    In general if you belong to one party and you switch to independent and you pull more voters from the opposite party, you’re out of touch.

    • Both likely. The Republicans who dislike Trump enough to vote Democrat would probably prefer RFK, as well as the republicans who dislike Trump but were gonna vote for him because they would never vote Democrat. The republicans who want to see a R president no mater what will still vote Trump no matter their thoughts on him but little is gonna change their vote. He’ll probably pull a lot of middle right voters too, middle left maybe not so much. My worry is the coalition of republicans and independents who hate trump is only growing and now they have a candidate who’s not a democrat and also not trump.

      I’d bet that he would get mostly GOP-registered votes, but they would also be the Republicans who are most likely to vote against Trump. So kinda both?

    I said this somewhere else too, but this guy reminds me of my 70 year old aunts who get all their news from clickbait articles on Facebook and who think sharing those articles with you will change your mind

    Do we think he is going to take votes away from anyone? I think the USA will need all the help it can get to keep Trump out of the white house. Trumps people look like they will never turn on him

      I think the theory is that he’ll siphon votes away from Democrats using the name Kennedy. I’m sure there will be a few. But not many.

    He’s nothing more than yet another long-respected brand name that’s currently going down the shitter.
