Robert Kennedy is my first choice for President. I am curious who is a fan. I am hoping to keep the discussion focused on whether people think RFK is the best option. Please avoid comments on whether an idenpendant can or cannot win. That would be a different discussion.

    Another leftist meddling Kennedy who thinks meddling government is the answer, if only he could get it right this time.
    No thanks.
    Less government, lots less. That isn't what RKJr would do.

    Anyone who doesn’t support Trump has no objectivist viewpoint. Try this out “he who is over the target gets the most flack.”.Fake Russia Russia Russia Steele Dosier. Was an attempted take down of the duly elected PRESIDENT. Then 2 impeachments .The first was talking to Zelensky about looking into corruption. Wholly FuQ that sure deserved another attempted takedown. Corruption in Ukraine! Not a chance. Impeach impeach him.
    That was for starters . Fill in the blanks up to 34 felony convictions for a clerk filling a payment to his lawyer as a legal expense. Ignore these facts and tell me your an objectivist and believe in an individuals basic rights.

      Are you channeling President Trump's speaking style in your comments? President Trump was tried, convicted, and impeached twice on bogus charges and made-up crimes just because he was a popular Republican President. But are you suggesting a "real" objectivist should vote for Trump because of this persecution. A real objectivist would vote for a candidate based on current platform and personal integrity.

    I do not think anyone could grow the govt more than Trump and Biden. During Trumps 4 years the workforce grew 1% and the deficit went up 7.5 trillion. Do know any of RFK’s policies. He stated at the time in 2020that Trump should not have shut down the country. RFK would cut off Ukraine. Can you be specific about what new programs or which programs you think RFK wants to grow.

      Trump ran the deficit to an all-time high while mailing me checks for over $1K. I'd actually get mad when I'd get them. Even though it was my money, it just didn't make sense. No wonder we're in unchartered financial seas. He had his hands full with C19, no doubt. I found Trump to be too reactive. It mired the last part of his tenure into a big pile of goop. He needs to ignore the critics and kick some ass. They're going to get him behind bars - mark my words. May not matter at this point... His son reminds me of my son...good kid.

    is that you RFK jr?

    RFJjr is a democrat, with some good ideas
    but he still has some of biden the corrupt usurper's ideas, like paying off student loans (which is unconstitutional and violates the basic principle of fairness to everyone else)
    and his answers all seem to be more government

    no thanks, we do not need a democrat traitor is sheep's clothes

      I did not intend to get into a situation of defending RFK. I was hoping to find people who actually follow facts and know candidate’s positions. Right now student debt cannot be canceled by bankruptcy. Right now student debt cannot be refinanced to better rates and less fees. That is because these loan companies have democrats and republicans in their pocket. RFK would change these rules. He is suggesting real solutions.

        Student debt forgiveness is unforgivable. Nobody forced these young people to take these loans. They made poor choices and they should face the consequences. Is RFK actually talking about these loans? Anybody who touches that is just pandering. Because...it works.

          I am 100% against paying off these loans. But to put in perspective you have 18 years olds trying to figure out what they want to do in life. Many without parents capable of guiding them. Then you have a rigged system where it is against the law for these 22-year-olds to refinance or remove student loans through bankruptcy. I have a theory about the Dems paying off the loans. Obviously, it is pandering for votes. But I think the big push is these politically connected loan companies who know that they will not get paid by the students and so they are getting the Dems to pay them instead.

        you can thank biden the corrupt traitor for the inability of bankruptcy to stop student loans

        RJKjr is a politician

        people signed for those loans.
        the government should NOT be in the loan business, PERIOD

        and he also said he would forgive them

        i'd take him over biden, that ain't saying much

    I'm voting for him. The CDC childhood vaccine program (which is forced in many places) cost me over $1M so far and destroyed my son's life. My father would have died from over-vaccination had I not told the doctor that his paralysis was from overhyped antibodies from the vaccine adjuvants (and not that elusive stroke the doctor couldn't find). I know the science. I know the damage. And, there's only one SOB running who will even bring it up. So...RFK will get my vote unless Trump admits to making some mistakes. I like Trump. I think he's a hoot.

    I must add that RFK and I have a couple mutual friends. I haven't met him yet but I understand that he's a good guy and smart as hell. But, even people close to me are twisting themselves into pretzels to not vote for him. My closest buddy swore up and down that RFK would "take the guns". Simply not true. Doesn't matter. People are going to vote for one of the two teams that have repeatedly failed us. So be it.
