Polling indicates that support for the black sheep of the Kennedy family is stronger than for any third party or independent candidate since Ross Perot

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks during a campaign event to announce his pick for a running mate at the Henry J. Kaiser Event Center in Oakland, Calif. on March 26.It’s too bad that during independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s naming of his vice-presidential running mate that no one confronted him about what he said about third party candidates during the 2000 election.

Now we’re looking at the possibility of a repeat as RFK Jr. does exactly what he told Mr. Nader not to do. It’s hypocrisy on stilts. What’s attracting attention is Mr. Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance and strong pro-Israel positions as opposed to his anti-corporation proposals, and he will therefore get possibly more Trump votes.

The Biden campaign is so worried about Mr. Kennedy that they have a team of staffers and consultants devoted exclusively to condemning him. They see him as a stalking horse for, citing as an example the fact that mega-donor businessman Tim Mellon has given $15-million to Mr. Trump’s campaign but more than that, $20-million, to the Kennedy campaign.

Because of his rash of conspiratorial ideas, the Trump campaign was initially concerned he might take more support away from Republicans than Democrats. But they are now convinced he’ll help them.
