I’m not surprised. The man is nuts, and his views are much more similar to Trump’s than Biden’s.

I used to listen to him on ring of fire radio, how is he nuts? It's been almost 15 years since that time

He's an anti-vaxxer that believes vaccines cause autism. He promoted the use of ivermectin to cure covid. He thinks Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates are conspiring to push vaccines on people. He blames Prozac for mass shootings. Those are enough for me to go "Nope!"

He's not anti vax. He wants mercury and shit to be replaced with safe alternatives. Toxic heavy metals really have no place in the human body.

Kennedy founded the Children's Health Defense, a prominent anti-vaccine nonprofit that has campaigned against immunizations and other public health measures like water fluoridation.

After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the group held rallies to protest restrictions aimed at stemming the spread of the virus.

It was at one of those events where Kennedy, appearing alongside vaccine opponents and others in front of the Lincoln Memorial, compared the restrictions to Nazi Germany: "Even in Hitler's Germany, you could cross the Alps to Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did."

I really don’t see how the GOP wins the next presidential election. The whole party is in shambles right now and even with Biden not being very popular I don’t see them coming together behind any one candidate. Add to that that Trump might be in prison by then, it seem like a lost cause.

Two words: Electoral College.

Biden will win the nationwide popular vote by millions of votes. But that means nothing; he could still easily lose the election. Thanks to the way the Electoral College works, the 2024 election will be decided by a few thousand votes in a small number of states (probably Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia).

Yes, the same electoral college Biden won last time. Trump is not more popular now than he was in 2020. The GOP as a whole is in much worse shape than back then. I just don’t see their path to victory.

Trump supporters have spent a lot of time getting into positions where they control where the votes go

It doesn't have to be not in shambles in order for their voters to continue voting for them. Trump being in prison by then - God willing - may even be considered a feature-not-bug for those zealots. I'm taking nothing for granted.

Not exactly surprising, given his policies.

But also, it's good that they are actually polling with him.
