Republicans may regret wanting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on North Carolina’s presidential ballot.

Kennedy swims in the same swamp as Trump. He’s an anti-vaxxer and a one-man conspiracy machine. He’s a MAGA magnet.

The Washington Post reports that polls show Kennedy “is pulling significantly more votes from Trump than Harris.”

The Post said:

“Since the Democratic ticket turned over from Biden to Harris last month, a half-dozen quality polls have tested both a Trump-Harris matchup and a crowded race that included independent and third-party candidates. In all of them, Harris performed better in the crowded race.

“She led by an average of 1.5 points in those head-to-head matchups, and 3.3 points in the crowded fields.”

Most Democratic voters who are attracted by the Kennedy name and aura will soon figure out he’s a KINO, Kennedy In Name Only.

He’s not exactly the return of JFK and RFK. He’s the Kennedy who had a worm in his brain and left a dead bear cub in Central Park.

Republicans got their wish: the brain-worm/dead-bear guy will be on the ballot in North Carolina.

But, in politics, the Law of Unintended Consequences often prevails.

It could cost Trump the state – and the election.
