Not The Onion: Trump Allies Hope RFK Jr. Can Deliver Midterms Boost

“Allies of President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are looking to the Make America Healthy Again movement to boost Republican prospects in next year’s midterm elections, even as some Democrats perceive Kennedy as a weakness they plan to exploit,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“MAHA leaders are set to use their agenda to shore up support for the GOP among independent voters who might otherwise be tempted to vote blue—or stay home.“

Don't think that many voters who lose their health insurance through ACA subsidies will support Republicans.

The rePUKE is a death-party cult. Zero medical care, high food prices, unaffordable housing, mass pollution, sky-high energy prices. Death cult. MAHA led by a person who looks like the 'Crypt Keeper' from the 1980s. Blue eye-dropper guy.

Trey Gowdy believes all will be fixed if people just cling more tightly to Trump and that these 1st 10 months have been the best record of any President in history…

Laura Ingrahm stated that Democrats lose by winning

And now RFK Jr. is a strategic political asset?

Wow. Just wow.

They must be confusing him with his father, or perhaps one of his uncles. How the hell is this freak supposed to be an asset? A former heroin addict with worm holes in his brain. Why would they believe he could possibly be a boon for them?

Are the Anti-Vaxxers, including many religious cults, and the Un-educated which is Trump's favorite group of voters......

I regret that some one didn't sneak his mother the morning after pill when she was pregnant with RFK Jr......
AND that the OB-GYN that delivered him, hadn't have dropped him on his head in the Delivery Room....

Let us hope this comes true. Having an open and honest discussion about Robert between Democrats and republicans can only help us. This includes among independent voters who admired Robert's work on the environment and Native American affairs in the past, but recognize he now poses a threat to public health.
