    Even without a poll, it’s common sense that he would appeal to Trump voters more. He’s an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. And don’t forget that for some reason, they love the Kennedy name. Remember how they were waiting around in Dallas for JFK Jr (and Sr, even!) to show up?

      It was actually the anti-vax thing that has me a little worried about his ability to pull some lefties, too. We’ve got that kinda crazy on our side of the aisle, too. It’s just flavored a little differently. Instead of being worried about mind-control chips or fetal tissue, the left is still hung up on unfounded worries about autism or GMOs.

        Sadly I I think you’re right. I too know quite a few people who lean left that get caught up in the whole ‘GMOs and vaccines are bad’ camp.

        Perhaps the “Joe Rogan” style of Lefty. But I wouldn’t worry about RFK Jr signs showing up outside the newly unionized Tennessee VW auto plant.

        GMOs can be worrying if they are not properly researched and regulated. As a form of capitalist control GMOs are very worrying.

      Maybe now, but JFK barely won the popular vote. Far from a republican favorite at the time.
