BAD NEWS FOR 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Today Robert Kennedy Jr announced that he is running against President Joe Biden and his vice presidential choice. Three generations of Kennedys stood with President Biden on the White House steps for a St Patrick photo. So what is the problem?
I met RFK Jr when he was promoting The River Keeper project which holds that the rivers belong to the people, not mass hog farmers, among other industries. I agree. He was also promoting a book. But when I briefly came face-to-face with Kennedy, he was not only very cold to me, he was also rude and dismissive. He actually turned away from me in mid-sentence.
I also met RFK Jr’s uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy. He couldn't have been more different from his nephew. Clearly the senator’s time was far more important, yet he spent a full 15 minutes one-to-one with me. I was promoting healthcare for all Kansans.
As a result, I worked with Senator Kennedy s healthcare people to provide them with Kansans’ stories.
It is notable that Senator Kennedy was one of the nation's most powerful speakers. His charisma and dedication to our healthcare were necessary to take us toward the improvements to our nation full healthcare system.
Conversely, Robert Kennedy Jr’s voice has an unfortunate quaver so severe that it detracts from his words.
In December 2015, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was infamously photographed seated at a table with Russian President Vladimir Putin and then Lt. General Mike Flynn. This was prior to the candidates ramping up in the 2016 presidential election. With few votes compared to the others, Stein’s spoiler run lost the election for Hillary Clinton. Secretary Clinton would have been president without Stein.
With his famous surname, Robert Kennedy Jr could easily steal the 2024 election from President Biden and tragically give America it's first dictator.
