Biden's done ... RFK POTUS win? Am I dreaming
Feb 5th, 2024 at 10:18pm
 
Depending on the number of candidates, RFK might only need 34% of the votes cast or less to become POTUS.

Could it happen?

Can a younger man beat two doddering relics?

34. That may very well become the symbolic magic number in the November presidential election.

In what is shaping up to be a three-person contest between President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the question becomes: Which candidate can garner 34 percent of the popular vote or higher?]

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

RFK's apparent popularity isn't translating into votes. The most
recent Economist/YouGov poll found 1% of registered voters picking
Kennedy in a hypothetical general election, far below the 44% who
said Joe Biden,  and 43% for Donald Trump.  (20 January, 2024)

JFK was a dirty sex-addict that abused his privilege of being a President. Working the Media wouldn't get rid of him.
No. A lot of angry 'husbands' got together to hatch a much better plan that has still 'worked' better.

The Kennedy curse will always be there.
Because the Kennedys represent a corruption of the Presidency into something akin to a 'Royal Bloodline', but in a Political sense. It's a 'sex' thing.

Still, if WAR broke out, RFK might be a better choice than Nikki Haley - just because she is a woman. Sure it's sexist, but that's how America will see it with the belief that a Man can protect America more aggressively than a Female and all the other cliche's. So unless Nikki Haley operates like Ripley of Alien theme, I very much doubt she will get the nod if War is on the Agenda. Unless RFK shows to be 'weak' in that aspect, despite being male. Maybe he just wants to wroot around too and keep the Kennedy name alive in Politics. Who you know, not what you know - to be President.

These are strong words JaSin.  Could you maybe elaborate on what
you mean exactly?

I ask this because JFK is regarded as the 8th most respected
US president
after Thomas Jefferson, and ahead of Ronald Reagan.

   The now disgraced former president Bonespurs was rated  #41 LOL.
