A new poll shows President Joe Biden leading Trump 44% to 37%, with Kennedy notching 16%.
Released by Marist in partnership with NPR and PBS Newshour on Tuesday, the poll shows a five-point drop among Democrats for Biden with Kennedy in the race. Meanwhile, the survey indicates a 10-point drop among Republicans for Trump with RFK Jr. on the ticket.
I tend to agree, but then again I would have said the same thing about the Tea Party some years ago. And in presidential elections it could very much be decided on the margins, which is why people are concerned. At Jr. events there tend to be a solid number of people who consider themselves Obama era democrats.
I figure the people that were/are constantly talking up someone like DeSadist as some kind of white knight for the New Donnie-Free Republican Party are either deeply deluded about his chances, or are keeping him groomed in case the nepo baby suddenly dies or is incapacitated due to his age and deeply unhealthy lifestyle.
Poor people who have barely learned to read, let alone critically, are great stooges. And Obama was economically right.
I think there’s also a great element of mental illness involved. RFK Jr. was neither illiterate or stupid, he just went over the edge at some point. I suspect the same is true for many of his (potential) voters.
