RFK JR.

[welder]

Thoughts?
I have stated previously, I am as Conservative as anyone you will ever meet. That being said, this guy does make some good points and he is absolutely not stupid. I really need to listen closely to his "pitch". I'm still a Trump supporter and don't really see that changing, however,if "whatever" happens to Trump, IMO,RFK JR is head and shoulders above any Democrat and wouldn't be a bad alternative. Not gonna argue with anyone, just looking for opinions.

[deadeer]

Come on man, its Friday, let's argue! JK.

I dont really care if our President is white, black, green, yellow, man or woman, as long as they are Republican. Lol. Just want somebody with realistic values and common sense, puts America first, and has a backbone. Oh, we already have that candidate. GO PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!

[steiny]

I've listened to quite a few RFK interviews and like his views a lot.
In my opinion he'd be a better choice than the ones we're going to have, however he's not going to get anywhere as he's not dug in deep enough with either party.
Need to somehow get a third party going with some serious money behind it.

Even if a 3rd party gets on the ballot, unless it's way better funded and backed than the 2 major ones now, I feel it's a thrown away vote. When I was younger I voted 3rd party a few times but after seeing that it got nowhere now it's a vote for the lesser of 2 evils.

Same for me.

You all do what you want, but my voting for the "lesser of two evils" for President are over.

Biden, Trump and RFK jr, all make me want to vomit and are about as worthwhile as dog sh*t IMO.

I'm finished with it.

It looks like except for some political hi-jinks the presidential candidates are decided. Up here we are voting to run a new congressman, senator and Governor. I am betting this will be an all time low turnout.

I think it will be a high turnout. The Trump haters will turn out to vote, and the former Dem Biden lovers will be out to try and help us not see another 4 years like we just had.

RFK Jr. is anti-vax and that does it for me. He has expressed some good ideas, but some of his campaign staff and advisers are close to some Russians.

Check into the connection between RFK Jr and Scott Ritter

I think he is more pro-responsible vax than anti.  I would not rely on the information and infinite wisdom of the media when forming opinions.

I don't care what anyone says or thinks, but a third party candidate will never be successful in a Presidential election.  Never has, never will.  Maybe successful in screwing it up (Ross Perot), but not going to win.

If anyone is "on the fence" about who to vote for, just pay attention to your money, or lack of.  Look at your utility bills, grocery receipts, insurance premiums, home repair materials costs, etc.  Do some research on how much taxpayer money is spent on illegal immigrants, foreign aid, LGBTQBLAHBLAHBLAH causes, etc.  I'm not saying that the President is the deciding factor, but that's where it all starts.

Exactly.

Supposedly the president cannot influence gas/diesel prices. If yoiu believe that I have some land in Florida to sell you. Look at what happened to the prices of petroleum products as soon as he said he wanted to have all electric cars by 2035.

How many realize that oil production in the US is at an all-time high? I say this rather than "the US is producing an all-time high"

The "US" isnt producing anything. Not a drop.
Private companies are producing record amounts in the US, along with record profits. The production in the US is the highest of any country in the world.

"Drill,baby,drill" is a nice sound bite, but has nothing to do with the realities of the oil and gas world.

The United States and China are the top largest consumers of oil in the world, totaling 19.1 million and 14.3 million barrels per day, respectively.Sep 18, 2023

I never did care for any of the Kennedys ...or by extension any of their kids.

If Junior did not have that name he would get zero press

This is the belief of one of my extremely liberal friends; public employee, wife is public employee.
He blames gas prices all on evil corporations making record high profits.

Meanwhile his retirement funds are no doubt invested in some oil companies.

I can't listen to the man. His voice is very distracting, and I end up not really hearing his words.

It won't matter. He will probably take equal share from both sides.

I honestly think anyone in the 40 to 60 yr range would have been a better option to steal votes. Rfk Jr is 70 and his voice makes you question his overall well being. Trump and Biden in the 80 yr range are just unbelievable to me and easy to point to and ask how many 80 yr olds are suitable to run a company much less the USA.

Next 5 yrs should be historic if nothing else.

Ok,so RFK Jr. said that Aaron Rogers and Jesse Ventura are two of his top considerations for his VP running mate.

So are we finally ready to admit that he really is a crackpot?

RFK Jr. and Jesse Ventura?

I am hearing the theme from the Twilight Zone...

He will announce later this month.
