    What part of “Nor did I anywhere support it” do you not understand?

    1. Whether, during and within an active and competitive major party primary, the most recent average of established national polls, as reflected by the Real Clear Politics National Average or similar mechanism, the candidate is polling at 15% or more for 30 consecutive days;
    1. Whether the candidate is an independent or third-party candidate for President polling at 20% or more of the Real Clear Politics National Average for 30 consecutive days;

    As Republicans elevate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his polls sour

    Quinnipiac University released a poll Wednesday showing Republicans continue to like Kennedy — by more than a 2-to-1 margin, in fact. But among Democrats, Kennedy’s image was more than 2-to-1 negative. While 21 percent had a favorable opinion, 47 percent had an unfavorable one. That’s 26 points “underwater,up from 15 points underwater a month ago.

    And a new poll out of New Hampshire is even worse for Kennedy. The University of New Hampshire Survey Center in April showed him 22 points underwater among likely Democratic primary voters; its latest poll now shows him 60 points underwater.

    ...And notably, it comes among voters who tend to pay more attention than national voters do, by virtue of New Hampshire’s status as an early primary state.

    Just 9 percent had a favorable opinion of Kennedy, compared with 69 percent who had an unfavorable one. The survey also asked people to use one word to describe Kennedy, and the most popular words were “crazy,” “dangerous,” “insane,” “nutjob,” “conspiracy” and “crackpot.”


    That same poll still showed Kennedy pulling 10 percent in the state’s Democratic primary (compared to Biden’s 70 percent). But Kennedy was the second choice of only 4 percent of voters.


    These are not the numbers of someone who is seriously competing for the nomination. These are the numbers of someone with a distinctly low ceiling. And that’s a ceiling whose proximity to the floor has long been clear, but which some people have chosen to ignore for their own reasons.

    so then, how can you say the left is leaving him hang out to dry? Either you believe they are, or they are not? that statement sounds like you believe they are

    Do you know what wide latitude means? It means he can deny because it was a full moon when he got the application.

    You think a 67 page report means anything? Anyone can pay a company to write a report about how their life is in danger.

    Or would you prefer the secretary use actual traditional standards to aid in the decision making process?

    Like it or not, RFK JR. who trails BIden 4:1 isn't on anyone's radar.

    seems that way, this is the first time I have even heard assassination and RFK JR in the same sentence was on this thread

    I keep asking why he is more at risk than any other candidate, and no one says anything

    It isn't provided prior to the nominations. Ever.

    We don't run a government based on perceptions, hopefully.

    I sure hope so. What do we have now....the House and maybe the Scotus? You might as well count the Media as a Branch of Government as well as the FBI and IRS. The DOJ is now the Democrat headquarters.

    We'll survive this.

    Farce Upon Farce: After My Secret Service Request:
    Robert F. Kennedy

    'A tweet I sent informing people of the Biden administration’s decision to deny me Secret Service protection led to a massive outpouring of support for my safety, for which I am so very grateful. Humbled and grateful.'

    [​IMG]

    'After using government resources to censor me, and using government resources to attack me in the White House press room, the Biden administration made the unprecedented decision to deny a political opponent Secret Service protection during a campaign. Even worse, this is part of a larger pattern of politicizing and weaponizing government agencies to serve the faction in power. The DOJ, the IRS, and the FBI have all been turned into tools to harass political opponents. The denial of Secret Service protection is just the latest example. The public’s response to that has been clear, and the public’s concern and care will remain my enduring takeaway.'
    • 'Barack Obama receiving protection very early in the process, 551 days before Election Day.' Dubya has far more class than Bribed Joe
    • 'RFK Jr’s uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, received early Secret Service protection in 1972, when he wasn’t even an announced candidate.' Nixon had far more class that Bribed Biden.
    • 'In 1979, the Carter Administration provided Secret Service protection for Ted Kennedy again — 400 days before Election Day. President Nixon and Ted Kennedy were longtime political enemies. Jimmy Carter was a sitting president being challenged by someone in his own party — yet these considerations did not stop either President Nixon or Carter from having the basic decency to realize that there could be all sorts of sociopaths and others looking to be the next Kennedy assassin.' Jimmy Carter also has far more class that Bribed Biden.
    • 'Presidential candidate Jesse Jackson received protection earlier than usual, about 10 weeks before other candidates.' Ronaldus Maximus "The Great One" had far more class than Bribed Biden.
    • 'John McCain was offered protection more than 500 days before Election Day.' Bill Clinton had far more class than Bribed Biden.
    • 'both Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson received protection about a year before Election Day. Sitting administrations also approved early Secret Service protection for Reps Shirley Chisholm and Wilbur Mills, and even provided protection for the notorious segregationist Gov. George Wallace of Alabama. Same for presidential candidates Muskie, Humphrey, and McGovern, all afforded Secret Service much more than 120 days before Election Day.'
    Bribed Biden wants to preserve hit options in case RFK starts winning primaries.

    USSS advised me: “In my years with Secret Service, I haven’t seen a request declined to date.”

    This is both sad and scary. What will they not do to stay in power? I want protection from this Deep State!

    Biden wants to preserve his options.
