Remember a few weeks ago when RFK Jr.

[Mr.Bill]

announced he was running for president? Notice how no one in the news is talking about him since?

That's how they should have treated Trump after the escalator ride. And they still have not learned their lesson.

1. Trump gets attention everywhere on every social media and news site

People can’t quit him.

[Vdizzle]

7. Like a P.T. Barnum oddity.

2. I'm guessing he didn't exactly catch fire.

[Mr.Bill]

3. No, he hasn't.

And I don't think Trump should have either.

4. I don't think either the Orange Shitgibbon or Ron Puddingfingers are going get the nod. Mitt Romney.

9. Kemp.

11. ...he didn't catch fire

Wish he had... caught on fire

[Rebl2]

5. Exactly

6. RFK Sr

Would kick juniors ass but RFK Sr is dead because he was a good guy. Junior is an idiot, and only a dem by habit. He’s like old Catholics who were groomed to give money to the church and continue to do so. Until they die.

8. He's A 1 man cult! Who's liking the money he's making off this spiel, Somali kids die all the time!

10. Yup

12. It was hard with Trump because the moment he went down that escalator, he led in almost every poll.

He announced on 6/16/15 that he was running for president.

According to RCP, the day before his announcing, as not even a declared candidate, he was second place to Bush and only trailed by .5%. The day he announced, he overtook Bush in the polls - and a month later, led him by over 12 points.

The thing is, if RFK had surged to within 10 points of Biden after his announcing, he probably would have received more coverage - let alone if he had taken the lead over Biden.

13. He's still calling himself a Democrat, am I right?

Not many of us are doing so, I've noticed.

Besides that it's quite rude of Kennedy to launch a primary campaign against a sitting president who intends to run for a 2nd term. Maybe the American news media are having trouble finding things to say about Kennedy that would be the least bit interesting or newsworthy.
