Kennedy spoke at the Libertarian Party convention in Washington as he looks to grow his base of support among Americans disaffected with the Republican and Democratic parties. He’s formed alliances with minor parties spanning the ideological spectrum to gain access to the ballot in November and the debate stage next month.
“Maybe a brain worm ate that part of my memory, but I don’t recall any part of the United States Constitution where there’s an exemption for pandemics,” Kennedy said, referencing a New York Times report that he was diagnosed more than a decade ago with a parasite that lodged in his brain.
“Neither of them upheld the Constitution when it really counted,” he said of the current and former president.
Kennedy talked publicly about pursuing the Libertarian nomination as a way to secure ballot access, which sparked controversy in the party, where some members opposed supporting a candidate who is not always in step with their limited government views. His mere presence at the convention was controversial, with some delegates attempting to bar his speech. Kennedy was not on the list of nominees from which a Libertarian presidential candidate will be selected on Saturday.
Interestingly, RFKJ and Trump will speak to the Libertarians. The "dithering and diminished" Doddering Old Fool won't. Obviously, he's neither physically nor intellectually capable... and, it's not even Memorial Day.
Kennedy's line: Neither the Former Truck Driver nor Trump "upheld the Constitution" is crucial.
That's significantly why pb won't vote for either. Trump's been talking federalism, some, lately. His position on abortion is solid Tenth Amendment stuff. He's implying federalism on contraception. But, pb suspects that it's merely a political ploy.
RFKJ won't be nominated by the Libertarian Party but pb wishes he would be. He'd be on the ballot in every state... and might force his way into the debates.
