At the time I had already decided that I could never again vote for blood-soaked Hillary, the Butcher of Libya, who pressured a reluctant Obama to go far beyond the U.N. mandate and break the country with regime change, creating an ongoing festering wound out of the country that had once been the financial pillar of the African Union.
In 2020, I supported Tulsi Gabbard, who condemned Hillary as the "corrupt queen of the war-mongers."
My way of assessing who I might vote for is to first assess character. With Trump as a candidate, I never got to the point of examining his policy proposals, because he flunked my character test.
This time around, I will never vote for Joe "Penis Finger" Biden (also known as "Creepy Snuggles").
I am inclined to be cautiously hopeful about RFK's character, but it's still early and I won't be focused on the upcoming primaries for quite a while.
“Reporting” on a person’s character - be it Trump, Biden, RFK Jr. - etc. can be a bit subjective. You seem to have reflected on Trump’s Access Hollywood tape as a “No No” moment (although when asked by me specifically if his claim of “locker room talk” was your objection or if it was the “grabbing” which has been - in one case - adjudicated, i. e., E. Jean Carroll). You also “report” on Joe Biden’s “finger.” And now, upon seeing the New Republic article (and I pointed out a New York Post article) about RFK - you became “soured.” And yes, CHARACTER is very important when it comes to Leaders - in government, in business, and in “ordinary” life. However, policy - political, business, etc. - can be studied and tracked and analyzed over many years/decades. Take New Deal type economics and Trickle Down economics. Two different approaches - two different outcomes have emerged over the decades. Which economic POLICY do you believe is the best for the entire USA?
Paul,

AMEN!
So, no policy disagreements with Trump? Just “grabbing”?

Even the New York Post has published warnings about RFK Jr.’s womanizing.
I’m not acquainted with your definition of good character, but given your aversion to Trumpian “grabbing” brags…. Just sayin’
I haven't looked into it, but is womanizing not different from exploiting?
EDIT: I found this, which sours me on RFK:

And, just to add a bit of reality, John:

Paul,
Your condescending tone is not appreciated.
If you choose to believe Tara Reade, then what Joe Biden did to her ("penis finger") was worse than Trump's grabbing, because it involved penetration.

Glad you looked into it, John.
