Anyone supporting Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as a "Democratic" candidate for POTUS in '24 is in
the same category as the MAGAts: willfully ignorant self-centered political terrorists.

They don't want to build; they want to tear down.

They don't want to elect; they want to defeat.

How could a rational person who agrees with most of our long-held Democratic ideals even CONSIDER voting for a candidate who is backed by the likes of Bannon and associates with malignant trolls like Stone?

Elections are about making a choice, not making a statement. Pull your heads out, people!

1. There are no honest RFK Jr. and Williamson supporters.

There are just clueless idiots and russian bots (inadvertant and intentional)

3. I guess the maga's think these two will take enough "left" Democrat' votes.............

and when President Biden wins the primary, their supporters will vote for the GQP in the general or won't vote at all.

8. Kennedy is not left as for Marianne. she compliments Fox and no doubt she is getting money

from Republicans...one way or the other. Having looked at their dreadful chances to win in 24, they GOP have decided they need a spoiler. It won't work this time...

Stop right there. DU has these things in spades.

And what if he becomes the nominee hmm? Not that I think that will happen, but will DU honor its requirement to support the Democrat?

I can't think of a single position I would rather the Dim'Rats hold against all comers than this one. Not that it's going to matter - what with the Dim'Rat hand firmly on the controls of the Dominion Vote Tabulator of Plenty

The irony of this statement, coming from DU, should be lost on no one.

19. He's not a democrat in any sense of the word, so I can't imagine the admins are going to do much to

protect his run.

Im sensing that secretly, most of the Island Inhabitants are concerned. Sure, election night is a long ways away. But, to have a candidate already polling at 14%, this far out, does not bode well for their senile leader. Pile on the national polls that 60 percent of Dems. dont want the senile old codger to run again.

Im for one can only hope for a DUmpster-fire..

I predict this news is causing Brandon to have a Johnson moment (in other words his johnson is out of control wetting his depends nappy).  Lyin' Lyndon's moment was probably similar when he was read the tea leaves about his own declining popularity. "Hey hey, LBJ how many kids did you kill today? "  How soon we forget.

They will be all over RFK being an anti vax guy.  And the voice. Yikes.

His voice is rough, but I'll bet he can: walk up a flight of stairs without doing a face plant, run rings around Brandon on a bicycle, and I'll bet he doesn't have a steamy load of crap in his pants.

I understand he can even put on a jacket by himself just like a big boy.

There's been a poll circulating recently showing Biden in trouble against a Republican challenger
It's an NBC poll touting "rough numbers" for the president, and showing him trailing a generic Republican by 41% to 47%.

For context though, it might be worth looking back to the last time we had an incumbent Democratic president running for re-election. That would be Barack Obama of course. Let's take a look at what his numbers looked like in the summer and fall of 2011, a year or so ahead of the election...

July 2011: "Republican Candidate" Extends Lead vs. Obama to 47% to 39%.

"Independent registered voters are currently more likely to vote for the Republican candidate (44%) than for Obama (34%)."

https://news.gallup.com/poll/148487/republican-candidate-extends-lead-obama.aspx

(That poll was taken less than two months after the death of Osama bin Laden.)

October 2011: "Generic" Republican Continues to Lead Obama in 2012 Vote. Lead is 46% to 38% among registered voters.

"U.S. registered voters, by 46% to 38%, continue to say they are more likely to vote for the Republican presidential candidate than for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The generic Republican led by the same eight-percentage-point margin in September, and also held a lead in July."

https://news.gallup.com/poll/150116/generic-republican-continues-lead-obama-vote.aspx

Yet despite those terrible polls, somehow we didn't have to suffer for four years under President Romney. So allow me to state the obvious -- candidates do not run against unnamed, generic opponents.

The presidential election is essentially a three-way choice -- you can either vote for the Democrat, vote for the Republican, or you can throw your vote away (not vote, vote for a spoiler, etc.) Once Republicans have an actual named nominee, voters will be faced with an incredibly stark choice between the incumbent president or his challenger, and that choice will be reflected in future polls.

If Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee again, voters will have a choice between the incumbent president or the one-term loser that they already rejected four years ago (in favor of the current incumbent). That loser, I might add, has only become more blatantly despicable since the last election, with criminal indictments to boot.

My point is simply that there is a long, long way to go before the 2024 election, and "Biden vs. unnamed generic Republican" polls are essentially predictors of nothing.
