Team Trump readies attacks on RFK Jr. as spoiler anxiety grows​

Members of Donald Trump’s team are quietly preparing to go on offense against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as internal campaign polling suggests his expected third party bid could draw more votes from Trump than President Joe Biden in a general election.

With Trump allies “anxious,” as one supporter put it, his campaign and outside allies are also preparing to release an onslaught of opposition research.

“We’re gonna be dropping napalm after napalm on his head reminding the public of his very liberal views, dating back to 2012,” another Trumpworld person told Semafor. “We have a lot of stuff on him.”

While it’s not clear if it’s related, the Daily Caller published a story today dredging up Kennedy’s comments from two decades ago that “factory meat integrators are more threatening to democracy than Osama bin Laden.” The same story also mentioned his description of the NRA as a “terror group” after the 2018 Parkland shooting.

Yup.

And RFKJ will get better known & more popular as a result.

Other than Harris running against him, there is no path back to the WH for Trump.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Trumps team would be wise to focus on using RFK as a.way to GAIN more Dem voters rather than worry about losing some. Using the barriers that have been put in RFKs path by the Dem Party is a huge opportunity for Trump if played properly.

You think Trump will be out of prison in time to run against Harris?

If RFK was getting traction from the Dems, he would have stayed as one. The problem is, he isn't.

 

[okfine]

Fuck it. I'm gonna lie and say I'm voting for Kennedy now.

 

[MisterBeale]

Agreed.

The only thing those ads will serve to do, is pull voters away from Biden.



They won't do shit about the support that RFKjr. has already pulled away from Trump. Those folks don't care, they have already made up their minds.

OTH? Trump runs ads about the liberal bona fides of RFKjr. and the progressives that are already fed up with Biden's fake liberal credentials? Trump is just giving RFKjr. free ads. . . Good lord, talk about playing 4D chess on them both.

This makes the assumption that there are more mindless, "vote blue no matter who," than there are not. . .

I like my fellow conservatives in USMB. You are very smart and your analysis is often valid and strong.
But do not come here trying to criticize RFK in the future if you ever find him to be a threat to Trump, as Trump's internal poll reportedly have found.
You can't go from devotion to sudden dislike:

More popular like how DeSantis got more popular, how'd that turn out?

"mindless"

And you think, somehow, Kennedy will be nominated.

Holy Shit, you don't have a clue, do you?

 

[okfine]

Holy Shit, you don't have a clue, do you?

More than you. Do you think the same amount of shaved voters from either party will vote for Kennedy?
I don't. If so, it won't be D's or I's.

Alternative, some crazy Trump supporters (98% of whom are crazy) might get mad because they also love RFK who's crazy as fuck, turning them against Trump.

He may. .. . . might. . . . . shave a few percent from both, but. . .

.. . . primarily, I believe, he will get the, "did not vote," in the middle. He'll probably motivate a lot of folks, that just don't care about the corrupt system anymore, to maybe vote??

Do you have an example of such an insanity claim to share with us?

If doesn’t go to prison you leave this site forever. Deal? Defect.

Political Prisoners can still run for president.

We have already had two of them do it before.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

RFK Jr. is a Democrat and probably a POS. Birds of a feather...

Just because a democrat says American things, does not mean the democrat believes them.

Democrats = WEF

Don't worry about it, it is an irrelevant post. Political prisoners can still run for office while in prison.

" .. . . Debs ran for president in the 1920 election while imprisoned in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. He received 914,191[55] votes (3.4 percent),[56] a slightly smaller percentage than he had won in 1912, when he received 6 percent, the highest number of votes for a Socialist Party presidential candidate in the United States.[5][57] .. . .

". . . LaRouche began his sentence in 1989, serving it at the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota. From there he ran for Congress in 1990, seeking to represent the 10th District of Virginia, but he received less than one percent of the vote. He ran for president again in 1992 with James Bevel as his running mate, a civil rights activist who had represented the LaRouche movement in its pursuit of the Franklin child prostitution ring allegations. It was only the second-ever campaign for president from prison.[165] He received 26,334 votes, standing again as the "Economic Recovery" party.[166] For a time he shared a cell with televangelist Jim Bakker.. . .
