RFK, jr. is stating that he supports banning men/trans-whatevers from women's sports.
So, the knee jerk reaction is to shrug and say "well, what-evah, he is going to be a pain to Biden but he is not going to get the nomination. I agree with that.
And in the past, when the inevitable "Trump may run 3rd party" discussions have come up, I have dismissed that because it takes too much work to get on the ballot and splits the vote that he needs, etc. So I stand by that.
However, just to open my kimino a bit, I will say that the dems need to worry about RFK going third party. Not saying it will happen, just that it cannot be ruled out and he is carving out some issues that would position him for that.
Now, the astute ones here will argue that this runs against my statements that it takes too much work to get on the ballot and it requires early and persistent groundwork to get there. You can't come in at the last minute. True dat. Still true.
What needs to be watched is the so-called No-Labels Party that is and has been already at work to get a non-partisan party on the ballot and then find a candidate to go with it. I haven't followed it close enough but if they are already in motion to get a party on ballots and are in search of a candidate........well......just sayin......dems should be watching that. RFK is already at 20% If he got to - say- 40%, I doubt that he is just going to concede and go gently into the night- if he can avoid it. And there are lots of hurdles. Just saying, IF he can avoid it. One can argue that every dem and family member on the planet would be pissed at him, but I think he is already there on that and has digested it.
Watch out dems. Odds are in your favor bigtime that this will not happen. But the odds are in your favor too when you play Russian roulette with just one round in the chamber. Something I would still not want to be confronted with.
Anyway, RFK announcing that he is a "no" on Chicks with Dicks in women's sports. Viewers can decide for themselves if there are many other dems who agree with him on this.
