 I just watched RFK's speech and, unlike Trump's, it's actually coherent.

Like, the bar is pretty low in 2024, but I actually gained some respect for him.

 RFK has actual intent & meaning that he’s speaking about.  He seems honest about wanting to create a more peaceful, healthier & fairer (infinitely less corrupt!) America.

Trump is just babble & innuendo to get other empty headed & mean-spirited people to vibe with him.

It would be nice to see RFK’s numbers go up.
