Those polling numbers are because very few people have paid attention yet and some of the older crowd of Dems recognize his name. As soon as he gets on a national stage and starts to share his idiotic takes, he is done.Feral wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 6:04 pmNo, at this point, he's running as a democrat.
...about 15 percent of Democrats say they support Kennedy, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, as opposed to 62 percent who favor Biden...,
Having him in the primaries hammering Biden constantly will likely take at least some toll.
And with groups like "No Labels" looking so intently for a way to split the democratic vote, and Fox News airing dozens of segments about Kennedy’s campaign and treating him as a serious rival to Biden, and support from former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey who has endorsed him and Elon Musk tweeting him encouragement, it wouldn't surprise me if Jr could become an attractive candidate for some interest group for the general.
If he doesn't have enough votes to win the Democratic ticket, which he definitely doesn't, then he is irrelevant. That's how our current system works. He'll grunt out a few goofball conspiracies and Dems will see that he is just as bat shit crazy as Trump. He is going to be completely exposed.
