Yep, every time RFK makes an audible noise he loses credibility with the non-insane component of the electorate and ingratiates himself to the average trump voter.

"No one knows you're stupid until you say something."

A vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for Trump. Period.

I agree with the "weirdo factor" theory. He appeals to conspiracy theorists, and that isn't what Biden's base is about.

Yep, I think Bob K will be good a peeling the anti-vaxxers tinhats away from Trump, since they aligned with him during the pandemic. His efforts to take credit for the vaccine have not played well with his base, so he can easily lose them to someone who is echoing their sentiments.

RFK is wasting his time and money! It's time for the new generations of Kennedys.

While you're right about time, it sounds like Kennedy is wasting more of other people's money. He is a disgrace. (BTW, while I share a family name, I am not related to RFK, Jr.)

I have to object to the name Jr. has chosen for his newly formed independent party - We The People Party. I hope no one out there gets it confused with proposed constitutional amendment The We The People Act. I’m sure the authors and co-sponsors in Congress (all Democrats) are not thrilled by Jr’s choice.

I just have one thing to say - Ranked Choice Voting.

I prefer to believe, that RFK has revealed himself to those of us who have been following him for a long time as a member of a very large political family, whose lifestyle, behavior and thinking is not acceptable to his own family. Think about that for a minute. Yes, TFG would love to play him to his own advantage, and God knows there is no shortage of weirdos who will follow anybody other than President Biden. The water has been so poisoned with the non-stop concerns about Biden's age that his successes go ignored. When we allow this to happen, we are our own worst enemy. In pure political terms, RFK is crackers & he picked his VP to fund the rest of his campaign. It's a little insulting but let's face it, she is another anti-vax zealot with deep pockets. Come on. I just listened to Eddie Glaude screaming at the top of his voice and the victory we need is ours to claim. The cavalry is not coming to save us - it's on us, kids. Snap out of it!

Respectfully Pam:

You don’t realize that for the last 8 years ( behind the scenes), Military Tribunals are and have been ongoing. This is being done by the US WhiteHats ( The Good Military ) & The Global Military Alliance.

Biden successes? He is being played by 3 actors and went to GITMO.

You all made the ASSUMPTION That President Trump is Orange Man, Bad, etc etc.

President Trump was asked to run for President by the WhiteHats to help take down the corruption.

There are over 475,000 sealed indictments and counting. An indictment can have over 100 people.

7 million people ( children & adults ) have been rescued from human traffickers. ( Many were in the D.U.M.B.S).

Trump’s vaccine had in it Zinc, Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine & Doxycycline. It was not mandated. 23 times he told us that other things could be taken for Covid. He mentioned the above.

Only Biden/Deep States Vaccine had the MRNA & was mandated. Their plan was to kill 7 billion people.

Trump used Tesla Technology to disassemble the 5G Towers. He federalized the National Guards. Asked the Retired Military to come back.

The USA had been under Continuity of Government.

No man or woman is perfect. Trump is fulfilling his duties as President. It’s sad that so many people don’t see that nor do any research.

Everything I am saying is the truth.

I can’t vote in America. I love politics and doing worldwide research.

God Bless You.

Hi:

First of all, I am a girl.

Are you always this rude?

Here is some proof:

Man oh man. ;) 😂😂. You first. You’re either a troll or seriously deluded. At any rate, blocking you will clean up my online world. I already reported your insane comment.

Hmmm... You are aware that Trump is not currently President? That on the world stage he is seen as one of the most useless leaders that the USA has ever presented? And that your basic understanding of idiomatic language is severely lacking? No one was calling you male. Definitely worth a second laugh. You are a treasure! No wonder you are so easily bamboozled by the conspiracy theories of lunatics. I would recommend speaking to people outside your little echo chamber, it would likely improve your attitude and intelligence.

Hmm:

All those lines of putting people down and insults.

WOW - Elizabeth. Shame on you.

Why so rude?

Did you read the proof that I posted above with the link? Of course not.

You have so much hatred in your heart for someone that you never even met.

Have you ever read any Executive Orders? Oh, you do not know anything about them? Have you read the Law of War Manual? Oh- What’s that ! Do you know anything about the Military? Oh - What Military?

Do you know what GITMO is? What is a Doomsday Plane? What is a P-3 Orion? What is it used for?

What is a C17? What is a KC-135R Strato Tanker?

Finally, what is a CPA, CMA?

Elizabeth, I am so much smarter and kinder than you will ever be . I would recommend that you get some intelligence and manners.

I don’t want to chat with you ever again

Come back at me and you are blocked.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, please, ban away, your response just proves my point. Take care, and live happy.

OK, I read it. You call that proof? You obviously have zero understanding of standards of proof. That is a fever-dream. ANYONE may write such a thing - that does not make it true. I can write that you are obviously a highly-educated and perceptive person; equally I may write that you are obviously batshit crazy and an obvious plant. Doesn't make either of them true. Get better sources. And seriously - doubting the intellect, education, and accomplishments of commenters on this substack is a fool's errand.

I think you responded to a comment I made that I could argue that Jr. could be more of a problem for TFG than for Biden. Jr.'s big ideas are around vaccines and few people buy his unsubstantiated claims. It is not clear why he is running other than it can be an ego trip for egomaniacs. Running so poorly in the polls at some point its good money after bad. His VP's views fit TFG's not Biden's.

I would believe that the x45 team would support RFK Jr. There are so many independents out there who are wholly for RJK Jr just because of the name.! The independents are the ones who turned the tide when Hillary was up against x45 and see how that turned out.

It is really unfortunate that somebody whose family name has been associated with nothing but patriotism in America would do something like this in the fact that he's getting money funded to his campaign by Trump's Rich friends is another example why we need President Biden

Expand full comment

Ah, his Grandpa was kinda problematic - he was an admirer of Hitler, and would likely get along with Trump just fine. He did, however, demand that his children get the finest possible education, and be prepared to defend their views against any attack at the dinner table; his saving grace was that in spite of all, he was a patriot.

Junior, OTOH, has lost his tiny mind.

I worked for RFK in 1968 and I know Junior's father is ashamed of him.

The Kennedy Family released a letter saying

how wrong he is!

I always figured the 5 million more votes Trump got in 2016 over 2012 was due to the Libertarian/Far Right electorate lining up behind him. It didn't do enough to help him last time and I'm suspecting his support is even weaker now than his first run. Encouraging this third party run is going to come back to bite him more than Biden I believe.

Expand full comment

Maybe so - I continue to believe, and beg other people to believe that a vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for Trump. Keep eyes on the prize, y'all. We need every possible vote we can scrape up for every Blue candidate on every ballot - because those other guys?

There are no good ones.

Not one.

While this tactic is legal, it is highly unethical in my opinion. BUT do not for a second believe that this is something that only MAGA Republicans use. JB Pritzker used it in Illinois to defeat a moderate Black Republican, who would have given him a good run for his money in the 2022 Governor's race. But, "Democrats actively worked to help Bailey succeed in the primary, with Pritzker and allies collectively spending tens of millions of dollars to both attack one of the other GOP candidates, and to help introduce Bailey to voters as a conservative affiliated with Trump – a characterization that polls show is enticing to Republican primary voters." (https://news.wttw.com/2022/06/30/one-one-gov-jb-pritzker-incumbent-shifts-focus-general-election) .

Anyone who did not condemn Pritzker but now condemns Trump should be ashamed.
