Hi Dave, Do you agree that Republicans fell in line with Trump or were ostracized like Mitt and Liz? They were intimidated by Trump. Well I don’t think RFKJR will do anything like that, but once he gets elected by the majority of Americans he will gain the respect and understanding from politicians on both sides of the isle.One of his greatest strengths is working with people that don’t agree with him. So says his wife, and she had to be talked into supporting his run.

John, you failed to tell me what RFKJR might accomplish. Your conjecture that he might gain widespread support has no foundation. Its a pipedream

Dave, I don’t know how widespread his support really is.He is getting on the ballot in difficult states like Texas where he obtained over 200 thousand signatures.Doesn’t that point to a lot of support?I have been helping out with petition signatures here in Maine. The people I’ve met are volunteers like me and very enthusiastic about him.I’m an average hard working American. I’m not a scholar but I do pay attention.And RFKJR has got me excited for the first time about really getting our country back on track for us , not the corporations.I believe he was meant to do this.

John, if you aren’t aware of how widespread his support might be, you may want to use “percentage of support from likely voters” and compare that with Trump’s. It will tell you immediately that RFKJR is a pipedream

You still haven’t explained policies you believe he could implement to get us back on some different track

What track is he on? Certainly not a scientific one. Are you an anti- vaccer?

Hi Dave, I’m glad you are respectful in your objections because I got some nasty insults from TCinLA.The policy of stopping corporate capture of our federal agencies is at the top of my list.He has successfully sued many government agencies , so he understands how they are set up and how he can unravel the tangled web of corporate control.He says he will make the drug companies report findings on vaccine risks and remove title 230 immunity protection from internet platforms to name some other policies.What do you mean when you claim he isn’t science based?Are you familiar with Doctor Peter McCullough?He and many others have raised safety concerns about the Covid vaccines.Biden has censored those who publicly criticized his vaccine policy.

I am an “in kind” commenter. If the discussion remains civil, I can get my points across civilly. Each of us has a modus operendi. I understand TC’s but go about my business in way I am comfortable with

Regarding Corporate Control, Biden is addressing, successfully, Corporate price fixing for drugs and other monopolies Important results in place. Biden already has the support he needs, to accomplish that which you say RFKJR might address. You are trading a known accomplishment for the mere possibility of one

Government agencies are staffed by experts in their fields. You can choose to trust that these agencies exist for our benefit. FDA, EPA, DOT et al. Suing those agencies is easy. No skills required. Our courts have become a tangle of incomprehensible legalese with minutia as its life blood

Re vaccines, Covid was rampant, then comes the vaccines. Covid is now well under control. Many safety concerns from anti-vaccers are belied by the fact, demonstrated fact that they work. Biden made that happen, RFKJR would have us stuck in 2020. How has Biden censored those studies?

I think that support for RFKJR needs to be based on pragmatic evaluation of the minuscule potential that he carries to accomplish any goals as a president. In the meantime, his presence is a blessing for Trump, and a disaster for Democracy

You say President Biden has already addressed price fixing of drugs . He has drastically reduced the price of insulin which is a start, but what are the other things to reduce price fixing he has done? Is it possible he did that with insulin to appease some complaints but hasn’t done enough?Did you know that 50 percent of the NIH budget comes from big pharmaceutical, the industry it’s supposed to be regulating?Im skeptical about the effectiveness of the Covid vaccines. What is the proof they work? Dr McCullough says a natural deterioration of the lethality occurred over time as the virus mutated, and herd immunity gradually overwhelmed it.There are many studies supporting what you say and also those supporting risks that Fauci claims are not true. Have you read RFKJR’s book about Fauci?I need to read that.If you look up Doctor McCullough he explains some of the censorship.I understand that democrats are afraid Trump will be re-elected and are trying to unite under President Biden.I’m an independent .I believe Bobby is more likely to defeat Trump with his vision for us.President Biden is supported be a very corrupt DNC.I will stand against him.Many of you say I’m narcissistic and not putting our democracy first.I believe Bobby will do much more for average Americans than President Biden will do.

Thank you for the discussion. I won’t responding back based on your entrenched position so as not to give you any further exposure on this Substack
