The intent of the RFK Jr. independent campaign, as an operation to support Biden and hurt Donald Trump, becomes even more obvious when you look at the recent Marist Polling [SEE HERE].
- In a three-way contest with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. running as an independent, Biden opens up a 7-point lead over Trump. 44% of registered voters support Biden. 37% back Trump, and 16% are for Kennedy.
- With Kennedy in the race, Biden’s support dips 5 percentage points among Democrats while Trump loses 10 points among Republicans.
.
As noted, since before he officially made the change, this outcome is by design. RFK Jr. is running as an independent for one specific purpose – block Trump. That’s it folks.
That’s also the reason why RFK Jr. fired his campaign manager, Dennis Kucinich, and replaced him with his daughter-in-law, a former CIA operative.
{…] “Mr. Kennedy’s new campaign manager is Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a former C.I.A. agent, memoirist and documentarian who in 2018 married Mr. Kennedy’s son, Robert F. Kennedy III.” (link) Those who do not accept things as they are, are doomed to be victims of the ‘six-ways to Sunday’ group.
Keeping in direct alignment with the agenda, Robert Kennedy Jr. announced a rather radical proposal today, he is now in favor of reparations for black Americans. The transparent intent? Cut down the growing block of Trump supporters within the black community.
NEW YORK – Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supports issuing reparations to the black community, making him the most prominent 2024 candidate to favor the controversial policy meant to atone for slavery and legal segregation.
President Biden has largely been silent on the issue, leading to frustration among the far left.
Kennedy — who ditched his Democratic primary challenge to Biden earlier this month — has spoken out in favor of issuing federal dollars to “rebuild black infrastructure” like banks and businesses, and as well as “direct redress payments or tax credits” rather than no-strings cash giveaways.
“Communities that were specifically targeted for destruction need to be specifically targeted for repair,” he states on his campaign website. (more)
I cannot force people to see it, and I would never waste energy trying to convince. I just assemble the data and accept things as they are, not as I would pretend them to be…
…. You know who else supports reparations?
RFK Jr is just a fading spot, he just does not register. I wish he’d stay with his niche is , calling out Big Pharma.
His socialist spots will continue to be revealed. He just can’t help it.
“I cannot force people to see it …”
Kennedy is a phony “independent” just like Angus King, Bernie Sanders and Kyrsten Sinema.
Jr’s roll is to help another Jr – Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. by leveraging his anti-vaccine credentials against Trump who promoted the Covid vaccine after the deep state Fauci-Birx-Pence team pushed him to do so, albeit without the Democrat mandates. Now Kennedy, Jr adds in a reparations promise to staunch the “black” vote departures from the Democrat crime gang.
From John Wilkes Booth to racist Wilson to racist FDR to the crooked Kennedy family (whose biggest legacy is the Ted Kennedy sponsored legislation that created a perpetual post 1970s influx of non-Christian, un-assimilating hordes), to marxist Obama and the current crook, the Democrat Party is one giant criminal enterprise. Menendez, Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, Robert Mueller, Weissman, Merrick, Mayorkas, Pelosi, Reid, the list of corruption is lengthy and extends well back into the 20th century.
“…staunch the “black” vote from departures…”
promise of reparations may ultimately draw more from Biden-Newsome
but as always, never trust a Kennedy with your vote or daughter…
Kennedy family – Biden Family see the similarities.
This is a win. Quasi Republican and mild democrats & independents will not like this, not the the underlying rationale for it.
I’m glad he did this. It hurts his credibility & reveals the puppet strings.
Only reveals strings if you know they exist- many around us don’t even know they exist. Sundance’s last points alludes to that “I cannot force people to see it, and I would never waste energy trying to convince. I just assemble the data and accept things as they are, not as I would pretend them to be…”
NPR… haha… its an NPR poll… hahaha
Those three letter agencies sure can be persuasive …
Reparations? Well, this should be a good thing. That will not pull any of the MAGA side folks. And I do not think that most black Americans really expect reparations. I don’t think that many of them actually want them. Like most things, this topic is pushed by the far far far Left to stay on the edge. Just like the rest of their agenda.
