Not even a bit. Not sure why you guys keep dishing this shite.



Because it will happen. Many traditional Dems are tired of the far left shift of their party, but would not ever vote Rep.

Depends on how the ground rules are set but someone polling about x% (5? 10?) gets invited.

Last third party candidate that I remember being part of the debates was Ross Perot in 1992, as most subsequent ones didn’t have a third party pulling much.

All-In podcast episode 127. The guys (4 billionaires) do a two hour interview with RFK Jr. For me there were things to like and things not to like but the format of actually having deep discussions with a candidate was very good.

Sidenote: I can't stand to watch them. I prefer just listening while doing something else.

He’ll steal votes from both but it's not going to be anything that'll effect the ballot harvesting machine of the dnc. Hurts Trump more imo

Biden may claim to be Catholic. But he is no Catholic.

He has been denied communion numerous times because he is not a Catholic in good standing. Can’t support the murder of children and be Catholic.

Is Bill Maher the type of democrat you're talking about?

All these people need to be told is that Trump is evil and you have to vote against Trump and that means voting for biden. They'll swallow that cock down into their lungs and vote for biden.

Not me.

I will NEVER vote for a democrat for president, I don’t care how popular he or she may be at the time. They ALL fall in line at some point.

Yeah that National Review stuff is farcical and wishful BS spin. As usual. Trump don’t have to spend any time debating or politicking as the consequences of Dem corruption manifest more perniciously by the day and everybody knows where Trump stands on policy. And the MSM has basically given RFK zero publicity, and as a legit candidate that will no longer fly. Many Dems will like him, as with Trump, just the celebrity of the Name will play big.

Its not 1960. That means very little these days. Did you forget that Biden is catholic as well? Or Catholic in name only I should say
