His father and uncle must be rolling in their graves. Not at anything RFK Jr. has done, but at what the Democrats have become. From Robert W. Malone, MD, MS, at malone.news:
It is not merely a speech; it represents the vanguard of a tidal shift
I originally wrote much of this on the plane flying to Mexico City for CPAC Mexico. At the time, I did not know the details of the anticipated Kennedy announcement. The event happened while I was in the air, and things are accelerating. However, I promised our substack readers that I would summarize my thoughts on the implications of the announcement and subsequent Kennedy appearance at the packed Arizona rally with Donald Trump.
To recap, for completeness, a video and transcript of yesterday’s historic RFK Jr. speech can be found here.
Let’s delve into the profound implications of what I believe is a significant political realignment, starting with a brief review of recent relevant historical highlights (as I see them). This event signifies more than just RFK Jr. suspending his campaign in crucial swing states.
RFK Jr. ran a campaign based on the thesis that those identifying and voting as Democrats would be interested in political candidates representing the values and policy positions of the mid-20th century Democrat party. This was partly based on confidential polling numbers obtained and shared with me. This thesis was also based on hope. A belief that the policy positions and values imparted to him by his father and former members of his uncle’s administration still resonated with today’s Democrat party members. I infer this based on personal conversations that I have had with Mr. Kennedy and on his public statements.
RFK Jr. initially referred to these theoretical Democrat voters as “Kennedy Democrats” and firmly believed that a silent Democrat party majority would find its voice in opposition to the deeply corrupted Clinton/Obama cabal. A Democrat party power elite that had captured what he believed to be the once and future political coalition and values that his Uncle and Father had once led—pre-Carter values and policies that RFK Jr. still believed in when he launched his campaign. I do not know if he still retains those beliefs in the same way after what he has experienced since announcing his campaign in Boston.
