There are differing opinions on the impact of RFK Jr. dropping out of the presidential race. But here's one by a recognized expert:

RFK Jr. dropping out would benefit Kamala Harris: Historian

• Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew from the ballot in Arizona
• If he drops out of race, it would boost Harris' campaign, historian says
• Kennedy campaign 'disappearing' wipes out negative key for Harris: Lichtman

Aug 23, 2024

 

CHICAGO (NewsNation) — A historian who’s correctly predicted nearly every presidential race since 1984 says that if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drops out of the 2024 election, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris will benefit.

 

Allan Lichtman, an American University professor, has used a formula of 13 true-or-false questions, or “keys,” in his winning predictions.

Also, the same Fox News report above includes the following:

 

-- in Wisconsin, a Dane County circuit court judge for now has denied Kennedy’s request for a temporary restraining order to put on hold the state elections commission’s decision to keep him on the ballot.

 

AND

 

--in Michigan, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson plans to appeal the lower court ruling granting Kennedy's request to the state's Supreme Court.

Looks like corruption. Keeping a man on a ballot that wants out.

Thank goodness. Keep all the crazy and delirious old guys together on one side. It makes it so much easier for voters to choose the party that doesn't contain any crazy old guys.

From the above News Nation report:

 

"One of Lichtman’s negative “keys” against the party currently in the White House is a significant third-party campaign, as he says it’s a sign of people’s discontent with the current government.

 

“The basis of my keys to the White House is that it’s governing, not campaigning,” Lichtman said. “The disappearing RFK campaign then wipes out a possible negative key against the incumbent party.”

Which is nonsense as Kennedy supports Trump.

You're entitled to your opinion, just as he's entitled to his...

 

But as he (unlike you) is a recognized expert on correctly forecasting past U.S. presidential election outcomes, I know whom I'm going to listen to.

But it's not. You clearly don't understand the metrics of it all. And Lichtman knows far better than you, and on everything else too for that matter.

I predicted all those results. Most elections are easy. This one is closer. The debate will matter and any economic shocks.

He had to sig( law suit) the courts on Michigan and Secretary of State for 

Michigan Benson imop

 

“Benson, a Democrat, "had no basis to deny (Kennedy's) request to withdraw his name from the ballot," a three-judge panel of the Michigan Court of Appeals said Friday”.

This summer the dems were fighting to keep RFK off the ballots.

You don't have to like Trump to support his policies.

 

Putting aside my dislike for Harris the person, I just think that she has no qualifications or experience to make he a suitable POTUS. Has she even had a real job in her life?

Not just Rfk jr! 

opinion from the editorial dept:

 

anti democracy dems:

Hmm: Democrats are fighting to get third-party candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West off the ballot in multiple states — while simultaneously battling to keep RFK Jr. on some states’ ballot even after he’s withdrawn.

“Defending democracy” sure is a tricky business. 

Of course, the “principle” at stake here is nothing but “what’s best for Kamala Harris.”

[bamnutsak]

I'm not sure I'd call these "wins" or "victories"?

 

He pushed hard to get on the ballot(s), then pushed hard to get off them.

 

More indicative of his inability to stick to a plan.

 

Surprising that he flip-flopped? No.

 

Brain worms at work.

Do some research on her yourself, and find out for yourself.

???????????????????

I know everything I need to know that she is not the best person to run the US ( and that isn't saying that Trump is either ).

 

She reminds me of the last female PM of NZ that was IMO a complete disaster for the country.

She reminds me of Kevin Rudd, a people pleaser. Worst leader ever who flip flopped like her. The best leaders aim to please 70% of the people with good decisions for long term. Her ideas are stupid.