A Race baiter…A push for more segregation~Are we united to Prove them WRONG???
Unfortunately, when we were usurped, he was voted in because of his color…
Has one iota changed???
I predict that he’s going down the drain.
I’m in NH so I’ve got the word on the street here of the Primary Voters.
These supporters think that he’s normal and the solution to all their clearly abnormal options on the Left.
They *think* that they are reeling all this baloney in that we see going on by supporting him.
But they are about to see that he’s just as abnormal as all the rest of them…which is going to anger them because they think that he’s better than that since he left the Democrats–supposedly because he could see how bad they are – right?
BUT then he turns around and does this stuff- fully revealing that he’s fallen off the wagon already; his recovery was short-lived.
So they are going to leave and leave MAD feeling duped.
I bite my tongue and try not to say “He’s a Kennedy, I tried to tell you they are no good!!”
These people that I know, are smarter Democrats, more moderates that like his anti-vaccine talk (because they get what is going on with that).
BUT they are not interested AT ALL in this crazy talk about Reparations.. they think that this is what they are getting away from!
Decades ago when a friend alerted me to JFK Jr’s aircraft going down I responded that we needed more Dead Kennedys.
Went over like a lead balloon but I stand by the sentiment.
Total dirtbag and we shall meme him to oblivion.
If those polled were all NPR audience members, the percentage of Republican voters has to be TINY…
But the number of RINOS polled is through the roof.
Demoncrat splitter candidate. Total dirtbag.
Here’s what faux conservatives that would vote for this commie need to see:
“Kennedy subsequently addressed the comments in a 2014 post on the site EcoWatch, asserting that he “support[ed] the First Amendment.” He also said that “corporations which deliberately, purposefully, maliciously and systematically sponsor climate lies should be given the death penalty” and have their charters revoked.“
Climate change deniers who promote their beliefs should be put to death.
That sounds reasonable…
The Kennedys have been and continue to be a blight on this country.
fair analysis. wrong conclusion. this move will actually drain away dem votes from Biden to RFKjr and pull back any rep votes that were thinking to go with RFKjr. IMO whoever advised him to announce this (doesn’t matter if he wanted to do it anyway – u damn sure don’t announce it) will most likely be fired also. if it really is the spooks, like sundance claims, then they just shot themselves in the foot. Trump will bounce even higher in polls now.
It’s about election fraud and making it far easier for Dems to steal a few crucial swing states. This is how they’ll explain away Biden, an almost universally reviled presidency, winning reelection over Trump despite disastrous polling for Biden.
Phantom Stranger: “It’s about election fraud and making it far easier for Dems to steal a few crucial swing states. This is how they’ll explain away Biden, an almost universally reviled presidency, winning reelection over Trump despite disastrous polling for Biden.”
That’s my opinion too. Except that it’s likely Newsom will replace Biden before the Democrat’s 2024 summer convention. See my analysis here.
any state where he’ll hurt biden more than trump he won’t make it on the ballot.
I wonder how many blacks will only see the word REPARATIONS, and NOT read it all:
IN favor of issuing federal dollars to “rebuild black infrastructure” like banks and businesses, and as well as “direct redress payments or tax credits” rather than no-strings cash giveaways. INSTEAD OF NO-STRINGS CASH!
PAY ATTENTION: NO CASH!
What do you think “direct redress payments” are???
Same as cash. And tax credits are the equivalent of cash for those who pay a lot of taxes and therefore don’t need it.
A 21st Century update on buying/deceiving the Black vote with “40 acres and a mule..!”
What is RFKjr going to do for the families of the dead Union Army progeny? After all, don’t the Blacks owe their freedom to those who died in the Union Army fighting for Black emancipation? SO, will all of the reparations to Blacks to to the progeny of the Union Army deceased? The Blacks didn’t fight their own way out of slavery the Union Army did. So, the Black slave decedents owe the Union Army decedents’ descendants reparations. Having family who died during the Civil War in the Union Army I want my reparations.
