It is finally really happening, it seems.
The Democrats have dug their own grave by forcing the only true populist candidate on their ticket out of the primary and into direct competition with incumbent Joe Biden (or whichever puppet they replace the current puppet with) in the general election. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been threatening — due to maltreatment from his own party, including being viciously smeared with every pejorative under the sun — to vacate the Democrat Party plantation and plot his own third-party run as an independent.
Here’s what he said a couple of weeks ago during a Forbes interview:

If this report is true, it means votes subtracted from some Democrat or another. It's good news, same as in 2000, when Ralph Nader did just enough damage to Gore to prevent the Manbearpig from becoming president.

I wonder if the "No Labels" frauds will embrace his campaign. He's not enough of a communist deep stater for them.

Well, he certainly is not welcome as a democrat candidate, so why not?

Poopy-Pants will need at least 5-10 million more fraudulent votes.

May 18, 2023........
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has chosen former Rep. Dennis Kucinich to manage his 2024 presidential campaign, uniting the two famously idiosyncratic political figures in a long-shot attempt to defeat President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary campaign."
It's over before it started.

#1 is correct. Like Ralph Nader and Jill Stein, the dems see a third party that draws away even a hint of dem votes away from them in a general election as fatal. If true, the long knives are really coming out for RFK Jr.

Great news for everyone no matter the outcome. We need candidates with alternative viewpoints even if I personally don’t vote for them. Would be Democrats need to have alternatives to where their party is heading now. I wish him luck, but he may do much than people think and draw votes from both Trump and Biden. This upcoming election like nothing we have ever seen, an ex- president under indictment and a current president who has lost his mental faculties.

He'd better triple his security because the democrats wouldn't hesitate for a minute to take him out, it's who they are.

This will boost Trump even more in the primaries & finish off the others.
The political equation just zero dem out!

I'm not breaking out any champagne in celebration of this report. May or may not be good for conservative voters like me. Unintended consequences loom. The election is over one year away. Who knows what will happen in that time?

I’m suspicious, like #2.
I find it hard to believe the democrat party, of all parties, wouldn’t welcome a Kennedy, of all people.
Something ain’t right.

His uncle, JFK would never be welcome in today's Democrat party.
If he runs, it will be much tougher for cheating since they won't know if his votes will come from Democrat party candidates.

In my world RFKJr is an acceptable alternative. In the macro view he sees the enemy and it is an authoritarian Democrat Party. I intend to vote for DJT but this will be an election like no other. We are at the end game.

This will be interesting. Will the average Democrat vote for the corrupt brain dead Biden or will they vote for RFK Jr? If they vote for Biden the country will know for sure the Democrats are insane.

i find more conservatives talking about him than Lefties. but who they would vote for remains to be seen. i suspect RFKJr would pull from both sides.

I think the Democrats are pulling a Brer Rabbit "Don't throw me in the briar patch" number with their professions of alarm over an RFK Jr. third party candidacy.
I think it could be disastrous. RFK takes many of the stands that energize likely Republican voters -- he advocates closing the borders, has slammed the COVID lockdown dictatorship, and takes the Trumpian position on settlement of the Ukraine quagmire. People who admire his courage on these issues should (and in his absence well might) be our voters. They're on their way into the Republican Party and RFK is a way station.
It reminds me of 1980, when people thought "liberal Republican" John Anderson's third party candidacy would hurt Reagan, draining historic GOP voters. That was false. Anderson spoke to Eastern and Northern Midwest ("Greater New England") Republicans who had been increasingly leery of the Goldwater/Reagan party. They were on. their way to voting Democrat. Anderson slowed them down.
Cornell West, a true wacko leftist, presumably liked by some Dem extremists, might help the Republican nominee a little. But very little.

If his campaign gains any traction there will be a tragic accident and a big service with a hoard of long-faced dems.

What if Biden, for whatever reason, is not on the '24 Dem ballot? Assume it will be Newsom. Also assume Trump is the GOP nominee. If RFK Jr is still the 3d party candidate a year from now, who actually benefits in this scenario?
Watch the MSM reaction in the months ahead regarding RFK's candidacy. If it's vicious, they fear what he could do to the dem vote. If it's muted or even encouraging, then the fix is in.

Not sure that junior's running as an indy will negate the hit order, but you never know.

#2,15,17,22,23,EtAl~ Comments posted to the Legal Insurrection article that was just posted to this website (Report: RFK Jr. Planning To Run For President as Independent – Who Does It Help/Hurt? – William A. Jacobson) reflect a mix of views about the impact RFK,Jr. will have on Joe Biden and/or President Trump. Of serious consideration are from those who believe voters not wanting either Joe Biden or President Trump will vote for RFK,Jr. and that includes “establishment” Republicans who would never vote for President Trump. Others contend that RFK,Jr. has strong appeal to the solid right demographic and that mothers love RFK,Jr. because of his stance on vaccines.
