I've been saying this all-along. 

RFK running in some Dem Primary is meaningless... re,ember Bernie Sanders TWICE? EVEN IF THEU DID THAT, the Democrat Primary is meaningless, and the only votes that truly COUNT belong to the SuperDelegates, who will NEVER vote for Kennedy as their nominee.

So, he never had any path to the Dem Nomination, it was ALWAYS about an Indy-Spoiler run.

He's there to siphon Independent, swing, and Trump-Hater GOP voters away.. NOT to split the Dems. 
 @b2e3a57d @357cdba8 we talk about the left leaning MSM having coordinated talking points, but rarely do we talk about the right doing so. This feels like an example of that. I've seen multiple sources use very similar wording to attack RFK all in the last day or so. That's not me saying the attack is or isn't justified, just that it was non existent and some commentators on the right even supported RFK until they all got some signal not to do so anymore.

 @7c55c76e @b2e3a57d @357cdba8 I imagine defenders of the uni-party are going to behave similarly... 

Even if RFK toes the line, he is not doing it within the proscribed bounds.
