I’m not a big fan of Nick Gillespe, but he wiped the floor with RFK Jr. here.

      Last I checked, he was at 15-20% support. But I’m guessing most of that support is from people who see the name Kennedy and haven’t looked deeper.

        He’s going to try to go through the primary to get as much attention as he can and then run independent to try to pull votes away from whoever actually wins the nomination.

        And given that writing was on the wall from the first day he announced, it’s wild to me that his support is that high, even though having done market research before you would think I’d have already fundamentally realized 15% of people will agree to pretty much anything.

      Bannon’s idea is that he splits the democratic vote making it more likely that a republican wins. That’s the only reason rfk jr is in this race, to help republicans win.