I suppose the Jim Crow Era didn’t exist.
Junior uses
his uncle’s & his father’s name
Now he wants to use black Americans.
-Kennedy is mud: dirt/filth
The CIA wants three names on the presidential ballot. Much, much easier stealing elections in swing states from Trump with RFK Jr. on the ballot than it was in 2020, when they had to shut down the counting for several days and print ballots.
CIA kills dad and uncle. Son marries CIA agent. RFK hires her to run campaign. hmmmmmm
Wonder if she has a polka dot dress too. (yes, the security guard did RFK, not the woman in a polka dot dress, AFIK)
There were 12 shots fired at RFK and Sirhan’s. 22 only held 8 rounds. Sirhan was tackled after the first three and the remaining five went into the ceiling. Sirhan was standing five feet in front of RFK when he had been shot in the back of his head!
It’s a shame that RFK2 sold out so quickly!
I refuse to believe that RFK will pull votes from President Trump. President Trump always had way more votes than he needed, hands down. It’s the cheating that beat him in the 2020 election.
Agreed! The reparations for Blacks pledge will keep most of Republicans voting for President Trump.
I’m beginning to think you’re right SD. What a sad outcome for a man who has been running against TPTB for awhile now, esteanging h8mself from his family in the process. We shall see if that holds true as the year progresses.
What if Trump completely ignored the black vote? We didn’t elect him last time to hobnob with Kanye and release criminals.
2016 repeat
Anyone who enters as a Candidate other than the two mains is only a spoiler. See who they draw from. Christie is the same. Doesn’t want to and can’t win but there to sow seeds of doubt. Who pays. A Presidential Campaign must be funded.
Yup. Standard Democrat play: Pander to the African community by announcing free giveaways. Unfortunately, there are too many in this constituency who are more than willing to accept the “Government crack”.
Just emphasize his liberal positions and anyone with any conservative or moderate inklings will abandon him and return to Trump. Also, just a hunch, black Americans may view the reparations issue as just a scam to get their vote.
“Communities that were specifically targeted for destruction need to be specifically targeted for repair,”
Hold on, Sundance. Is he not talking about the BLM and Antifa riots? Black businesses and communities were targeted by those puppet organizations, and coordinated to serve Deep State interests.
That kind of investment would not be “reparations.” If done wisely, this would be taking back what Blackrock wants to buy at “fire sale” discounts, and it’s just the kind of move I would see Trump making.
But even if RFK, Jr. was promoting actual reparations for slavery… would that position attract the kind of Black voters who support Trump?
I think you can make the case that what RFK,Jr is proposing would attract Black Trump voters… but only because it’s doing exactly the kind of thing Trump would do for Black communities and businesses targeted by the riots.
As for his new campaign manager… former CIA employees often find their way into powerful positions, like in Twitter and Google, to continue wielding CIA influence. But some CIA employees get out in order to push back against what they’ve seen the CIA do.
I’ll need to see more evidence one way or the other to assume an opinion on which type of former CIA is now managing the campaign of someone who maintains that his uncle was assassinated because he threatened to break up the CIA and scatter it to the wind.
And yes, maybe RFK, Jr.’s statement is the public stance of a deep cover, pro-Left candidate. But we on the Right will need to unmask deep cover candidates with more than just connect-the-dots logic.
Remember, there are many freedom-loving, deep state resisting Americans who are just as confident connecting the Operation Warp Speed dots to “prove” that Trump was a deep cover–or deeply duped–candidate of the Deep State.
Telling the truth just takes courage. Figuring out what the truth is takes hard work and unrelenting integrity. We’ve all got our work cut out for us in this critical moment of history.
Troll! Here to sow discord. I’ve never heard anyone here who is a true supporter of President Trump accuse him of being a candidate of the deep state and duped no less. You are a vile TROLL!!
