Will RFK, Jr. Run for President Outside the Democratic Party?

Presidential pre-candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. proposed on Sept. 7 that he may decide to continue his presidential campaign outside the Democratic Party, given the brazen drive by the party leadership to ensure the primaries and convention do nothing but rubber stamp President Joe Biden’s re-election, no debate or opposition allowed.

RFK, Jr. told Forbes Newsroom broadcast: “If the DNC is going to rig it so that it is simply impossible for anybody to challenge President Biden, then I need to look at other alternatives because I can’t go back to the people who support me and to my donors.… I need to show them a road to victory.” What kind of alternative? “I don’t know exactly, because I want to see what the DNC does. I want to see if they make it a fair contest. And I’m not asking that it be 100% fair, but I’m asking that there at least be a chance that it be plausible for somebody else to win other than their chosen anointed candidate.”

RFK, Jr. might study what the Wall Street-run leadership of the Democratic Party threw at statesman Lyndon LaRouche to block him from winning the party’s nomination. Such as in the 2000 Arkansas Democratic primary, when the DNC ordered state party officials to shift LaRouche’s 22% of the vote over to Al Gore’s column, since no LaRouche delegate would ever be allowed in the convention!
