    In case you forgot about him, the MSM has done an "all hands on deck" job of vanishing him. His name and photos are no longer seen on TV except Fox, Newsmax, etc.
    Program producers obviously got the word: talking heads will not talk about JFK, Jr. Why? Because he might hurt their party's candidate control system.
    So this is one more effort by the MSM to control the left's thinking.

    It appears the two political parties are the ones controlling the narrative in this country.

    RFK don’t have a path to victory because DNC super delegates will not vote for RFK. With out super delegates no one can get DNC nomination.

    I can't see how the Democrat establishment could see that RFK, Jr. poses a threat their power. His poll numbers have gone down, not up since he joined the race. He's not getting any traction at all.

    The "Kennedy political legacy" is a myth. All of the younger generation got out of politics after they were elected to House seats. I guess they got bored. After they “left the grind” of House politics, their political power and stature diminished. JFK commented about powerless he felt when he had a House seat. You are just one of 435 minions who are led by the House leadership.

    One of the female in-laws was a Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, I believe. She was voted out. After Teddy died, they complained about how the family didn’t have a political leader.

    RFK, Jr. didn’t even have the backing of his family. They didn’t want him to run. I guess the problem is he's not woke enough for them.

    He would have to run third party. At least if the DNC insists on running Biden. They won't let anyone challenge him, I think. Because they know that they CANNOT under any circumstances put Biden on a debate stage.

    I do wonder, though, what will happen in the general election. He'll HAVE to debate the Republican candidate right? Any of them will tear him apart. God only knows what he'll say. It'll be fun anyhow!

    The days when buttons like this, from the 1968 primary, would energize a significant number of voters to support any Kennedy are over.

    The family name took a big hit when Teddy drove off the bridge at Chappaquiddick and disappeared for 12 hours with a dead woman in the front seat. Teddy was political toast nationally, as the 1980 primary proved, and he had to put on a good PR campaign to save himself in Massachusetts. He got married and had the Boston Globe show him helping the kids with their homework and pushing his mother around in a wheelchair.

    The younger Kennedys were not ready to pay their dues in the House of Representatives. When they stopped running for office, the political shine for them was gone.

    Watching the Tucker Carlson interview with him and he is actually pretty amazing, especially from a foreign policy angle. Very knowledgeable and seemingly honest. Also when he doesn't know something for sure he frames it as his opinion. I will never vote for anyone running as a Democrat and I've never been a Kennedy fan (except for Jackie), but if they make it impossible for Trump to run and RFK were to run third party, I might consider it.

    The DNC and the RNC are a Uniparty who oppose the interests of We The People. They are both corrupt beyond repair.

    I really don't think anybody is afraid that RFK will be a threat. The guy's a bit of kook and everyone knows it.

    If anything, I would assume the whole "fear" angle has been faked by the RFK campaign and/or by the Democrats doing it to give him a false illusion of credibility. Kind of like how the DNC supported fringe moron Trump ass kissers during last year's primaries knowing they would be easy to beat in the general.
