A recent poll showed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. getting 20% of the Democratic vote against President Biden.

I’ll wager that most all of the 20% who picked Kennedy know just one thing about him: He’s a “Kennedy.”

They don’t know – yet – that he’s an anti-vaccine, anti-science, conspiracy-spewing misogynist who said recently, “I’m proud that President Trump likes me.” (See links below.)

I’m reminded of what my long-time boss, Governor Jim Hunt, once told me: “Never underestimate the intelligence of voters, and never overestimate the information they have.”
