Dear President Trump,

I’m grateful to you for calling attention to the rigged polling methodologies that biased DNC-influenced media have used against you. We have this concern too, and I’m happy to show you the deceptive methodologies used by DNC-allied pollsters who pretend that I’m in single digits. You have correctly characterized these as “fake polls.”

This is why we did our own poll with Zogby — the largest and most accurate poll of this election cycle. We had Zogby ask about head-to-head matchups. (1) You versus President Biden. (2) Me versus President Biden. (3) Me versus you. The results? You beat President Biden handily. I crush him as well, by even more. And against each other, I beat you in a nail-biter.

In a three-way, you are ahead but I’m coming up strong. Two new polls (CNN and Quinnipiac) have me above the 15% debate threshold. Another (Activote) has me at 26% among young voters. And you and I are tied among America’s 70 million Independents.

I’m also drawing a lot of voters from your former supporters. They are upset that you blew up the deficit, shut down their businesses during Covid, and filled your administration with swamp creatures.

So I’d like to make you an offer. We’re both going to be speaking at the upcoming Libertarian convention on May 24 and 25. It’s perfect neutral territory for you and me to have a debate where you can defend your record for your wavering supporters.

You yourself have said you’re not afraid to debate me as long as my poll numbers are decent. Well, they are. In fact, I’m the only presidential candidate in history who has polled ahead of both major party candidates in head-to-head races.

So let’s meet at the Libertarian convention and show the American public that at least two of the major candidates aren’t afraid to debate each other. I asked the convention organizers and they are game for us to use our time there to bring the American people the debate they deserve!

Sincerely,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

No way Trump agrees to that.

Me wonders why RFK, Jr. does not challenge Joey?

RFK killed any momentum he might have had with his terrible VP choice.



Doing this would hurt Trump more than it would help. It gives RFK a huge spotlight and gives him legitimacy.

Trump and Biden, if they are smart, will just ignore him, and absorb parts of his platform they like.

Says the man who would have blown up the deficit, shut down businesses during Covid, filled his administration with swamp creatures, and gone in dry on Second Amendment rights to top it off.

Piss up a rope, RFK2. You're certainly better than the modern progressive liberal Left, but that's a pretty low bar. You're still to the left of 1990s Bill Clinton.

RFK is about as libertarian as Trump is conservative... What a fricking joke our government is.

Debating Trump is like shooting fish in a barrel and he knows it. He won’t be debating anyone including Joe.

I used to watch their convention on Cspan every election. The crowd is about 200 people. 90% white males and 10% white females.

RFK Jr would massacre Trump in a debate. This will never happen.

I sort of agree with that.

If RFK was the sole democrat running he beats Trump, but loses to all three with biden running as the dem.

Why would Trump debate someone who in no way has a chance of winning? Trumps would gain nothing by doing this

Listening to RFK Jr. speak for two minutes is painful. Listening to him for one or more hours would be torturous. He would be a gnat on Trump's butt. He's also a flakey flaming lib, btw.
