General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJust heard a discussion on Andrea Mitchel reports
The discussion concerned RFK. They were discussing his running mate. Kasich was talking about how the Dems should be concerned and then I think it was one of Obama's campaign advisors was saying he was worried about it.
Was this a weird strategy because I would think such a ticket would only appeal to wing-nut anti-vaccers who are mostly MAGATs. Wouldn't such a ticket take from Trump?

I knew a local party officer who was excited about him when he was gonna run as a Dem. Person didn't know about his anti-vax stuff. Not everyone in the know is on DU or get all the info.

(9,227 posts)He's the antithesis of everything his father stood for.
If he runs, his words will show him to be a far-right wing nut job. That will insure he takes more votes from Trump than he will from President Biden.
I expect it will be about 2 to 1 ratio.
Since most of the MAGA is anti vaccine I would expect RFK jr ticket to take more from Trump. Particularly because TSF is dying to try and take credit for the vaccine.
