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

[samiam5211]

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.

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said his wife’s reaction to his recent endorsement of former President Trump in the White House race was the “opposite of encouraging.”

Kennedy stated during his Tuesday appearance on TMZ Live that his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, is not a Trump supporter, she was the “opposite of encouraging” of the move and that his support of the former president brought her some “discomfort.”

“She is a lifelong Democrat, and the idea of me supporting Donald Trump was, like I said — it was something she would have never imagined, something that she never wanted in her life,” he said Tuesday.

“I think it causes her a lot of discomfort, and I’m very grateful to her for giving me support, but she was not somebody who was clamoring for this move. I would say the opposite is true,” he added…….

He’s the Schrödinger's cat candidate.

RFK Jr is both a candidate and not a candidate who is both on the ballot and not.

He’s the Schrödinger's cat candidate.

I posted the same joke, but now I'm changing it to a "well played" congratulations.

I’m sorry - I didn’t see yours. My son teaches physics - he is the one who taught me about the dang cat, lol.

My wife taught physics! Physics and physics teachers rule!

Not a surprise. Democrats get upset when you remind them that they subverted democracy.



Excellent subject and RFK and Trump addressing this will get a lot of people supporting them.

This is will be a unifying subject.



Hell yeah! The CIA is getting worried.

Um, no, the CIA isn’t getting worried.

However, let’s get all the Epstein files released. Trump will implode.

As for RFK, Jr? If he wants healthy kids then maybe he should shut his piehole about vaccines.

Why do you hate America?

Not sure how you fall for this crap.
- Healthy foods for our children, great, all for it. Remember when Trump rolled back the healthy lunch initiatives that Obama had set up. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

- JFK files - Why didn’t he do it the first time, because there is absolutely nothing to see. If there was, he would have done it for being some kind of hero.


Please explain to me how Trump supports healthy food now because RFK Jr endorsed him.

 

[MT15]

Several things RFK Jr is going on about are directly opposite to Trump’s Admin actions during his presidency. But not to worry - RFK Jr is just a grifter also. He wouldn’t actually do anything were he given power - other than bring back polio and measles.

 

[zztop]

So far these are the states he was removed from: PA, GA, AZ, NV

Good question, but that's not something I would defend him on. The last 3 president's were supposed to release it based on the law that was passed.

Nothing to see? Do you believe the magic bullet theory?

Because Calley Means had been advising RFK for 2 years about health and food and RFK found out he had also been advising Trump. That's when RFK though it was an important enough issue to join Trump's campaign specifically because of that issue.

 

[MT15]

Calley Means is a Prager U idiot. Just another right wing nut job.

Because of Calley Means? He asked Kamala for a position for his endorsement too. RFK Jr is an opportunist and joined who ever would give him something in return. Kamala’s campaign refused to even talk to him.
Trump gives zero you know what’s about healthy eating. I showed you where he removed healthy guidelines for children’s school lunches for whatever reason. It had nothing to do with sugar intake. My son went to school during these changes. High fructose sugary drinks went out the door and a low fat milk options and natural juices were options. Also they added a salad/veggie bar so kids could pick healthy sides with their lunch.

More on what Michelle Obama has been up to recently.

It has 75% less sugar than other fruit juice drinks. Not sure what your problem is.

So you have no idea how bad added sugar is for kids? Are toy aware we have an obesity and chronic disease problem that no other country has?

Sugar content is relative. I’m not mathematician but if the drinks being consumed have less sugar than other options then they will be consuming less sugar. What do you think is in most juice drinks? High fructose corn syrup. This appears to be an alternative to juice with less sugar and calories. Mind you it is over priced and that is why lower incomes eat so poorly. Healthy food should be more accessible and affordable.

We could also talk about how Trump made it so that meat plants could inspect themselves as part of his rolling back “over-regulation” of industry. And now about a dozen people are dead from eating Boar’s Head meat that was contaminated with Listeria. The plant was dirty and full of violations, because they were responsible for their own inspections. Thanks, Trump.
