I do believe it because...
1. RFK, Jr., is known to GOP-leaning voters through his frequent, cordial appearances on Fox News, Tucker Carlson, etc.
2. RFK’s anti-vax, anti-Fauci views dovetail with the views of many on the right.
3. Our voters are more independent-minded and anti-establishment than the other side. An iconoclast like RFK is going to appeal to some of them.
4. Their voters are mainly brainwashed idiots who dutifully vote for the “D” hell or high water. Hell, if they’ll vote for Fetterman, they’ll vote for anyone or anything.

he is not going to pull from republicans who are a minority group

He is going to pull from the independents and others who might have voted republican for Trump but now have in their eyes a more palatable candidate

Big lose for conservatives here.

'And what could RFK Jr offer to Republicans that Trump can’t?'

I agree. I can't see Trump supporters switching to RFK, Jr. (Maybe 'never Trumpers' would vote for Kenneday; but they aren't voting for Trump anyway.)

Exactly, they feel better voting for rfk over biden. It's a net loss to Biden, or whomever replaces him.

That’s why he’s there. He is trying to create the appearance of vote splitting among the GOP. And the GOP has been falling for this for generations and there is a long list of liberal leaning candidates that are running to displace Trump. And the GOP keeps falling for it like the idiots they are. But they are no worse, really, than the voters that buy into it.

Well, he would be the only anti-vax candidate in the race.

Believe it! There are at least 125 moderate republicans in the House that would vote for Kennedy over Trump, that’s how ignorant they are.

Even if 10% of the people that voted for their moderate republican vote for Kennedy out of pure stupidity the party is over.

If that happens then the republican party is dead and a new party needs to take it’s place.

The ones that get 70% of their ad money from Big Pharma ? It is really hard to imagine all the Dems that didn’t want Biden to run in the first place, which is like 2/3 of the party would vote for him. Kennedy I like a lot but he is walking a very thin line. You can see the needle being threaded so many ways.

RFK appeals strongly to vaccine conspiracy nuts across the political spectrum and he will likely get their vote.

It’s hard to gauge their actual number since like all obsessives on a mission they make more noise than their numbers warrant.

Honest election votes or fraudulent votes.

A lot of us who support Trump think he was doing the best he could with the pandemic. He isn’t any kind of virologist or other scientific expert, and in the beginning there was a lot of suspicion about Covid and well-founded fear - nobody really knew what it was or where it came from, and if anyone did, they didn’t talk about it.

At least Trump has always called it what it is: The China Virus - instead of pushing the notion that it came naturally from a bat in a very faraway cave, or other such nonsense. And put together with everything else Trump accomplished, it’s a small part of my assessment.

Maga people do not make up the whole republican party. There are those who choose to go picky and don’t like this or that about Trump.. Not smart enough to know the picky does not compare to saving our country!

I had figured those picky people might jump ship to Kennedy.

I call them young.. Don’t have wisdom.. Think off top of hat.. And ignorant to what is going on.

Anyone, ever voting for a Kennedy (unless he’s from Louisiana) ought to have his voting rights suspended. No matter what they say, no matter how reasonable any of it sounds, irrespective of their position on any of it, they are part of the Kennedy clan and owe their first loyalty to that destructive clan.

No but he can steal enough votes from the middle-of-the-road people like Perot did to make the difference.

Hmm. That’s an interesting take. And I don’t see anything wrong with it.

“Not buying it. Anytime you hear the name Kennedy you associate it with Democrat. People voting for Kennedy were not going to vote for Trump in the first place.”

Only people who will vote for Kennedy are the clean water people and senior citizens who know the name Kennedy and will vote for the name.
