(1,580 posts)In fact, I argue and have argued previosly that RFK JR would take more support from Trump than from Biden. 1. RFK JR is an anti-vaxxer who has stated that the Covid vaccine has targeted certain ethnic groups. He has also come out against small pox vaccines. Being that most MAGATS ate anti-vaxxers themselves RFK would appeal to them more than Dems, particularly because Trump has been chomping at the bit to take credit for the vaccine.
2. RFK JR may have had more appeal for those younger progressives until they found out about his other views. They find out His other views don't aline with thier progressive values in other areas such as calling Palestinians "pampered" and his support for Netanyahu. It isn't just what he said about the war but his whole attitude and calling Palestinians " pampered" is simply crazy and alone with his other crazy views.
3. The only thing he has going for him is his KENNEDY name which is not going to sway Bidens coalition particularly since the whole KENNEDY family is disowning him.