MAGA baby all the way. Trolls be damned.
Sorry, but I’m not a troll, and I am a Trump supporter.
I did not say that I was one of those who question whether Trump was a co-conspirator in the COVID vax hoax. I don’t blame Trump that over his first four years his estimation of who in DC was trustworthy continued to decline beyond what he deemed possible. We were all shocked. But we would still be clueless if it hadn’t been for DJT.
But I do see signs that we are being manipulated toward dissent within the ranks of those who absolutely resist the Deep State and are willing to die for freedom. And wildly casting accusations of someone being a troll only further (if unintentionally) supports those manipulative efforts.
All of us who support Trump need to also realize that there are many out there who feel exactly as we do about freedom, the Deep State, communist tactics, and global corporations aligning with government in a fascist manner—but who do not like Trump as the person to lead the fight for freedom and returning our government to its foundational ideas. Anyone familiar with our Founding Fathers’ task to wrangle a constitution appreciate that there are times when we have to figure out a way to fight alongside each other until it’s safe to fight each other again.
So let’s be slower to tap the keys, and read twice what we feel we disagree with, and make more of an effort to add to the conversation in our comments, rather than just react and vent our emotions. We all need encouragement to remain effective in this battle.
All of us who are serious about the future of freedom are stressed to the max by the amount of and complexity of the daily assaults on liberty and rule of law. So why don’t we do our venting to God, and then ask Him for wisdom, restraint, and for courage when it’s time to act.
Every point he costs trump among blacks with this he will gain him 2-4 among whites and Hispanics.
This is one of those things where he’ll likely start losing more support than he gains.
His extreme stances on things in the past and flip-flopping on them will also make him look really fake over time.
Kennedy will show us all that he is nothing more than a revamped version of his Uncle Teddy
The real question is whether people like Newsome more than Biden
Sundance, you should know that Robert Barnes called you out in his Barnes Brief on Locals today, about reparations. He’s wrong, of course, as anyone can see this line from JFK’s campaign site:
“These programs complement direct redress payments or tax credits to the descendents of the victims of Jim Crow and other victims of persecution. RFK Jr. will find ways to offer this redress that are legal, fair, and win the approval of Americans of all races.”
Sounds like reparations to me. I’ll also note that “descendants” is spelled wrong. Not a good look for the campaign web site of a candidate for President.
They can never be “fair”, and those being robbed to pay them will never approve.
Robert Barnes has another theory about this…..that as long as RFK is in the race, it is insurance that they will not remove Trump from the ballot, as this might ensure an RFK win, which the Dems don’t want…????
So they would rather have Trump than a leftist loon like RFK Jr.? I don’t think so. RFK Jr agrees with them on everything.
Force people who have never owned slaves to pay people who never were slaves; weaponizing race, anyone?
He’s a Leftist, has been all along. He has only spouted one or two ‘Conservative’ ideas and those were just smoke screens.
reparations and school loan payoffs…. bribes for the vote, then “sorry, we could not make it happen”
This may eliminate any peeling off of support for Trump in favor of RFKjr.
Sorry…..I question any poll that had Obama…er, I mean Biden leading.
I know some pretty hard core Baby-killing democrats who would vote for Biden no matter what, but I think many non-militant dems are fibbing and/or experiencing buyer’s remorse.
This will draw support from blacks who would’ve voted for Biden, not those considering voting for Trump. It’s good news.
Anyone who believes any poll should discuss it with President Hillary Clinton.
C’mon, Sundance. There is NO WAY Kennedy le petit is getting anything like 16% of the vote next year. Two percent, three tops.
Trump-leaning, disgruntled Blacks, especially men, are swayed by reparations? Really?
Yet this Marist poll says he loses 10% among Republicans. Blacks are mostly Democrat.
Who is paying Marist for the poll? Bobby’s new campaign manager’s former employer?
