I, too believe Kennedy is far left. I watched an interview he did where he stated his position on a lot of issues and found him to be too far left for my liking. I cannot remember who he interviewed with and I really wish I could find it. Just like Cackle Harris, I feel like he’s trying to appear more moderate in order to appeal to more voters. That’s just my opinion, though.

He was interviewed on Epoch Times and his positions were far left and if you go to his campaign website, those positions are spelled out. Definitely left of center and the only common ground I probably share is anti-vaccination. I did appreciate his Documentary: "The Real Anthony Fauci." (The system kept changing to anti-tax rather than vax.)

Anti-vax is what we want. He shouldn't head up the EPA because he's been pushing global warming for decades.

He is full-on about making corporate polluters pay to clean up their messes. A clean environment is his priority. He has been vocally AGAINST obsessing about carbon emissions—the central focus of the climate change fear-mongers. He believes in ending all government subsidies to industries (including fossil fuels) so that market forces alone dictate the costs/prices of energy, etc.. He's a radical capitalist, not a Leftist.

Yes, that was years ago. He changes his views and stances based on new information. He believes polluters are the biggest environmental hazard and he is wholly against technocratic climate change "solutions" embodied by anti-liberty autocrats like the WEF.

Changes based on new information is one thing. Changes because of running for office and needing to create a perception are another.

Time will tell.

At least RFK Jr has positions and articulates them!

Unlike the Cackler and the Coach.

I don’t trust him and don’t want him in a position where he can damage our country any further or throw a monkey wrench into Trump’s administration. We had enough issues the first term.

I agree with you, Wendy.

He offered his endorsement to KAMALA for a spot in her cabinet FIRST. She turned him down. That's how it "squares."

Now that is a lie. He never offered to endorse Kamala and immediately called it out as a lie.

Don't lie about people you don't like. I HATE that phony Trump, but I would never stoop so law as to lie about him.

Actually it seems a bit more murky than that... "members of the Kennedy campaign" confirmed to WaPo and others that he was trying to meet with Kamala to make a deal, but then the next day he posted a tweet denying that he was ever considering it.

As much as I've read about RFK and his intractable hatred of the Deepstate that assassinated his father, I doubt this story deeply.

But who knows? Could be.

Could be "his campaign" did it without asking him first. Or "members of the campaign" who wanted to undermine him. Or perhaps he really did for his own reasons, but denied after backlash. I sure don't know the guy to be able to say!

And if he doesn’t choose to drop out and endorse Trump, has he created more of a ‘Trump-like, but because of lofty principles must continue on, so vote for me because of the nobleness of my sacrifice’ perception?

If it’s true that Trump has teased a position in his administration and R.F.K., Jr. is out there saying he’s been promised a cabinet position, that’s very problematic. If R.F.K., Jr. is negotiating, offering his voters in exchange for a cabinet position and Trump doesn’t trust him for that and says, no, what then?

What if it is a matter of how to most damage Trump; as an inside obstacle or a vote splitter?

The drama has been created. Everyone is watching and waiting.
