I agree with a lot of the things RFK Jr is saying, even though I’m very conservative politically. But if I ever considered voting for him, instead of Trump, he totally lost me with his VP pick. He will not be taking any votes from Trump.
I would think more of the anti vaxers voted for Trump over Biden in 2020. They are essentially the base for RFK.
Trump is talking about RFK Jr. because he is worried about him taking votes from Trump. Pretty obvious. If Trump really believed he was taking votes from Biden he would not say a word. RFK's media tour is with right wing media because the left refuses to talk to him at all. And RFK Jr.s base is vaccine conspiracy people and those against the Ukraine war, etc. Lots of those are Trump supporters as well as new voters who either never voted or have not for a while. Democrats hate him.
As long as some republican is relevant, Trump feels threatened. It goes beyond other candidates, even trying to silence Laurel Lee, and other anti-Trump republicans. It must be exhausting.
Are you saying RFK, j is a Republican? LOL. Only to a Democrat.
RFK is going to pull more from the conspiracy Trump crowd. Most Democrats aren't going to agree with him on most issues.
I live in one of the reddest of red states. A Biden vote feels pointless. I'm likely voting for RFK and against all local/state incumbents. It's basically a protest vote because the two main candidates are ineffectual.
As a Trump supporter, only thing I like about RFK, Jr. is his opposition to the coerced experimental vaccination, something which Trump also agrees with. So why would I vote with someone who I agree with on 1% of the issues when I could vote for someone I agree with on 99% of the issues?

I completely disagree. RFK Jr is very attractive to young voters (who overwhelmingly vote Democrat). He's FAR more progressive (further left) than Biden on green energy, etc. And he's better at addressing young voters' widespread concerns that they're increasingly being priced out of Biden's economy. Young voters see RFK Jr as a better left-wing alternative than Biden.

^^ this. and rfk's pick of a soros-loving leftist as VP put the kibosh on the vast majority of trump-leaners voting rfk.
