  1. As soon as this came out I was like “dude’s just going to steal trump votes” and was shot down here on Reddit. Even the media was on “RFK’s going to steal Biden’s win!” autopilot. Looks like people are finally noticing the obvious, including Republicans.

  2. Gotta love it when a republican-plant turns into a faceplant.

  3. It would be poetic if this whole strategy completely backfires on them.

  4. Will the q crowd be pissed that RFK Jr is running against JFK Jr?

  5. Tough decision — should we vote for the crackpot with or without 91 felonies?

  6. We’ll know for sure he’s concerned when he starts talking about RFKj’s history of heroin addiction. If he’s really scared, he’ll bring up how RFKj’s second wife killed herself after their divorce.

  7. Bannon and Stone figured he’d be a useful plant to disrupt the Democratic primary but probably didn’t count on him turning to an independent bid, where his loony toon views will appeal to the same people Trump targets

  8. The real issue here (both for our society generally and the Republicans specifically, in this case) is that an electorally significant portion of our population is divorced from reality to such a degree that they are casting votes based on complete nonsense. The people voting based on the idea that they are going to get access to medbeds, or to have their debts paid by NESERA, or to help rescue children from adrenochrome harvesting, are not voting because they really love the Republican party, they’re voting based on their belief that they live in a bad science fiction movie.

  9. Leading candidate concerned that bat shit crazy coalition will rally behind candidate even weirder than him…..

    Welcome to political theater in 2023..

  10. I feels this a race to the bottom and contest to who will have to most ignorant, conspirational and hateful rethoric.

  12. I wish we could use articles like this as a starting point to ignore under qualified people from public attention. These two ONLY have family money as a basis for anything in their lives. the orange guy would be flipping burgers in some queens slophouse if it weren’t for daddy. The other guy is, by all appearance, a mental defective. (I actually knew him).

  13. This will hurt Trump more than it will ever hurt Biden.

    And I’m right here for it.

  14. P01135809 should be concerned… now if Cheney decided to run as an independent? That could be bad for Joe.

  15. Imagine being a recovered addict and every headline in America calling you a crackpot.

  16. Interesting.

    The “both sides are to blame” *Breaking Points* and *Hill Rising* podcasts were promoting RFK, Jr. pretty hard when they thought he would pull votes from Biden.

    Are they still in love with him now that it looks like he’d be pulling votes from Trump instead?

  17. Only in America can you see one Presidential candidate attempt to out-crazy another in order to get the vote of 30% of the population; who are crazy.

  18. A few of my Democrat relatives went MAGA. They still don’t like republicans but for whatever reason Trump made them feel something. I could see them taking their crazy over to RFK Jr.

    These are all people who voted for Obama but had so much distrust for Hillary that they devoted their lives to worshiping a known conman.

  20. It’s hilarious, Trump now has to fight through these clones and offshoots of the worst aspects of what he represents.

    Desantis with the blatant authoritarianism, RFk JR with the wacky conspiracies. Trump is like an evil gremlin that got wet and sprouted worst gremlins trying to take his crown. What a shitshow

  21. I don’t understand how people think RFKJ would pull votes away from Biden instead of Trump.

  22. Trump supporters primarily started supporting him because of name and brand recognition. They said “hey I know that guy as a rich and successful businessman”.

    The Q-Anon group latched on to the JFK jr conspiracy because of name recognition with him and his father(and their untimely deaths).

    RFK has the Kennedy name and a crackpot conspiratorial worldview. Of course he was always going to siphon more MAGA voters than democrats.

  23. Let’s start a rumor that RFK Jr is running as an independent as a ploy by the Democrats to hurt Trump. I know it’s not true. You know it’s not true. The gullible right will believe it.

    ​

    That should really set their rabble rousing to a fever pitch.

  24. Just wait until we get past the primaries and we start hearing from the general election candidates. RFK Jr.’s views will be on full display so we can watch him turn off Biden voters while siphoning off Trump votes.

  25. I’ve been saying this would happen. The anti vax nutters, most of who would vote for Trump, would vote for Kennedy. Paging Aaron Rogers.
