"Douglas MacKinnon, a political and communications consultant, was a writer in the White House for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and former special assistant for policy and communications at the Pentagon during the last three years of the Bush administration."
IOW, a pure blue blooded "Never Trump" Bushie RINO who's doing his best to promote a leftist ticket to screw Trump.
That being said, it's Clear that RFK, JR is aiming his campaign at Biden and not Trump FTA:
"Kennedy recently addressed this challenge in a post on X: “The will of the people is being thwarted by corruption and cronyism from Secretary Mayorkas, the Biden administration, and the politicization of our federal agencies. They want me out of this race by any means necessary and are refusing me Secret Service protection in a calculated effort to drain my campaign funds, exclude me from the ballot, and stop the movement that we’ve been building.”
The article, in the above quote, links to the Kennedy article in X, where there is a remarkable string of comments that generally support Kennedy and slam Biden. Looks like the Kennedy candidacy is going to be a real threat to Biden.
I like RFK jr well enough but his vp is a nobody (even if she’s rich). A game charger would be if he got Taylor Swift.
Kennedy will take more votes from Biden rather than Trump. The only thing to worry about is if Kennedy gets enough of the vote preventing Trump from getting enough electoral votes and the election gets thrown into the House.
Anybody who starts with a shoutout to the Indians about “stolen land” isn’t entering “stage middle.”
And no, the guy who sounds like a bad imitation of Katharine Hepburn isn’t any kind of a “game changer.”
We’re aligning for a repeat of the election of 1860.
My guess is that Trump will select a woman too.
It’s a bomb tossed on the Biden campaign and basically negates the possibility the Trump will lose significant percentages to RFK.
I think this guy overstates this by leaps and bounds, but it is definitely clear that with this pick, There is no doubt Kennedy is going to pull more from Biden than Trump.
The Democrats are absolutely in a panic today, and its pretty clear to see why.
At this point they need to keep Kennedy off the debate stage, he’s polling nationally in some polls as high as 12%.. if he gets to 15% he makes the debate stage, and if he makes the debate stage, then Biden will be lucky if he gets 30% in the general, which will cost Democrats HUGE down ballot.
IF Kennedy does make it onto the debate stage, you can forget the white house, which was a long shot at best for the walking potato anyway, but democrats will end be facing decimation downballot.
The “straight party” ticket won’t happen, and that means a lot of folks who would have showed up and just done that for Biden... will show up to vote for RFK, so they will have to actually go down the ballot and actually individually check for each race, and I guarantee you, that will cost the dems a few points down ballot easily and they know it.
More of the It may be bad for Biden and Trump but it’s really bad for Trump bullcrap. Which means that the left is really scared and knows better
This progressive left wing nut job will underscore that Kennedy is, was and always will be a liberal Democrat. He is the alternative to Biden for Democrats who are concerned about Biden’s cognitive condition. Few Republicans, except the worst of the Never Trumpers, who won’t be voting for Trump anyway, will fall for the Kennedy as an independent nonsense. This apple has not fallrn far from the Ted Kennedy tree,
” approximately 70 percent of voters indicate they do not want Biden or Trump as their next president.”
70 % of voters asked were Hillary Staffers or NeverTrumpers.
So, no surprises there.
She bought her way on to the ticket...
He was never a serious candidate.
Trump needs to empathize oil and guns. Things that divide Kennedy from the right and unites him with the left.
She’s simply not “Presidential Timber” to use Trump’s quote of the caliber of person that should be chosen for VP. Neither is Harris, of course. Trump needs to deliver a standout choice, and not a token, to separate himself in this regard.
Biden fears Kennedy more than he feared Bernie Sanders. But he had no problem deleting Sanders. Will he remove Kennedy as easily??
“former wife of Google cofounder Sergey Brin”
so she’s very deep state connected
approximately 70 percent of voters indicate they do not want Biden or Trump as their next president.
This is a made-up statistic. Just Trump supporters alone make up more than 30% of the electorate.
Enter — stage middle — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Middle? Rather, far left.
I read this move by Kennedy as an attack on Biden’s base.
I don’t think Kennedy has any real shot at any electoral votes. I think he wants to get out in front of the Democrat defection crowd.
The national Democrats are bad dudes and a lot of people can see it. They may not be ready to vote Republican but they can see that the national Democrat culture is crazy and unsupportable.
Progressives are shying away from Democrats and want a place to go.
Kennedy is making a move to get them to go for his ticket.
I think it is shrewd for him, a nightmare for Biden, and good for Trump.
How many self righteous libertarians will not vote Trump? My guess just enough to sway the election.
