I really respect this man. I like his message. I’m not a democrat, however he may just get my vote. Bet I’m not unique in this regard, either. Betcha.

I think the mendacity and corruption of the Democrat Party was fully on display in their behavior before, during and after Mr. Kennedy spoke. He defended himself admirably while his opposition defended interests of the cabal everyone knows they serve. People are tired of the Adam Schiffs and Wasserman-Schultzs of the world and see their duplicity. When they get on a roll they display exactly who they are ever more clearly. Never stop your enemy when he is destroying himself! Bobby will always win against them. So much so, I'm very likely to vote for him despite having left the Democrat party years ago. Far from thinking the Dems sandbagged Bobby, I look at the display in Congress as a very successful campaign rally for him.

Watching the hearing yesterday I was shocked to the core by the Democrats' behavior. Think: that they actually tried to censor someone at a hearing on censorship. They have no decency. None. It's not the party I used to vote for. When their authoritarianism became apparent after Trump was elected, I vowed never to vote for another Democrat, ever. I will, however, vote for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. next year.

They hate you because you’re great, and they have nothing left but defaming and slander. You got this Bobby!!!

The only presidential candidate who has ever caught my attention is Kennedy. I don't believe in the two-party system, and I don't align myself with either the Republicans or Democrats. I see myself as a human being who can't be defined by labels. I know that behind all the political theatrics, the one percent are the ones pulling the strings, and they want to keep us, the 99 percent, fighting amongst ourselves so that they can continue with their global agenda. These are evil people who don't care about us at all. If we don't elect someone like Kennedy, it will be game over. The future of our children and grandchildren is at stake. I hope people wake up to this reality and start communicating with each other. The one percent wants us to remain divided so that they can keep their immense power and wealth. The only way we're going to win this battle is by letting any differences between us go and coming together as We The People should have been doing all along. Their ability to essentially brainwash a whole country is astounding to me. We must stand up to this evil together. There is no other way... And my sincere hope is that Kennedy will lead us there.

RFK Jr was great yesterday at the censorship hearing. How he can keep his calm when the Democrats are so vicious against him is amazing. He will make a great President. The democrats behavior yesterday was horrid, they really embarrassed the whole party and the disrespected the constitution.

Stepping back from the emotional charge of yesterday's hearing, I think the Big Picture takeaway is that Bobby won the debate hands-down. In offering a calm response to the dripping hatred of the representatives of his own party, he offered the American public a very different direction: One of dialogue and reasoned debate... Who's not going to respond to that? People are exhausted with the wokesters...

Daring them to expose themselves in full wrath mode seems like a great campaign strategy. The Dems are incapable of countering his logic in a calm and reasonable manner.

I watched and listen to RFK jr yesterday the full none edited version. He was brilliant loved his passion at the smears that the DNC throws at him. He has this conservative vote.

RFKJ’s brilliance and depth was on display, unfortunately, an opprtunity was missed to mention Julian Assange.

A friend of mine said that they are trying to destroy him politically so that they don't have to kill him, (like they did Wellstone).

It is long overdue to publicly state and restate that we have been and are in the middle of largest US conspiracy ever.

Conspiracy led by Hillary DNC team (including St. Obama, Pelosi, Biden, Schiff, etc.) and Deep State (FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.) and also select RINO GOP collaborators.

The unprecedented and on-going CONSPIRACY includes

• Russia-gate 5-year hoax and major election interference,

• coup in Ukraine and attempted coup against elected US president,

• Hunter laptop premediated lies, silencing of US president in social media and resulting stealing of 2020 election,

• protection of Biden and Biden’s family major corruption,

• Jan. 6 armed insurrection set-up (with almost ten dead according to AOC),

• Building a major censorship apparatus led by CIA and FBI executives in State media, Internet, major universities and technology giant firms – that is still maintained

• Persecution, prosecution, and silencing leading 2024 presidential candidates who are opposing the US War uni-party

Dems are truly despicable -- on full display with RFK2

Expand full comment

I hope RFK pivots and places energy and resources into challenging for the No Labels/Green/Libertarian nomination - really any party that will give him ballot access.

In fact, he may be the only individual candidate who could marshal the needed logistics to get on all 50 ballots. It takes time and money, two things RFK has. He should keep the third party option as open as possible.

