Who Said It: Senator Bernie Sanders or Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?
RFK Jr. may be hoping to follow in the footsteps of America’s favorite populist Independent.
While establishment Democrats and media outlets are laughing up their sleeves at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential candidacy, the candidate shows no signs of backing down.
As pundits wonder and political analysts advise the Democratic Party on how to appeal to neglected swaths of the Working Class, RFK Jr. is finding a wider and wider platform for his ideals.
Some of those ideals might resonate with persuadable Democrats; some might even some familiar, with distinct echoes of another popular, nontraditional, progressive candidate and self-described Independent.
Will disaffected Bernie Sanders voters, tired of their candidate being frozen out of the Democratic Party primary process, warm to the candidacy of RFK Jr?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the two politicians apart.
