RFK Jr. has the White House sweating, and rightly so
The New York Post ^ | 06/06/2023 | Editorial Board

Posted on 06/07/2023 8:59:42 AM PDT by thegagline

over Narcan and crackpipe vending machines: White flag of surrender to addiction Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has the White House worried, and rightly so: Boys who shout “The emperor has no clothes” have an impact.

So far, the Bidenites are relying on their media allies to maul RFK Jr., Politico reports.

Problem is, the reason the challenger’s running at 20% in primary polls has less to do with his last name (even Marianne Williamson’s at 8%) than with President Biden’s incredible weakness.

Biden’s record is beyond atrocious, and at 80, he’s showing signs of serious decline. Voters — most definitely including Democrats — know it.

So even someone as flaky as RFK Jr. starts to look appealing.

Per the latest CNN-SRSS survey, the prez gets only 60% support from Dems, a stunningly poor showing for a sitting president.

And 42% of those say they might ultimately go with someone else. Add to RFK’s 20% support those who say they’d consider backing him, and he soars to 64%.

Again, this is for a candidate full of kooky views: a longtime vaccine hysteric who suggests Big Pharma’s behind the rise in US mass shootings and urges looking at the Ukraine war from Russia’s point of view.

Then again, Pat Buchanan carried his own far-out baggage when he ran against President George H.W. Bush in the 1992 GOP primary — exposing that incumbent’s weaknesses even as he lost, and presaging Bush’s loss in November to Bill Clinton.

Sure, Biden’s allies may take down RFK by harping on his oddest views, but that won’t stop the challenger from flagging Joe’s disasters.

And plenty of Democrats will flock to a guy who vows to seal the border, whatever else he says.

Between the possible disruptions from a Kennedy win or a Trump win, I expect the “rough and tumble” of Democrat and RINO politics to explode. Corruption defends corruption. My bride, less restrained in some ways than am I, said she wouldn't be surprised at an assassination attempt. I pray not.

They are not sweating. They control elections, not the people.

Unlike Republicans, the Democrats have Super Delegates to ensure only approved candidates make it to the finish line.

There seems to be something really odd about his voice

He has spasmodic dysphonia.

“ Again, this is for a candidate full of kooky views: a longtime vaccine hysteric who suggests Big Pharma’s behind the rise in US mass shootings and urges looking at the Ukraine war from Russia’s point of view.‘

Only a Rupert Murdoch/Deep State organ would consider those viewpoints “kooky”.

RFK Jr. has better views than several of the GOP establishment types running with their evil views. I wish the NY Post would replace “kooky” and “flaky” with “different” or better yet “refreshing”. RFK Jr. may be wrong on some of the vaccines, but he has every right to question them and not bow down and accept the money of big pharma.

At this point I am leaning toward voting for him in the Democratic primary. At a minimum, if the establishment has to roll out the cheat machine in the Democratic primary, some upset Democrats may spill the beans on the cheat.

Terrible voice, unfortunately - wonder if he has had vocal cord problems.

Most people can’t understand him when he talks.

But they understand Slow Joe?

I love how the article thinks he is kooky over vaccines. He vaccinated most of his kids with most of the vaccines. And there are too many too primitive vaccines given too soon in life and too mixed with other vaccines and multi dose vaccines that leave babies at the bottom of the vial getting many times an acceptable amount of heavy metal into their bloodstream. Childhood vaccines as they are given is child abuse today. Newest science just these past months connects vaccines with the epidemic amounts of autism in the vaccinated population. By finally studying the few populations who don’t. Like Amish.

I agree and I’ve started watching interviews with him. He’s well thought out, not a screaming lefty and frankly someone I could actually vote for. His only weakness is the climate crap but he’s not talking about it these days so maybe he woke up a bit. There’s a two-part interview Meghyn Kelly had with him on YouTube that’s very intriguing.

The Easter Bunny has been running the Brandon thing since day one. Kennedy is going to smoke him, and Commiela.

Not kooky at all. That’s a fact.

What it shows is any high ranking rat could take out Traitor Joe. Biden is the perfect fall guy. He can use EO’s to shove through all the crap the rats have been dreaming of and he takes the arrows.

“a longtime vaccine hysteric”

Translation from Big Pharma Mass Media speak:

“told the truth about the dangers of vaccines from day one”

RFKJR is 80% MAGA

30% at best. But that's 100% more than any other demoncrap. I won't vote for him, but he is the least offensive rat around presently.

The Bidenskyyy’s are coming for our gas furnaces now. LOSING YOUR FREEDOMS ONE AT A TIME. Now I understand what Latrine Jean-Pierre means when she says The Demented One has accomplished so much in his two years. She’s a Frenchy, she should know. Hitler never accomplished much as much as Bidenskkyyyy has.
