Will hurt biden way more than any republican, folks are praying for an alternative to biden that isn't Trump.

This is the democrat version of Ross Perot.

RFK is running better with Repubs than with Dems.  That's why he's rebranding as an independent.  You know who is praying for an alternative to Biden that isn't trump?  a good chunk of republicans, as well as most moderates.  RFK will definitely take more votes from Trump than Biden.  Biden had a 50 point lead over him in polls amongst democrats.

Nope, believe you're wrong on this one, no doubt he will take some votes away from Trump but all I heard in the last election, even from from several on this site, that a vote for Biden wasn't a vote for Biden, it was a vote a vote against Trump.

Now those millions have someone to vote for that isn't Trump or Biden.

I won't waste time arguing something that is simply speculation, but I'm pretty sure I'm right on this one, we'll see.

Your theory only works if the 3rd party has an actual chance to win.  This one doesnt.  We'll see how it plays out, but most people in the center who previously voted against Trump understand enough to realize that a vote for RFK is in fact a vote for Trump, as RFK has no chance to win.  If they're insistent on voting against Trump, they're also not going to cast a vote that increases Trump's chance to win, but will instead just vote for Biden again.  Where Trump gets hurt is the people on the right who were forced to vote for Trump even though they hate him, who now have a more palatable option.  But time will tell.

You give the American voter way too much credit, lol, I don't think they give it that much consideration.

There will be plenty of folks like myself that aren't fans at all of Trump the man, but still know that if it come down to him or Biden, it's a no-brainer for the good of the country, while also realizing that RFK would likely be a wasted vote, even though I think he has some good ideas.

Perot pulled votes almost 100% from Bush while RFK can pull from both bases.

One thing is for sure, time will tell

I have to agree with you on this.  Plus, there's another candidate that will pull from Biden.  That is Cornel West.  He's a green commie pinko.  Won't pull from Trump for sure.  As for as Kennedy, people are looking for "Anybody But Biden!"  These are also the ones that may not go for Trump.  But, on the other hand, people are realizing that they had it pretty good under Trump.  And also realizing how bad it is under JoeBama.  Perot pulled 19%.  Hard to tell if Kennedy and West could pull that much.  Without the 19% pulled, we would not have had Clintonista!

I'm anxious to see who Kennedy targets in his add campaigns. That may decide from which candidate he pulls more votes.

Well, he fancies himself a Democrat, he's was raised in a Democrat dynasty and he's pissed at the DNC for zero consideration as a candidate. My guess is he will target both, but I think it's fair to say he has a bigger bone to pick with Biden.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
