RFK ALL THE WAY

By Bob Walsh

 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has more support from Republicans than Democrats, a recent Wall Street Journal poll found.
 
RFK Jr. did announce he will be running for El Presidente as an independent.  I am not sure that means he won't run as a Libertarian.  (Cornell West has also announced that he will NOT run as a Green but as an independent, if anybody cares.)

It is unclear if this move will hurt mostly the Democrat-Socialists or mostly the Republicans.  Kennedy is of course an old school Democrat family name.  However, RFK Jr. has some, maybe many, positions that are more aligned with the Republicans than the Democrats.  I have heard talking heads speculate that his run will maybe split more or less down the middle.  Polling shows he is favored more by self-described Republicans than by self-described Democrats.  

In addition the No Labels group, which is sort-of centrist, is working hard to get ballot access on all state ballots for a candidate to be named later.  That is kind of a long reach.

If Joe is going to leave voluntarily and peacefully he will have to do it SOON.  I am confident in my own mind that he LOVES the power and believes he NEEDS to protection the position gives himself and his family, especially his scumbag son.  The movers and shakers will have to have a VERY BIG STICK to push him out.  His sycophants are no doubt telling him he is in good shape and doing a great job.  He is probably burnt out enough that he actually believes their bullshit, mostly because it is also his bullshit.

Right now I am guessing that, unless he strokes out or has some other clear and debilitating medical issue he will be running and will get the nomination.  It is of course possible that the smoking gun on the Biden Crime Family will surface and the Biden's will end up going down in flames, but I am not betting on that happening, at least before the election.
