There is a sizable slice of old school GOP that very well may go with RFK.

I started looking into his position on the border yesterday. He went there. He was absolutenly appalled and said so. He sees it the way it needs to be seen. I'm going to watch how his visit effects his platform.

As a single issue voter being a native to the American SW, the invasion at the border, my homeland has been destroyed. Pardon me, but that is my only issue that matters that much to me.

I also like his vax position.

I could easily be persuaded to vote for him.





IMO your analysis is right.

Trump is not the “old school” GOP.

Biden is not for Kennedy Democrats.

Carville, whose politics I’m not in alignment with but I appreciate his intelligence and experience, nailed it - the far left whackos are the Dems problem. No different than extreme right “maga”.

Kennedy is calm, controlled, straight forward, not playing the identity game, and has a unfortunate amount of experience with how problematic politics can be. It appears all of that shaped him a bit. Not so much that he gets the “common man” but more like he has an desire to see society function effectively and peacefully.

I look at it like this - would non-maga republicans or moderate Dems flock to RFK Jr. ? I think so.

Just like if JFK ran again today, he’d win in a landslide. He’d be right of center by a bit using today’s standards.

Kennedy represents the last best hope to get us off the Biden/Trump, D vs. R bs ride we’ve been on since Obama in particular.

RFK Jr. 24

I respect what you've said here, and am considering the advantage of breaking the grip the two parties have.

Lets watch how it unfolds.

Could be historic landslide.... for RFK, Jr.

I think he will take away more votes from Biden than Trump.

I agree... some or many of the rabid RINO anti-Trumpers will vote for him rather than sit it out, but they certainly won't vote for O'Biden...

If he is willing to resolve the invasion on our southern border as a very high priority, he will have my vote.

So far he does seem to recognize the problem and it's implications and horrors. If he comes out as strongly on the border as any of the GOP, he's my man.

So you would vote for him over Trump, essentially throwing away your vote?

So, you're saying his running as an Independent is actually the RINOs secret plot to steal real votes from Trump?

It could be a landslide, but if nothing else it will tell us the temperature of the proverbial room.

How many people will say they’ve had enough of Biden and Trump?

I’ve had it - and see neither of them as viable options.

RFK takes the mRNA vax garbage off the table, likely stops us from being in endless conflicts around the globe, and more.

Will someone who is center right/left love all of his policies?

Probably not.

But he likely take some of the big ticket concerns of many people off the table. Which is a massive win, and finally rids us of the dysfunction that is Biden/Trump - the country needs to move on from both of them.

Sure, there could be new dysfunction… but at least we’re starting over a bit.

This needs to be our guy.

The next president will be the one that gets the most corporate campaign money.

Did the GOP shoot itself in the foot because of the overturn of roe v wade? Time will tell....


I think the GOP will have a difficult time with women voters because of Roe vs Wade being overturned so absolutely they did.

This country needs a 3rd party candidate that is NOT extreme left or right.

It is crazy that both Democrats and Republicans have gone so far left and right, that party candidate is stepping up with centralist views.

If the Republicans insist on running with Trump, who almost 2/3rds of the country will not vote for, they deserve to lose.

Consequencely if the Democrats insist on trying to get 4 more years out if Biden, despite his issues and someone who will never get more that half the country's support they too deserve to lose.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a someone most Americans can be happy to call their President.

I just hope he can shake off the stigma that a 3rd party candidate can't win and folks who normally vote straight D or R will decide he is the best man for the job. This is potentially the first viable 3rd party President candidate since Teddy ran under the Bull Moose slogan, Perot gets an honorable mention but he mostly appealed to otherwise Republican voters.

RFK Jr can and will get votes from registered Democrat and Republicans.


I support RFK Jr's run for President!

I live in CA. Trump is not going to win CAs electors.

But RFK might. so which vote would be the throw away?

no. Is that what YOU are saying?

I doubt it. Traditional GOP can't find their asses with both hands, so I doubt they would do anything so brilliant.

California's elections have been compromised for at least 20 years, so you're screwed either way.

Who knew you and I would ever find ourselves on the same side of an argument, my friend!

See folks, RFK could be the one to win the office and unify the people.

Notice I did not say the politicians.

I'd love to see it.

That is an interesting development. But I have to say, if ever there was a chance a third party candidate would win - this is it. I don't think its possible for American voters to be more disappointed with either party than they are right now. But, there could still be a "hold my beer" moment from either side that pushes them even further from their constituents.

The only thing democrats have going in their favor is the fact that their devoted followers don't seem to care how bad they are. They just keep voting for free stuff until the well runs dry. Republicans aren't doing much better. They had a golden opportunity with this unmitigated disaster of a POTUS yet they let is pass. Its like they are trying to play a solid defense when the opponent has no offense. They both sit there at midfield blinking at each other wondering who has the ball...

One thing the democrats have in their favor is the roe v wade issue. And the GOP gave it to them.

It's all they need to win in 24.

What you said is actually an example of the thing you quoted. Its only in their favor if there are more people in this country who want to kill babies than people who don't. And as usual, the liberal side is all for it and the conservative side is against it. So this is just another example of democrats voting for things they should avoid at all costs simply because democrat. If you listen to the most corrupt media this nation has ever had, you will think no one agrees with this supreme court decision. But when you ignore the media and get back to the real world you find it has quite a lot of support. The media will tell you the entire country wants pornography in school libraries and drag shows for 5 year olds. In the real world - not the case. And this has been made quite clear, even for the lying media. Ask Bud Lite how right the media is...

RFK Jr does a good job of explaining what mostly low-IQ people refer to as "Conspiracy Theories".

This is a good read for those who want to know what Robert Kennedy Jr. thinks. He explains his positions to a Democrat who called in to a radio show.

Good Read: www.thegatewaypundit.com...
