RFK Running as an Independent

LONG READ.....I came away "blown" because a televised interview with him was rich with history and ran the entire spectrum from Cuba/Bay of Pigs, Vietnam,Nixon, CIA the two assassinations ,,Ukraine, Putin,,Russia/ China and his views on present POTUS. It was a VERY cohesive and a calm discussion.

I did a very short skim and it looks interesting. I’ll give it a read and review when it get time.

As expected RFK, Jr. has announced as an independent candidate for the Presidency. Now the work begins. Every state has its own requirements to have one's name placed on the ballot. In Colorado, running as an independent requires 12,000 signatures of Colorado voters, by July, 2024. Kennedy is going to need a strong group in each state to meet the requirements.
I still think that he will align with an existing minor party, Libertarian, for example, that has a signature gathering structure in place.
Good luck!

Colorado makes it very easy to get on the presidential ballot and I applaud the state for that. Oklahoma? The parties combine to pretty much eliminate anyone but Republicans and Democrats.

I agree that Colorado has an easier path than most states, 12,000 signatures does not seem insurmountable but the ground pounders have to be there to garner the signatures and that's the rub. By the way WY requires only 4,025 signatures to get on the ballot, but I can see RFK, Jr. skipping that state as unwinnable .

Anyone who claims to be a conservative but wants to take out Trump would get plenty of money to run a campaign. Lincoln Project losers and the like would surely rally the moderate weaklings even if they knew he didn’t have a chance to win… he would only have to siphon off enough votes to hurt Trump. Heck, he’d probably get money from Democrats as well.

I still think Trump’s greatest threat is a bullet meant for his head.

I was right again, and now that threat will be much more difficult for leftist maniacs to pull off. If you want to take out the king, you better not miss.

RFK Jr and Trump spoke for about an hour last week.

And the Kennedy scion will be on the Libertarian ballot in Colorado. Maybe.

Do you think Biden will finally give RFK a Secret Service detail? I'm betting he does. At least Biden didn't talk about putting RFK in the "bullseye".

Biden will be forced to assign SS to Jr. And beef up Trump's. The assassination attempt will give Biden an excuse to attend fewer rallies.

Noticed the top Democrat politicians are finding excuses to not attend campaign functions with Joe. One is going salmon fishing instead.
