this was after his stroke). To be sure that’s more than 100 years ago.
Hunter’s the obvious choice. He has the magic of the Biden name, and doesn’t suffer from dementia.
Yeah, just like we saw that red wave in the mid-terms.
The RFK Jr. candidacy will simply camouflage the Dem cheating, as it will be a convenient repository for the required number of votes to be removed from Trump to give them the win, while lessening the number of votes they need to manufacture for their own candidate.
Their is no way Wilson could have run in 1920, given his health. He was bedridden, and not completely there mentally, and it came out in early 1920. It would basically been Edith running.
The one you left out is Calvin Coolidge. He could have easily won in 1928, but he spent ten years in D.C. and was sick of it. I don't think any president of the media era would give up power that easily, except maybe Reagan.
ROFL! This assumes the election isn’t rigged and is it. Obama didn’t win and Biden didn’t win.
Exactly so. RFKjr will draw everything from BernieBros to Julias (unwed mothers who think the old man is hot) to the medicare age group who still remember Camelot. He's gotta get the right VP, though.
