RFK's campaign (will run as independent/third-party) (1 Viewer)

It looks like he's going to be on the ticket in November. I think he should get his own thread. He's about to become well funded, and it's going to be a professionally run campaign no doubt. I don't think it's out of the question that he get's Perot like numbers, and even if he get's 1/4 of that it could be a disaster for the Biden campaign that is probably looking at a few thousand votes in a few states turning the election anyway.

There is going to be money behind this campaign from all sorts of angles. No matter what anyone thinks about RFK, it would be a terrible mistake to not take this campaign seriously. He might take some from Trump for sure, but he's going to take more of the anti Trump vote from Biden, and Biden can't really spare any votes. Not all people who were going to vote for Biden would disagree with the things RFK has said about vaccines, and he's not going to be spending his time campaigning on just vaccine skepticism.

There are many more people voting for Biden who aren't enthusiastic about Biden than there are on the other side.

Asuper PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has begun polling his support as an Independent, one of the strongest indications to date that the long-shot Democrat is set to announce a party affiliation switch.

The poll, conducted by the firm John Zogby Strategies and commissioned by the American Values 2024 PAC, comes amid growing speculation — fueled by Kennedy himself — that he will leave the Democratic Party in the upcoming weeks.

Oh, so the dog-eating might actually be true? I saw a picture on Threads of him, a woman at his side with her face partially censored, about to take a bite of a splayed, grilled, medium dog-sized animal but thought it was likely shopped or mislabeled.

Perhaps he should have picked Noem as his running mate?

I think it is true, but couldn’t swear to it. Supposedly somewhere in Asia, whoever looked at the picture of the animal said it was definitely canine per a veterinarian they had consulted.

lol, he won’t deny the sexual assault but by god he didn’t eat a dog. I guess the story was that he has spoken publicly about being intrigued by the custom of eating dogs in some parts of the world.

Evidently he just posed with it, pretending to eat it. Yeah, it was a goof, that makes it better.

Hey @VanityFair, you know when your veterinary experts call a goat a dog, and your forensic experts say a photo taken in Patagonia was taken in Korea, that you’ve joined the ranks of supermarket tabloids. Keep telling America that up is down if you want. I’ll keep talking about the fact that working families can’t afford houses or groceries because our last two presidents went on a $14 trillion debt joyride, paid for by hard-working Americans.

The DNC media’s garbage pail journalism may distract us from President Biden’s cognitive deficits but it does little to elevate the national debate or reduce the price of groceries.

So? I don’t care if it’s a goat or a dog, he has publicly said he would be interested in tasting dog flesh. Even that I don’t care so much about, except for the comic relief.

I am concerned about his naked misogyny and his culpability in his wife’s suicide. I am concerned about sexual assault that he just waves away. I’m concerned about his pushing crazy anti-vax conspiracies and culpability in measles deaths in other countries. He’s just as bad as Trump. A moral vacuum. His malignant narcissism. Inability to see others as anything but a means to an end for his own benefit.

I know none of that concerns you, because you support Trump. But realistically, he’s taking votes away from Trump, not Biden, so I don’t much care about him, except for comedic effect.

 

[MT15]

He doesn’t care if he appears in all states because all he wants is for Trump to win, since it seems likely he’s been promised a Cabinet position if Trump wins.

 

[MT15]

He should just join the GOP and run for Senate or something. They won’t care what he’s done.

It would be wild and glorious poetic justice.