Never had any doubt he was a leftist toady. He certainly beguiled millions with his bullshit. Tucker should have gone at him much much harder.
But what is Tucker, really?
Nothing should be taken at face value any more.
The global balance of power is being shifted.
Sun Tzu, The Art of War, “how to win the war without fighting”, playing out right now.
A long war, waged by the same people as Sun Tzu.
And back to Tucker and everything else in media: “In every war, the first casualty is truth”.
We may be dis-illusioned now, seeing this. No longer trusting anything we see in media. That, too, would serve the purposes of those pulling the strings behind the curtain.
Hey, RFK, and you other rich white politicians….Why do you ALL believe that minorities continuously need YOU to give them free handouts rather than just get out of the way?
And you minorities that fall for this garbage- Do you like being looked at and treated like helpless bumbling fools who can’t do anything for themselves?
Sad state of affairs….and RFK, along with many others, are just taking advantage of fools. All while they continue allow the illegal importation of more. Hey minority citizens……..do you see what I see? C’mon man.
A graph of NPR/PBS poll results? What cohort will respond to a leftist propaganda organ poll? Probably almost entirely leftists.
As for the rest of this spectacle: Some suggest it is all just theater, keeping the populace occupied while the West sinks on inexorably sinking economics.
Another diversion, like Big Sports, Celebrity Worship, and all the rest of the bread and circuses.
With the events in the middle East apparently the fuze lit to complete the scuttling of the US Bloc ship.
Then, the next stage of the Plan: Western vassal nations under BRICS+, managed by totalitarian controls of Five Eyes acting as satraps.
That’s just funny. The “Conservatives” voting for RFK are doing so just because of their imagined beliefs on Kennedy’s position on the vax, and in the process, are ensuring that Biden, who will push the vax on them, gets elected.
Oh, well, stupid people should have the freedom to reap the rewards of their own stupidity.
Mrs. RFK III was represented by Mark Zaid in an NDA dispute with the CIA according to Wikileaks.
And, she worked at Twitter.
He pulls white indies and moderate dems that Trump would need (or any republican would need) to get elected. He literally has not support from lefties and non whites. Now you know why Biden ignored him.
Have to admit he had me fooled and I never considered myself foolish. I wasn’t going to vote for him, but thought he would make a good AG. Just like Barr, he would knife MAGA in the back. He revealed his cards too early, but at least he revealed them.
Truthfully I appreciate your analysis. I thought he might be worth voting for (not that I intended to vote for him) until you pointed out his stance on things, i.e. 2nd amendment rights, etc.
Reparations in Australia went down embarrassingly for the woke liberals, and conservatives won the election. Conservatives also won in New Zealand.
Reparations = racism.
I don’t think he’ll win a lot of Black support that way that he wouldn’t have had anyway. I think it’s the issue that only elitist democrats think is a winning issue.
Hard working Black people don’t trust government hand outs and don’t respect people who live on them. It’s only the elite Blacks like Obama who think it’s a good idea.
But I also agree with Sundance and others who say that RFK Jr. will take votes from Trump. This was how Clinton won with 43% after Ross Perot got in the race. Apparently the Koch brothers were behind that, and between the Koch brothers and Soros they turned Minnesota Blue. It’s also how Kentucky ended up with a democrat governor.
Peggy Tierney writes that the Koch Brothers supported the Libertarian Party, helped with the Tea Party, and support the Freedom Caucus to fracture the right so democrats would win. I don’t know if that is true or not, but that is her contention.
https://tierneyrealnewsnetwork.substack.com/p/tierneys-real-news-october-18-2023?publication_id=728707&post_id=138014306&isFreemail=true&r=hevwr
But that is what RINOs blame Trump for doing, fracturing the right. Actually I think the RINOs are fracturing the right.
The bottom line is our representatives don’t represent us. They represent themselves. Representative Republic is gone. Everything else is nonsense.
They still don’t care about this guy.
They like flashy people not guys who sound like they have a frog in there throat.
