Say what you will, but the Republican primary is a foregone conclusion and I'm not interested in the Ron v Don debates (I vote orange man in a 1:1 against anyone, R or D). The more interesting election is the Democratic primary.

If for no other reason Kennedy has my support for his anti vax stance. He also seems to acknowledge and lament the bureaucratic state as much as any liberty minded fellow I've come across, so he has my attention at a minimum.

At this point I think it's more of a shot across the bow to the establishment to vote against the incumbent installed executive than his opposition, so that's exactly what I aim to do.

I'm sure they'll be dozens of folks to tell me this is a horrible idea for one reason or another, but I don't give a shite.

It's my vote so you can kiss my arse.

You’re not paying attention.

Years of practice, I suppose.

If you're in a state where Trump is inevitable on the GOP side, it makes things interesting.

Kennedy isn't anti-vax. He is just bringing awareness that there are inherent risks to taking a vaccine just like any other medication.

Kennedy is a dimocrat I’ll never vote for a dimocrat I just won’t vote if the Republican nominee is that bad. One thing about dimocrats is they stay together so idc what shite spews out of his mouth Kennedy is still a dimocrat

It won't matter. A lot of dems don't know who he is and he won't get a platform to show it.

So you rather help the Dims win if you don't like the Republican candidate.

Your for sure wasting your vote when you vote on Kennedy. There is no way the deep state will allow him to beat Biden .

No. What he’s saying is that he’ll ignore the Republicans, because Trump is inevitably the nominee, and he will vote for Kennedy in the primary before voting for Trump in the general election.

You're getting DVs and I suspect it's from people who don't know that RFK's solutions to government made problems is more government.

ETA: I think he could be of some good to reform the EPA, FDA, or another dept or group of depts, but I don't see him resisting any spending bill a Dem congress would put in front of him.

Kennedy is a Democrat. They are all evil. He might be less evil than some but evil nonetheless.

And yet, he also wants to take everyone's guns. And he's a climate lunatic.

Don't let his one or two right-leaning stances cloud your judgement.

I would feel much better about the process with a Kennedy vs. Trump general election.

Besides, if the DS needs a Biden type, they will have to cheat and steal in their Deomcrat primary which could expose some tricks we have yet to learn.

Yep, I live in Tennessee. Trump will win the TN primary, no doubt. In a Tennessee primary, you must select either a democrat or republican slate from which to vote. The dems despise Kennedy, imagine the melt if he were to win his primary. I think your idea is brilliant, and I just may have to follow your lead on this one.
