People will vote for Trump, because Biden's policies on the border, the economy (inflation), and foreign affairs are the worst in fifty years. Trump is a horror, too. But people perceive him as the only option to a brain-dead Biden. There is an option, however, and that is RFKjr. People need to look at him. If you can't stand the two old puddin' brains, Biden and Trump, RFKjr is an easy choice.

How much exposure does RFK jr have in the US? I never heard of him till recently.

 

Unfortunately, independent candidates do not fare well in US elections.

 

I think Bernie had a good chance till the Dems sabotaged him.

Would be an easy RFK vote if I was a voter. Have watched quite a few of his long form interviews. He seems like a genuine guy. Former drug addict he knows what hitting bottom means and has come through the other end a better person. He is well versed on many topics and speaks often about learning valuable lessons fromhis father and uncles. 

I dont agree with alot of what he says but I think he is the type of person who is smart and humble enough to know what he knows and knows what he doesn't know and would get people to fill the gaps to make alot of changes of the better. I cant see him having any chance of election unfortunately because the whole process is a joke but for me he is easily the best candidate

Listened to the Analysis of Brooks and Capheart segment on PBS Newshour from May 3. I think David Brooks hit the nail on the head. I certainly can understand the feeling although I have far too much education in history not to see the danger and the clear indications that, while Trump is giving voice to the pent up justified frustration/anger within the working middle class, it is unwise to follow Trump.

it is unwise to follow Trump.

 

In a sane world you would be right, but when the alternative is Biden ( and IMO shortly after he gets elected Harris takes over ), Trump is IMO a more sensible option, as he didn't start any wars. I can forgive a great deal for a POTUS that doesn't start wars.

It was an attempt by terrorists, traitors and assorted moronic lowlife scum---orchestrated by the Loser-in-Chief---to overturn 245 years of American democracy. Two hundred years from now it will be held by historians on par with the Civil War, Pearl Harbor and 9-11, as one of the most egregious attacks against the United States ever.

 

All should have been Babbittized, including the one who fomented it.

 

I suspect that once the delay tactics are done, SC Smith---who can change his indictment as he wishes and as new data comes in---will charge trump with Sedition, a capital offense. Fry the fatty!

Yes, it was a planned insurrection whereby a few hundred people without guns were going to overthrow the government and seize control of the United States of America using mop-sticks and whatnot.  Got it.

Well said Sir. It just amazes us non Americans, that a large part of the US population cannot see what a threat he is to their country.

 

I see a lot of propaganda about how "dangerous" he is but never anything to support it.

Perhaps you can explain just how Trump is dangerous, as I have no idea what you mean by it- is he going to create an army of Brown shirts ( in the next 6 months ) to arrest all the liberals and put them in concentration camps perhaps, or invite the Russians to take over the US, or some such?

 

I suspect you don't actually have anything to back up your rhetoric, so I won't hold my breath waiting for an explanation.

Well, non-leftists might say it was started by terrorists, but yeah, the one Obama's called the "good war" and the one Biden flushed down the toilet, that one. 

 

Be nice to have that base right now, huh?

RFKjr polls quite well, especially with so little campaigning so far. It appears the Biden admin and its lackeys are the ones in a panic about him. They're using lawfare to try and keep him off ballots. And instead of discussing his policies and platform, you're likely to get a laughing emoji on AN. If people looked and read and listened to him, they would see a clear preference. I just don't see how people can justify voting for one of the two octogenarian nitwits.

bidens lackeys have  a very strong concern, indeed.Bobby will pull dems & dem leaning moderates ! His VP pick is a die in the wool Dem.

Shanahan told ABC she considers herself a "lifelong Democrat" who was initially disappointed when Kennedy removed himself from the party's primary last fall to run as an independent.

"Well, Trump was actually already president for 4 years and his policies bore no resemblance to those of Hitler, so this makes no sense. In fact, with the Abraham Accords, he made some progress towards peace in the Middle East, which was definitely not high on Hitler’s agenda."...   Elon Musk.

[Yellowtail]

Does; "speaking truth to power" not require one be at some personal risk? 

 

I don't see how a rich elitist speaking to a crowd of clapping seals that are all (at least publicly) in agreement qualifies. 

 

If he were speaking out for Trump or against Obama to the same crowd, then perhaps.

True. His career now reminds me of Bob Hope's at the end of his.

 

His recent Scorcese film about Indian Tribes (to dull to recall the Moon-based title) had him doing the exact same performance as the last dozen films.

He's an (ex) heroin addict and the whole Kennedy family are against him, that must count against him. Cant understand why he calls himself jnr, that ends when the father dies and he's been gone since 1968

So? Do you not believe in rehabilitation? Should anyone that has used illegal drugs be barred from pubic office?

I am not a fan of the RFK Jr. or RFK Sr., but it is not uncommon for people to keep the suffix, particularly then one of both are public figures. 

 

Robert Downey Sr.'s been dead for twenty years, and we still have Robert Downey Jr.

[Startmeup]

When a candidate is as hated as RFK is by the mainstream media (propaganda) then there’s a good chance your on to a winner. Almost as hated as Trump.
The only candidate that I know of that looks to have some integrity and an independent, not part of the uniparty.

The  only way they can protect democracy, is to keep the people that oppose them off the ballot, control the media and crush dissent. 

 

For the greater good of course…

It's only because his views are ones that he approves of.  If was supporting Trump, he would say he's a stupid idiot.

Can't be more dangerous than people like Biden or the Clintons.  If he isn't speaking out against them also, then I would trust what he's saying as being true.

It looks like you survived the Clintons and Biden okay. 

 

It also looks like you are worrying about nothing.

 

As for surviving Trump, he contributed to the deaths of one million Americans from COVID.

You mean when he tried to shut down flights from China and was attacked from the left? 

 

Or when he expedited the development of the vaccines Biden took credit for?
