I really don't think that bird will fly.

The people voting for Kenneday are 100% deranged
kooks.

was born in 1942... meaning that they are now 82 years old ( give or take ). RFK, Jr himself is now 70 years old.

The young people today only remember JFK and his brothers via middle school history books.

RFK, jr has zero impact on them. The only people he speaks to are anti-vaxxers like himself... who were mostly with Trump and the RWNJ conspiracy idiots.

And a decreasing number of very old people that fondly remember their youth and JFK and RFK. And who are just attracted to the Kennedy name as a touchstone.

Smerconish is still a right wing hack of a "journalist". CNN is still Faux-Lite and needs to simply die.

In 1960 the voting age was 21, not 18.

If born in 1939, today that voter would be 85!!!
Older than both “Handsome Joe Biden,” and the orange, convicted embezzler and rapist.

He’s 32.

He had vaguely heard the name but it was mostly, “Who??”

And career Republican apologist and liar Castellanos thinks the “Kennedy mystique” will spill over to Trump??? When RFK Jr.’s OWN FAMILY has disavowed him? Out LOUD??

Castellanos is a party hack and a poor one at that.

Ron Brownstein is a true election and voter ANALYST.
Go with Ron.

stated Kennedy's appeal is that he is an outsider and in the next sentence claiming affiliation with the Kennedy political machine. Idiot can't have it both ways. Either his appeal is he is outside the Kennedy clan and their party politics, or he is part of the Kennedy clan and their political heritage. Which is it Alex?
