Trump Is Freaking Out As His RFK Jr. Problem Worsens

"SNIP...........
Why is Trump now trying to convince the tiny number of people who use Truth Social not to vote for RFK Jr.?
The answer can be found in a new CBS News Poll of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, Most of those picking Kennedy in a four-way ballot test backed Trump initially in a two-way race with Mr. Biden, including leaners. Kennedys supporters look more like Republicans than Democrats on a variety of measures, including their views on the economy, immigrants, and Trumps trial, as well as how they voted recently, despite the fact that they often identify as moderates.
Kennedy caused Trump to lose support with what is often referred to as the soft MAGA group of voters. These are voters who may identify as moderates or Independents, but they vote Republican.
Trump must have these voters. If he doesnt, his odds of victory drop in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
RFJ JR. was a Trump and Steve Bannon idea. They thought that an RFJ Jr. candidacy would take votes away from President Biden, but the left saw through RFK Jr., and the right embraced his candidacy. In response, RFK Jr. has shifted his positions to the right, and is taking away support from Donald Trump.

Before Bannon decided to prop Bobby up, he should have considered the worst case scenario along with the best.

This is what's known as 'the law of unintended consequences'. Or karma.
