While Kennedy has know Joe Biden for over 40 years and considers him a friend, Kennedy blasted his administration and staff who were instrumental in having his request for Secret Service protection denied. Kennedy said "I just don't believe that Joe would have personally made the decision" to throw him to the mercy of would-be assassins and crazy people out there by denying him Secret Service protection. Rather, Kennedy is certain that somebody else is making those decisions, because Joe Biden is no longer capable.
When asked whether Kennedy considers himself a spoiler to the Biden campaign, he glazed over the fact that he has not been treated fairly by the Democrat Party and just said "no, I'm not here to do anything except win".
Well, Kennedy is running as an Independent, even though he's a lifelong Democrat. Why? Because the Democrats wouldn't allow him to run against Biden.EDC4ALL! » 04 Mar 2024, 3:33 pm » wrote: ↑ 1st Biden needs to debate Kennedy.

CELL PHONE JAMMER RFK, Jr. is a life-long Democrat (not registered as one right now), but he's running as an independent. I made that clear in my OP and in a follow up post. The only reason he's not a Democrat is because the Democrats tried to shut him down and silence him.maineman » 04 Mar 2024, 3:42 pm » wrote: ↑ RFK Jr. is not a Democrat.

I've got to give the guy some credit to see that coming. Bernie Sanders is a worthless squish.

I think RFK Jr has a bigger following with the younger crowd than Bernie did in 2016.Skans » 04 Mar 2024, 3:53 pm » wrote: ↑ I've got to give the guy some credit to see that coming. Bernie Sanders is a worthless squish.

Kennedy filed all of the paperwork needed to run for President as a Democrat. He's an environmentalist and an environmental attorney. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/05/politics ... index.htmlmaineman » 04 Mar 2024, 3:55 pm » wrote: ↑ He was once a democrat. Now he is not.

"GO F- YOURSELF, ROBERT"
Some people who tend to side Republican who hardly ever vote anyway might get out to vote for a 3rd party candidate like Kennedy. I think it's a lot less than Dems speculate.RedheadedStranger » 04 Mar 2024, 3:58 pm » wrote: ↑ I think RFK Jr has a bigger following with the younger crowd than Bernie did in 2016.
A strong Independent run out of him could crush the Dems in November. It could hurt Trump a bit too, but I believe it hurts the Dems more.
I hear the 20 somethings talking about RFKJr way more than they ever did about Bernie... at least around here anyway.Skans » 04 Mar 2024, 4:07 pm » wrote: ↑ Some people who tend to side Republican who hardly ever vote anyway might get out to vote for a 3rd party candidate like Kennedy.

Debbie Wasserman Schults told Kennedy to go f- himself for even thinking about challenging the esteemed Joe Biden."GO F- YOURSELF, ROBERT" Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who had raised an unsuccessful motion at the outset of the hearing to move the committee into executive session over Kennedy’s past remarks on the effects of the Covid-19 virus on Asian and Jewish people, did confront Kennedy directly for his comments about Covid-19 health policies and the Holocaust.
