1. No Comment

He is a darling of the MAGA right.

[Cattledog]

2. RFK Jr and M.W. are both POS

[applegrove]

3. He will not have trouble raising GOP PAC money.

[ancianita]

37. I don't care if they're Democrats, they're making money, and that's all that will come of this.

Just their presence in the runup pisses me off. Alert, I don't care.

[LudwigPastorius]

4. Wish he would run as an independent.

That would siphon off a significant amount of Q votes from the Fat One.

[DemocraticPatriot]

14. NO, I don't believe it would be to our advantage...

First, I don't believe he would siphon off a "significant amount of Q votes" from Trump or whomever.

Second, he does have a great Democratic name (but nothing else)....

As an independent candidate, I believe it is just possible that he could siphon more low-info votes from our side, than from theirs...

[LiberalFighter]

35. It would be better for him to run Democratic and lose primaries

It would be very difficult to get on the ballot in every state as an independent after losing at the Democratic National Convention.

[musclecar6]

6. Too Bad

He could’ve been a viable candidate in our party, but obviously he’s gone round the bend with his out there views. He could’ve been a congressman, senator, cabinet secretary, etc. and made a valuable contribution to our country, following in his father’s footsteps.

[electric_blue68]

13. He's done some very good River Keeper work etc but he went off the rails on these anti-vax beliefs..

20+ yrs ago. A shame.

[claudette]

7. He'll never

win the primary, in my view.

[BlueIdaho]

8. Not far

And not for long.

[brush]

9. That nut is wasting his time. Imagine if he had been pres...

when covid hit. Our population would've been cut by millions of people and we'd still be suffering from the virus.

I just hope this nut doesn't take Dem votes which will help repubicans.

[pnwmom]

11. He'll be attacking Biden in primaries, eliminating what should be Biden's incumbent advantage.

And when he loses, there's nothing to stop him from running third party, and tossing the election to the R's.

[Mr.Bill]

12. Actually, I think as an Independant or other third party

he could take the bat-shit crazy anti-vax republican votes away from them. I don't see many Democrats voting for him under any circumstances.

[DemocraticPatriot]

15. Low-info Democratic leaning voters

might vote for "the name"...

At this point, that is all he has.

[dflprincess]

18. I don't think "the name" will mean as much as it used

especially among younger voters.

[emulatorloo]

16. When he announced his exploratory committee on Twitter, MAGAs got very excited

about his potential candidacy. Many hoping he would be Trump’s VP.

[pnwmom]

19. They are mostly excited about the prospect of him pulling away progressive votes from Biden.nt

[pnwmom]

17. There are also batshit crazy anti-vax progressive (in other respects) voters,

just like RFK, who would be impressed with his environmental work.

[Mr.Bill]

21. True, but I think republican anti-vaxers

greatly outnumber them. And given what's going on leagally for a Trump, by November 2024 there will be republicans looking for an alternative.

[SouthernDem4ever]

25. Most of them are dead now

It's not a good voting bloc.

[pnwmom]

27. The problem is that RFK's attacks will hurt Biden in the primaries,

and there's no guarantee RFK would stop his run with a primary loss.

[ancianita]

38. I think Biden's like 'hold my beer,' and he'll think circles around RFK.

The party will tell RFK to take his money and go home.

[Cha]

39. My hope is it's like the 2020

run up.. Biden was attacked then, too.

[brush]

31. The OP doesn't exactly say what party he intends to run...

under. I understand he's popular with Qanons and magats because of his anti-vaxx foolishness. If he tries primary Joe Biden as a Dem it won't work IMO as he's so unpopular with us Dems because of his anti-vaxx stance.

[LiberalFighter]

36. It will be very difficult to get his name on the ballot in every state. If any.

[lapucelle]

10. ...

[oldsoftie]

20. What a whacko. And hypocrite.

[gldstwmn]

23. This is... problematic.

Sigh.

[DemocraticPatriot]

28. I sent him a personal text urging him NOT to run!

I guess he didn't recognize my name. HAHAHAHA


But yes, it is problematic--- especially if President Biden does not file for the New Hampshire primary because of their refusal to abide by the Democratic party schedule rules-- we might need to beat him in New Hampshire with write-in votes for President Biden...

(Of course, an RFK victory in New Hampshire against Marianne and sundry other non-viable candidates, and over a Biden write-in vote, would be technically meaningless, but how would the media play it??)


His father is rolling over in his grave. There is no "great issue" this year to justify this challenge against a GREAT Democratic President!

[SouthernDem4ever]

24. He can't be trusted

Spread the word far and wide!

[Historic NY]

26. LOL his wagon has gone around the bend...

Even his wife said so. [link:https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/25/entertainment/cheryl-hines-robert-f-kennedy-jr-anne-frank-cec/index.html|]

[Richard D]

29. Oh good gods. . . nt

[lonely bird]

30. Not just no

But hell no.

There are enough lunatics in politics already.

[Martin68]

32. RFK Jr. is delusional.

[Rebl2]

34. Yes

and apparently his wife thinks the same-related to a post above.

[Joinfortmill]

33. Sigh. This won't be helpful.

[RussBLib]

40. Kennedy stands no chance, like Williamson

The line for kooks forms on the right, not on the left.

[SpankMe]

41. He's an anti-vax crackpot. So, no. n/t

[OneCrazyDiamond]

42. Maybe he shouldn't. nt

[twodogsbarking]

43. Sorry about your dad, and your uncle, and cousin.

[Bayard]

44. Why?

I admired his work as an environmentalist, but now--not so much. Rethugs will probably like his anti-Fauci stance. They may also think JFK Jr. is going to be his running mate.