By continuing to “play” in a hostile sandbox, he is hamstringing his ability to effect change. As a third party candidate, RFK could actually win. Just yesterday, some poll recorded 50% of voters as being open to a third party vote, given the dissatisfaction with the two apparent candidates. That’s a majority.

I know there are many Republicans who would drop Trump for Bobby.

Expand full comment

Many forget that disaffected Dems formed the margin of victory for Trump. There is a significant portion of Trumps “base” that were Democrats ten years ago. Coming home to RFK would be natural.

And remember, polls LIE.

I don't want to have to vote for Trump, but I will if Bobby isn't on the ticket. I was a life-long Democrat and recently registered as a Republican. But I'm planning on re-registering so I can vote for RFK, Jr. in PA's Democratic primary. He's the Democrat we've needed for years now.

Thinking of doing the same in New Mexico.

He’s truthful, compassionate, refuses to be drawn into the insanity, even tempered, decent to a fault, and the most learned man who has run for president since his father ran and his uncle who served.

In one of the books on the pair, I read that it was Bobby who put the real moral fiber into John who was, although very intelligent, previously pretty much of a playboy. It was Bobby who gave him a real vision of what he could do in the presidency to help the world with high principles. John rose to the occasion and together they became the duo with the most integrity in government in a long time. There have been none like them since. This is how RFK Jr. was raised and what the expectations of his father were for him. He has certainly measured up.

yep, and I'm one of them.

Thank you for the post and link. Very good, but RFK, jr. has said he doesn't want to run as an Independent. He is a true, dyed-in-the-wool, solid Democrat-- a long-ago democrat. In pondering this for months, I can say that I do think it would be better for him to get elected as a Democrat. He would just continue to be an Independent Democrat. But I think people should be aware that we can write-in on the Primary ballot. That's a real option, too.

Yes I have seen him say that often. I have also heard him say that if presented with evidence, he is willing to change his mind - about anything.

RFK needs to recognize he is not going to be treated fairly by the Dems. Period. He can continue in a mission doomed to failure, or he can really try to win. I have often heard him say that too. Third party is a winning strategy this cycle. And RFK is just the man to do it.

Bonus: the more he talks about third party, the more leverage he has with the Dems.

PS I am of the mind that Biden will not be President in Nov 2024, much less the nominee. I suspect all of our “analyses” may become moot.

Expand full comment

Agree. I don't think Biden will run. I don't think he CAN run.

Expand full comment

I hear you... I guess I want to stay a Democrat and hope he can succeed within that structure. But I will vote him no matter what the party is called. I don't agree with everything he says, but he's open and truthful. I hope he'll be able to maintain that-- don't know why he couldn't, he's been through a lot in life and is tough enough.

Thanks for your posts.

Last thought: Democrats of my youth (70-90s) are the Middle Majority of today. Leave the radical 25% of either party to vote for their cult leaders.

The sane Middle Majority - who still revere the sacrifices of our forefathers for the American Experiment - should coalesce around RFK and sort things out.

This is our country, not theirs.

Expand full comment

Yes, you've got me pegged perfectly. However, in coalescing we must not forget to really hear the 25% radicals on each side. I only disagree in that it is THEIR country too. But it would be good for them to listen to RFK, jr. and learn what this country is all about. Not just a song from 1776 or Hamilton, good as they may be.

Jim Jordan was enthusiastic about the written statement Kennedy submitted to the committee. Is there anywhere to read it?

My thoughts... I'm a big fan of RFK Jr's message. But the tone of this piece goes against one of the reasons I really like him - his intention and efforts to stop the othering. It's all well and good if he doesn't badmouth Republicans, but when his supporters start othering Democrats, that's a problem. A critique is great and pointing out the failings of the DNC is fine, but pitting his voice against them results in a different kind of polarizing which smells a lot like the D vs. R or right vs. left or conservative vs. liberal polarizing. If the idea is to bring people together, all kinds of othering will cause the same problems and he will get crushed in the fallout. I'm a Democrat and I like the guy and his message but there are other Democrats out there who do good things too and I'd like to hear more about that.

If everyone is against him? That is the person you want as President. He has my vote.
