RFK Jr to challenge President Biden

[Richard Smith]

With Ukraine Joe's poll numbers cratering to historic lows this week and the indictments pending, you wonder how long before other Dems start to jump into the race.  If RFK can garner 19% right off the bat, almost any mainstream candidate could defeat Biden in the primary.  No incumbent has been this weak since Jimmy Carter.  The sharks are circling.  How long before Biden suddenly drops out of the race?

Come out of the basement and debate Joe.  This isn't 2020 where you can hide in the basement.

NY Post: Robert Kennedy Jr. blames CIA for JFK assassination

Democratic White House contender Robert Kennedy Jr. blames the CIA for the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy — proclaiming it “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Kennedy made the bombshell accusation about a murder that’s spun many conspiracy theories during an interview Sunday with John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “Cats Roundtable.”

“There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point,” Kennedy said of JFK’s assassination in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas.

“The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder, and in the cover-up.”

Kennedy Jr. cited James Douglas book, “JFK and the Unspeakable” as compiling the most evidence on the topic — and labeled denials of the CIA’s role as a “60 year coverup.”

After the border disaster starts to unfold this week, the Dem challengers will surge in the polls.  If even an outlier like RFK Jr. is polling at 20%, any legitimate challenger could defeat Old Joe as his poll numbers crater.  There is also widespread panic among the Deep State as Trump surges.  After his performance last night on CNN and the standing ovations from the crowd, those leftists won't allow Ukraine Joe to blow this election.  He will be given an excuse to drop out of the race.  Suddenly he will be too old or ill.

The Dems continue to fracture under Old Joe's disastrous presidency.  Dennis Kucinich has become RFK's campaign manager.  The Deep State must be getting nervous.  The time is coming for them to decide if Ukraine Joe can win or whether his campaign has to be sabotaged by a real criminal investigation into the corruption of Biden, Inc.   Sending Dirty Hunter to the big house will be a sign.

I don't think RFK is a serious threat to Biden's nomination. His views on vaccines and Ukraine likely disqualify him in the eyes of the majority of Democratic primary voters.

I welcome his participation in the primaries. And in the 60th anniversary year of the JFK assassination, it will be interesting to see if he publicly presses Biden on declassifying the rest of the JFK files.

Aside from those things, I doubt that Biden has anything to worry about in the Democratic primaries.

The real problem for Biden is his age. At 80 years old, there's a higher probability that he doesn't finish a second term. So the potential for a "President Harris" is higher in Biden's second term and there's a chance that her unpopularity could hurt Biden in the General election...

Agree and the fix is in.  Either the Dems will ensure that Biden gets the nomination, as they did with Hillary when Bernie was cleaning her clock, or they will force Biden to drop out on some pretext about his health if they don't think he can win.  Biden is a formidable candidate with the backing of leftist media and corrupt justice system.  It would be almost impossible for any opponent to overcome those powerful forces combined with the changes in the election laws such as 50 days of early voting.  The outlier result of 2020 is likely to repeat itself.  Trump is the only person in history who could even have a chance to win under those circumstances.  A Trump-Tim Scott ticket would be interesting.  I like DeSantis as well, but not sure he has the moxie to beat Trump or Biden.  More appeal to independents than Trump but he will lose the Trump base.
