It was widely perceived that in 2016, Bernie Sanders was a stronger Dem candidate than Hillary Clinton and thus would have prevailed over Donald Trump. Robert F. Kennedy presents a parallel for 2024: will Democrats strong-arm him aside in favor of Biden in the primary, and thereby secure a second term for Trump when Biden loses the general election, where Kennedy would have won?
In the 2016 primary, the Democrat party favored Hillary Clinton over the populist Bernie. Americans watched Sanders be sidelined. Many erstwhile Bernie fans became Trump-supporters in protest/disgust. It’s a thing: the Sanders-Trump voter. Even liberal Salon criticized the DNC’s defense that it had no obligation to be neutral and fair between Clinton and Sanders as “blatant proof that despite the fact that the DNC fashions itself as the party of the people it is openly and clearly an oligarchy.”
The current DNC oligarchy is ruled not by Clintons, but by the Biden family. Joe has not done the greatest job of grooming Hunter for succession: the recent White House whodunit with the mysterious devil’s dandruff has tarnished an already muddied reputation. Of course, the ignoble son is not successor to the throne: Kamala Harris waits (stashed by Dems) in the shadows, and she may be even scarier to voters than Hunter.
Yes, this was the presumed course of the Democratic party for 2024 — until, of course, the rider from clan Camelot joined the primary fray. Robert F. has a record fighting water pollution and waxes mystical about renewable energy. And in such Democrat jousting, surely the age difference — between Kennedy and Biden, but also Kennedy and Trump — would favor Kennedy as the much stronger contender for the Democrat party in the general election, even if he does (perish the thought!) question vaccine safety and challenge the DNC status quo.
On a fair playing field, Kennedy would crush Biden in the primary. (As a bonus, Kamala Harris would be concurrently ditched.) And in the general election, there is high likelihood that Kennedy could rival Donald Trump. Kennedy attracts Trump-averse conservatives who cringe at Biden; moderate/traditional Democrats resentful of Biden’s far-left ventures into toxic ideological lands; libertarians who oppose mandated jabs; centrist voters who can do math; anyone who wants a president who can walk and talk competently.
What should be nose-on-your-face clear is that even if he cannot defeat Donald Trump, Robert Kennedy is the far superior Democrat candidate to try. Yet Democrats will almost surely bend every rule, and trot out every possible devious Alinsky tactic, to topple Kennedy from the primary rather than allow him the attempt (à la Bernie). This corruption on display for American voters will push yet more erstwhile Dem (Kennedy)–supporters to the Trump camp in 2024. The “Kennedy-Trump” voter will join the “Bernie-Trump” and “Obama-Trump” voting demographic to cement Donald Trump’s victory.
The DNC is already displaying its corrupt favoritism of Biden/Harris over a Kennedy ticket. (Note the DNC panic that New Hampshire will host the first primary, where Biden may lose, rather than Biden’s favored South Carolina.) The 2024 election will thus demonstrate to Americans that the DNC would prefer to lose to Trump with Joe Biden rather than improve Democrat odds — or even win — with relative centrist Robert Kennedy.
Biden ran on a (broken) promise to unite Americans in 2020: will he repeat that lie on the 2024 campaign trail while he denigrates Christian nationalists and all who love America as MAGA domestic terrorists? Kennedy routinely stands up to the globalist agenda that Biden touts: will the DNC compel their party farther down that anti-American path rather than allow an enemy of Big Pharma like Kennedy to take the POTUS helm?
As the DNC eat their own rather than allow a Kennedy at the table, its energies are diverted away from the MAGA-hating mantra. Biden may have to repeat promises to moderate Democrats that he visibly broke after 2020, further straining his lackluster credibility. (This assumes he can keep reading the same lies off the teleprompter, ungarbled.)
It is understandable why Democrats are so furiously pushing a criminal narrative against Trump for minor transgressions, even as the glaring criminality of the Biden clan parades across Americans’ flat-screen TVs daily. The Emperor Biden has no new clothes. They are trying to win an election corruptly in court rather than lose it in crushing electoral defeat before awakening voters.
Robert Kennedy is thus an absolute nightmare for the DNC, as he hurts them whether he wins or loses. If he wins, the Biden pseudo-monarchy is over, and a New Camelot begins; if he loses, the whole world will have witnessed underhanded Democrat tactics yet again, and a visibly unhealthy Biden will be propped up to battle a comparatively (at present) healthy Donald Trump (with Kamala drooling on the sidelines).
Efforts by mainstream media to shift focus onto Republican divisions in the presidential race continue to pale: the battle between Biden and Kennedy is where the action is. By vociferously (and underhandedly) opposing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the DNC are practically guaranteeing that Donald Trump will reclaim the White House in 2024.
For Trump-supporters, “the enemy of my enemy is Kennedy”…unless he wins the Dem primary or runs as an independent, in which case all bets are off.

Great article, too bad politics has become a 24/7 preoccupation of the country.
I find it humorous that Mr. Klar feels he should advise Democrats on a presidential candidate while his Republican Party is being held hostage by the most corrupt, ignorant, and dangerous man to ever occupy the White House.
Mitch McConnell? Agreed!!!
MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny Stuff! john makes Klar’s point about never-trumpers ring true.
