Trump Would Be "Delusional" To Ignore Threat From RFK Jr

“They say he hurts Biden. I’m not sure that that’s true, and I think he probably hurts [us] both,” Trump said of Kennedy in a radio interview Monday night. “But he might hurt Biden a little bit more, you don’t know.”

Recent polling broadly shows Kennedy drawing evenly from both of the major party candidates’ 2020 supporters. And Kennedy’s significantly higher favorable ratings among Republican voters suggests he has more room to eat into Trump’s vote share than Biden’s.

“If the Trump campaign doesn’t see this as a concern, then they’re delusional,” Republican consultant Alice Stewart said. “They should be looking at this from the standpoint that they can’t afford to lose any voters — and certainly not to a third-party candidate that shares some of [Trump’s] policy ideas.”

Kennedy himself has attacked Trump for not “draining the swamp” while in office and accused him of hiring “swamp creatures” like John Bolton, who was Trump’s national security adviser.

These polls are lies. They are front run stories to legitimize stealing the election for Biden. NOBODY supports Biden at all. Nobody.

 @GrizzledE1ectionRepublicanfrom New York agreed…1wk1W

Don’t sweat any national poll. It’s the swing states that matter. National polls usually sample more democrats anyway. The base continues to grow as everything continues to fall to sh1t and eyes are opening.

For the good of humanity, Trump and RFK Jr. need to join forces in some capacity. We cannot allow Biden to win.

 @IngeniousYearlyLibertarian from Texas agreed…1wk1W

I would personally like to see RFK JR in Trump administration 2 working to dismantle big pharma's grip over our society while Trump works in areas he has expertise on. Let everyone do what they do best and we could truly see America become better than ever before.

Given the magnitude of the situation, I think unity is our best chance at ensuring we don’t end up in nuclear war.

 @L3ftyDonGreen from Iowa disagreed…1wk1W

Trump gave the military full power as wartime president.

 @ResilientSnailDemocrat from New Jersey agreed…1wk1W

RFK Jr. mostly appeals to Centrists and Libertarians, that would vote for Trump in a head-to-head with Biden.

 @KindViperPatriot from Texas agreed…1wk1W

RFK Jr. pulls more from Trump, meaning his presence in the race is detrimental to Trump’s chances at winning. This is our worst case scenario. RFK Jr. does not have a legitimate chance to win, but he has a legitimate chance to split the vote in a swing State and give the Deep State another 4 years, and quite literally, WW3.

How do accusations like not 'draining the swamp' influence your perception of a political leader's integrity and effectiveness?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

If a third-party candidate shares policies with a major contender, does it make them a valuable addition to the race or a harmful distraction?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

In what ways could the presence of a strong third-party candidate challenge your personal political beliefs or allegiance?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

Do you believe a candidate's personality or their policies should play a more significant role in how people decide their vote?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1wk1W

How does the idea of a third-party candidate potentially affecting the outcome of an election make you feel about the two-party system in the U.S.?

 @ButterflyDukeUnity from Connecticut commented…1wk1W

Who are college students more likely to vote for? Biden or Kennedy? In FL, Dems want ballot referendums on abortion and marijuana. Biden is in Tampa today. They think FL is winnable but maybe only if Kennedy isn’t on the ballot?
