I like Robert. I think there are some advantages over Trump. 1) If he was President, we would never have had a vaccine. 2) The pandemic would never have happened 3) I can't imagine him listening to Fauci 4) He hates corporate interest in government policy
I don't think he is a socialist like Berny.
So here is the thread: Fill me in on what is bad about him. How much would we be spending in Ukraine?
I like him for the same reason I like Trump: I would really foul things up for the globalist corporations.
Here is a potential weakness: Climate change. That is a big one.

I think he also drifts into that "Libertarian" lane, he is really out there now being a spokesperson for Bitcoin, regardless how you feel about bitcoin, in theory I find it very interesting. Look no further than Ron Paul when he advocated bring back the gold standard, again in theory, do not allow governments, a "Fed" to just print money at their discretion.
Hmmm, Rand Paul - RFK Jr. ticket?

In late 2021-early 2022, Q Anon was claiming that Trump would return to power, and that he would be joined by JFK Jr. Some believed Jr's death was staged, and that he had been seen in some crowds after his supposed death.  Followers say JFK Jr. is Q himself, a mythological Trump supporter entrenched in the “deep state” that occasionally leaks information on the Satan-worshipping cabal of cannibalistic, pedophiliac Democrats QAnon followers think rule the world. Some say President Kennedy himself at over 100 years old will make an appearance also.
Maybe they just got it wrong, and it's RFK Jr. who will team up with Trump.
Many QAnon believers claim that JFK Jr. didn’t actually die in a plane crash in 1999, and his reemergence will signal Trump’s (possibly permanent) return to power. www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2021/11/22/qanon-supporters-pack-site-of-jfk-assassination-in-hopes-jfk-jr-and-maybe-his-dad-will-return/?sh=4f324c4048a3 |

RFK needs a lot of Secret Service protection. He is going against the grain. I really like the guy. Even though he is a Democrat. The only thing that would dis-way me, is if he is a trans activist or trans supporter.
Nictoe, I watched that video. Amazing: His statements about Dulles and others, the CIA. Putting all of my knowledge together now, I think the CIA killed his uncle and likely his dad.
I like the part in the video where they say "He is a threat to democracy, we need to censor him." LOL

LOL He has taken on the Trump M/O of going up against not only his own party but the entire swamp that surrounds the Whitehouse. Trump & Kennedy are going full frontal punk rock. Imagine if these two could do what those loser BLM and Antifa creeps tried to do......!  |

Biden could lose first two '24 contests to RFK Jr.
Alex Thompson
President Biden is almost certain to be Democrats' pick for president in 2024, but he might not win the first two contests of the primary season if they're in the traditional first-to-vote states of Iowa and New Hampshire — a scenario that seems increasingly likely.
Driving the news: Biden's team is indicating he won't be on the ballots in those states if they vote before South Carolina, his choice to have the first primary.
Why it matters: Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire could defy Biden and move ahead with their contests — even as the party warns it will strip them of their national convention delegates if they jump the gun.
That sets up a scenario in which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or another long-shot Democrat could win those states — and embarrass the president.
State of play: Since Biden’s surprise decision last December to make South Carolina the first state in Democrats' 2024 season with a primary on Feb. 3, New Hampshire Democrats have openly bashed the White House and the Democratic National Committee.
The new calendar put New Hampshire and Nevada voting second — a few days after South Carolina — but New Hampshire Democrats note that their state law requires them to have the nation's first primary, and many vow to keep it that way.
Iowa Democrats haven't been as publicly hostile over Biden's move. But in the past two months they've quietly moved to hold their contest the same day as Iowa Republicans — in January, but with a mail-in option for ballots.
That could put Iowa first on the Democrats' calendar — but New Hampshire lawmakers and party officials have signaled they may then attempt to move ahead of Iowa.
In touting South Carolina to kick off the primary season, Biden’s team has said it wanted voting to start in a racially diverse state to give minorities more of a say in early presidential contests.
New Hampshire was about 87% white in the 2020 Census, while Iowa was about 83% white. South Carolina was about 62% white.
Biden also has fond memories of South Carolina, where his primary victory in 2020 propelled him to the Democratic nomination. He has struggled in Iowa and New Hampshire contests in the past, and his team saw political security in pushing for South Carolina to vote first.
Between the lines: Top Iowa and New Hampshire Democrats fume that the DNC’s lengthy process for determining the primary calendar — which included long written proposals, presentations, and travel — felt like needless theater for a pre-determined outcome.
Biden’s proposed calendar stunned many top Democrats — even DNC chair Jamie Harrison, who is from South Carolina, said he wasn't given a heads-up before the decision.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the senior senator from New Hampshire, told Axios: “I believe the DNC's process was flawed and that top party officials had their own agenda from the start.”
A senior Iowa Democrat echoed Shaheen, saying: “We are rule followers and want to be part of the process, but we did everything the DNC asked and we got no consideration.”
Mo Elleithee, a member of the party's Rules and Bylaws Committee and a longtime Democratic strategist, defended the process.
“We’re seeing a trend in politics where some people just claim the whole system is rigged when they don’t get their way," Elleithee said. "That’s not the case here."
Jim Messina, Barack Obama's 2012 campaign manager, added: "Even if a candidate is going to win the first mythical first states of Iowa and New Hampshire, it’s not going to matter."
What’s next: If Biden isn't on the ballot, some Democrats have floated a write-in campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Biden's campaign declined to say whether it would support such an effort.
The DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee will review the party's primary plan Friday in Minneapolis.
The early state calendar has not been fully set because of complicated mix of state laws, DNC rules, and state party proposals.

Usually the DNC controls things (Much better than the GOP) on such political and procedural tactics (Tricks). RK is a threat to the establishment party in which he carries (IMHO) in name only, like Trump. Both Robert and Donald not only take on their opposing parties, they do so as well within there own. I think that is why many like both. However, it is a tougher road objecting to status quo.

Despite the fact that he is opposing Joe Biden, RFK Jr. is still a looney liberal. There is no reason to fall in love with him.

Being "Libertine" or especially a "Libertarian" has been a struggle in America for decades. I always thought the Republica Party had missed a huge opportunity at not making sure Libertarians were fully under their umbrella. I always had hope one day a Republican would do just that. Never did I think it would be a Democrat taking the wheel...