But, bring the popcorn, it’s a long time until the first primaries- one never knows what the DNC will do to protect itself and it’s donor class oligarchy.
California’s current uber- liberal darling governor might be poised to make a move.
In response to Mr. Klar’s question in his first paragraph: If ONLY!
Unfortunately, (???) Biden is on his way out. After years of falling asleep in meetings with foreign leaders, being incapable of reading a teleprompter, falling repeatedly, and having he and his entire family finally disclosed as the criminals & traitors they are – it will soon be ever so “tragically” revealed that his physician has “discovered” that Biden can, sadly, no longer adequately function as the POTUS for another four years. The moronic puppets at the networks, CNN, MSNBC, & PBS will wail & be near complete collapse on set. Soon thereafter, the DNC shall unveil Gavin Newsome and his running mate Michelle Obama as the pair who have, of course, surreptitiously stepped up amidst the truly sad reality that there exist no other “qualified” Americans the nation over to take the positions — and become the instantaneous frontrunners for prez & vice prez of the USA!
Almost immediately, the ignorant electorate who still cannot comprehend that the free press has long been extinct for many years in this now-collapsing, nearly third-world nation shall shriek with giddy glee like teenagers and race to the polls to vote for the man who single-handedly destroyed the most populated & wealthy state in the country and a woman who utterly deserves being handed the crown of V.P. because she is of African descent – shall both place the finishing touches on this land as they transform it thoroughly into the dystopian, 1984 NON-fiction version of the Communist nightmare they have been working toward for years.
In later years, hordes of starving, drugged-up, destitute, & utterly confused Amerikans shall wander in this wake demanding to know “How did this happen?” and explaining “We were told Communism was sublime”.
THE END.
There IS no other country to escape to.
The new Democratic party that rules today will follow Biden down the pit hole before nominating anyone else. Their goal is a New World Order that dark money from the Bidens and other countries China and Russia have invested in, and Biden is easily controlled. The old Democratic Party is either gone or taken over by them. They are now trying to pass a bill to pack the Supreme Court, if that happens, our country is gone!
I spent some of the morning watching the House Oversight Committee hearing on the weaponization of the government. It was truly embarrassing watching democrats cover for Hunters Laptop, censorship and Trump derangement syndrome. Anyone paying attention can see that the democrats will allow criminal activity in their party to retain power.
John Klar has touched on some interesting concepts. RFK is not today’s democrat though. Even if he were to get elected, how would he function as a man of honor in a totally woke, corrupt party? In the hearing on censorship this morning the D’s were trying to censor some of his testimony before he started talking. They know he would upset their New World Order and Climate Hoax so as John says, they will not allow this to happen.
Joe Manson, Senator from West Virginia is in talks with the No Labels organization to mount an independent run in 2024. Senator Joe would like nothing more than to through Biden under the bus after he screwed him on promises made if he voted for the monstrosity budget bill. That would elect Trump over Newsom from commiefornia and M. Obama who would be exposed as a fraud for various reasons known to some.
And then there’s Trump. No matter what you think of him, it quite evident that he was railroaded by the deep state, FBI and never Trumpers from day one. The current president and family are awash in money laundering, bribes and shell companies to hide as much as 100 million illegal payoffs by foreign countries. All this and no one has been arrested even before the Covid scam and all it’s crimes are mentioned. The son, Hunter involved with all sorts of crimes and still walking free as J6 rioters rot in a DC prison for walking into the capitol building after police welcomed them in, all on video.
I could be tempted to vote for RFK if he ran as an independent because just look what the democrats and woke progressives have done to the country in 2 short years. Trump deserves a 4 year term without the government agents on his back and Hillary Clinton’s campaign buying made up dirt that was proven untrue. Trump is the only person who can chase the cockroaches out of the cracks in DC and the snakes hiding in all the alphabet agencies. He deserves an opportunity to seek the revenge for what was done to him and what their trying to do to keep him from winning again. If people can’t see what has happened to bring us to this point in history, they are deaf, dumb and blind. No matter what you call yourself politically, this country can not survive as it is. The big correction is coming.
RFK Jr. proports to be a candidate that is for preserving our rights, except our 2nd Amendment rights. At a CNN Town Hall he said he was for gun control and also that if elected president an assault weapons ban came to his desk, he would sign it. Just like all the other Commiecrats he showed his true colors. He is just another poser that picks and choses which parts of the Constitution and Bill of Rights he is good with. He has just as much a warped view of the 2A as the most rabid anti-gunner. If he can’t understand that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just worthless pieces of paper if the people don’t have the means to keep those documents from being taken away from us than he is not for rights, only the rights government allows us to have. Why send a wolf when a weasel will do,
George Washington: “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens’ firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99-100 percent of them by their silence indicate they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that’s good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour.”
Yehuda Remer: “People with ARs don’t get in cattle cars”.
One major concern I have with a Kennedy Administration is: could he find any non-corrupt, non-woke Democrats to fill his administration? I doubt it. ps – don’t look here in Vermont for any prospects.
Exactly! 242,000 Vermonters voted for this corrupt administration and the current destruction of our country and state. You just can’t fix stupid or legislate it away. Thank a democrat for giving us this misery and allowing progressives to steel their party.
