    Wow! Didn't see that as a possibility.

    "If Kennedy does decide to leave the party of his famous father and uncles to run in the general election, one potential landing spot may be the Libertarian Party, which at the moment lacks a widely known candidate but has excelled at securing ballot access.

    In July, Kennedy met privately with Angela McArdle, the chair of the Libertarian Party, at a conference they were both attending in Memphis, Tennessee — a meeting that has not previously been reported.
    ...
    In a June interview with the libertarian magazine Reason, Kennedy acknowledged his ideological disagreements with the party — including on issues like environmental protection, abortion and civil rights — while also saying, “I’ve always been aligned with libertarians on most issues.”
    ...
    Kennedy, who is perhaps best known for his conspiracy theories about the safety of vaccines, would likely become a favorite to win the Libertarian nomination, given his national name recognition.

    In the Democratic primary, Kennedy is trailing Biden by roughly 50 points, according to 538’s national polling average, and his bid against the incumbent president is not seen as competitive."

    RFK Jr may surprise a lot of people in the Dem primaries. Given the opportunity (over 1/2 of dems want someone other than Biden) I suspect he will do very well in the first three or four primaries. If he is competitive, or wins a couple, watch for a brutal assault against him by dems.

    BTW, has anyone else heard there was an assassination attempt on RFK Jr that his private security stopped? Someone pretending to be a US Marshall, armed, got very close to him.

    peace to you

    The Libertarian Party lost ballot status in NY State - thanks to ex-governor Cuomo.
    Word is that he got upset that the Working Families party considered not endorsing him.

    The new policies are explained here

    Kennedys do a lot of flirting. And more than that.
