Are we just making up fantasies now?

Kennedy would be lucky to receive 2% of the nationwide vote.





You know, some of us were actually old enough to vote in 1992.

I actually predicted this. They pissed him off one time too many.

He's at 16% of the Democratic vote in the current Real Clear Politics average of all polls, and actually had 25% on a recent poll.

Clear advantage Trump, one would think.

Some genius GOPer will probably negate our advantage and run independently from the right : /

Was your vote going to the Dem prior to RFKjr’s announcement?

These are the same people who voted for an actual vegetable in Pennsylvania. They'll line up and vote Biden like the good sheep they are. They're probably one more election cycle away from permanent rule in this country and they aren't going to mess that up.

Any Republican who were to vote for him was never going to vote for Trump anyway, so end of the day no net loss to Trump. He’s aware of the numbers in terms of Republicans who are ok with the Democrat winning rather than vote for him. He’s aware of that insanity. It’s been factored in, and it’s still a go for the Trump victory.

You may be right. I don’t see the Dem cult ever not vote for the Demon candidate.

Perhaps the more reasonable way to approach this is to ask who you don’t believe are cultists. Other than yourself of course. Obviously. But what slender segment of society is not a bunch of no good, low down, cultists? This I ask of you in a serious manner, my friend.

If you disagree that the Dem party is a cult then that’s your right.

Well, I can’t help but push back just a little on your apparent premise that Democrats and Trump supporters are of such a similar nature and disposition. I think it would be weird not to question the assertion.

I never said all trump supporters are cultists.

There is a narrow band of them that do seem to fit that definition. No big deal if you disagree.

This absolutely monumental news is getting virtually no play in the media. They scared. Game over.

RFK is not nearly as popular amongst the left as Perot was on the right.

Maybe all Trump needs is to shave off the tiniest fraction from Biden, but that's all he's gonna get from RFK.

This was v Biden for the Dem nomination, not as an independent.
