A non-vote is a ballot filled out for Kamala. RFK should push that you don't have to vote for president, but at least get to the polls and vote for something. Use your ballot, because if you don't, it's going to get used and you have no say who for.

1-2% which is huge in swing states.


156 million voted in the 2020 election. If we get that turnout 1-2% translates into 1.56 to 3.12 million extra votes for Trump.

That blank check is assured anyway. Get used to it. Target the real opposition unless you are a dem.

BTW, Ukraine is holding ground in Russia and sending Moscow drones. Little ole Ukraine

I’ve seen posts saying I’m voting kamala now and others say they aren’t voting now.

So I really don’t know.

Net advantage of 0.5-1% in the swing states which is enough to potentially swing a few his way.

Probably not much

His supporters specifically don’t want Trump or Kamala

RFK Jr. dropping out and endorsing Trump gives 0.5 to 1% advantage to Trump.

Probably about right, but that’s huge in a race like this.

RFK has been dropping since Kamala got in the race. A lot of people who normally vote dem, but couldn’t support Biden have already flipped to Kamala. There is a chance in states where RFK is still close to 5% maybe trump gets 1.5% advantage.

after Kamala entered the race anyone left in the Kennedy camp were those hesitant Trump voters. The Bidens-Too-Old crowd immediately shifted back to Kamala. Kennedy's share is largely could vote for Trump types or won't show up at all..

What percentage goes to Trump? 35

What percentage decides to not vote? 50

What percentage goes back to the Democrats? 15

Having Kennedy’s endorsement is the only, sole endorsement in this whole election that would move the needle.

It really is the only meaningful one someone could get. A former rino coming out for kamala is meaningless (Paul Ryan Liz Cheney). Enough support moves to Trump that it improves his chances of winning. the majority of the 4-5% of the votes he’s getting currently would go to Trump when he gets his endorsement and gets a position meaning it is a net positive.

I think the fact that Musk a moderate dem and RFK Jr the son of a dem Icon
would support Trump should cause undecided people to give him a closer look.

Kennedy isn't the only independent on the ticket. There's two others (that I know of).
One is an absolute libtard campaigning as the 1st millennial running for pres. The other I haven't checked into.
Dunno how much that will change numbers, but it's factors to throw Into the mix.

That's about right. The net for Trump here is 0.8%.

The polls indicate that RFK Jr. is pulling 0.5 to 1% more from Trump than Kamala.
