He'd have to walk back many of his previously stated positions, not least regarding fracking.
"I told all of you that this guy is anti-freedom," energy expert Alex Epstein said in response to Kennedy's post. "Banning fracking would immediately plunge the US into a depression. And [Kennedy] would do it to 'solve' an amorphous 'plastics crisis.'"
"I know some conservatives who like RFK Jr but this is 100 percent disqualifying," added Isaac Orr, a policy fellow focusing on energy issues at the Center of the American Experiment. "We rightly criticize Biden for limiting oil and gas production but even he hasn’t been this vocal about banning fracking."
According to the Energy Information Administration, an estimated 2.8 billion barrels, the equivalent of 7.8 million barrels per day, of crude oil were produced directly from tight-oil resources in 2022. The drilling method of fracking is required to reach such tight-oil resources buried deep within subterranean reservoirs.
Overall, roughly 67% of all domestically-produced crude oil — which is the basis of petroleum products — is derived from tight-oil resources, the data showed.

I hear you... however the moment he suggested we should suspend the constitution was the moment he lost any vote I would have ever cast his way.
You do what you think is right.
My post had nothing to do with me, I was explaining to you what has happened in America, I was giving you a history lesson.
But since you have brought it up my #1 is Vivek Ramaswamy....My #2 is RFK jr
In 2016 it was Trump and Sanders, Trump was the last of the two standing so I voted Trump, and Sanders reputation has crashed with me because he is now a straight up Regime stooge.

Yes. Leftists are protecting their political rival. You CLEARLY realize he is a very formidable opponent so are trying to make sure it's impossible for him to run.
Why didn't they Trump justice department prosecute Hillary?
I thought about your position, so because the Trump Justice Department didn't prosecute Hillary its unfair for Trump to be prosecuted for these crimes?

I haven't got the foggiest idea. Not sure what that has to do with the fact you maggots are prosecuting your political rival. Please stop pretending it's about "no one's above the law". Even you know that's bullshit.
We are not prosecuting him, the Special Counsel is. Nobody SHOULD be above the law. For decades Trump got away with huge fraud, not anymore.
Again incorrect. Hillary was a simple example of someone that the path was far more clear and a sign of the broken system.
In NYC, in order to indict Trump, they took a "crime" for which the statute of limitations had passed, then in order to make it so they could make it fit their needs (to indict Trump) they accused him of a Federal Crime for which he has never faced any charges at all, though the Federal Prosecutors had seen the evidence they did not see a path to charges, and stretched that over it and squinted real hard...
Hillary had an unsecured email server, one which she knew was not legal, that the FBI says was hacked, that the FBI says had TS/SCI information on it. This is a direct path to the crime. One that I would have been sent to jail for. Trump's not so much.
But now we know that one party, whose name rhymes with Democratic, is willing to go any distance, squint and squish, prod and push, use it as political fodder in an election, and then fake it to make it in order to punish someone from the opposing party that they want punished.
This is your party using what used to be a trusted Justice System and selling out America's soul to punish someone that they dislike politically and see as the face of their enemies.
Trump shouldn't be charged because the charges were, well, trumped up, prodded and massaged until someone who used "I will punish him" as his battle cry in an election could punish his political enemies. We know the Rs won't do that, they might use the battle cry but they didn't sell out the Justice System in order to meet that "promise".
This AG saw the man, then fixed a crime onto him, this is not the path we take in our justice system. Any good AG can indict anyone at all if they search through and are willing to "massage" what they find to fit. This is a foulness, perpetuated on the American people by a party who cheers it on. This is how freedom dies, to the sound of cheers and applause, laughter and backslapping.
Ill have to find it but there is a list of others tried in cases like Trump is being done in NYC. Trump has appellate rights if the Prosecutor did that in a way that is not legal, that is how our system works.
If Hillary committed crimes and the Trump Justice Department failed to act, then that is on Trump not the Democrats.
No party is using the justice system, prosecutors and the a special prosecutor are prosecuting Trump. The charges are clear, not Trumped up.
This is how our justice department works, if anything Trump got away with it for FAR too long, that is the problem.... Economic crimes are prosecuted far to infrequently.
Twisting the law to charge someone politically is not how the justice system works. That is how the Democratic Party tears apart the trust Americans had in their institutional systems without regard to what is right.
Again, you and I agree, we won't vote for Trump because he suggested we should be able to suspend the constitution to "right the wrong" he had suffered when he lost. However, where we depart, where we will not agree... That is where you will twist and turn, wriggle and squirm, say or do anything to protect your party's "right" to use the power of formerly trusted government institutions to push their political will onto others while using the same to protect their own no matter the evidence.
You are now willingly participating, I find that disturbing. I will fight that, I will fight that all ways that I can and always if I can.
1) Nobody is being charged politically.
2) The Democrats are not prosecuting Trump.
3) Nobody is above the law, and Trumps Justice Department failure to Prosecute Hillary is not a good reason to let Trump get away with crimes.
Im fine with letting the NY criminal trial go, fine if you do not like the stretch... but there are plenty of other reasonable ones.
1) Bull cookies served up on a paper plate.
2) They are, the man ran on it and was elected to do it.
3) Except folks on your side, which you excuse and as I said, twist and turn, wriggle and squirm, squint and excuse so long as it continues. Letting Hillary get away with crimes is a sign of the broken system, it is not a good excuse to let the judicial system become a tool of a political party to punish their political enemies.
There was a time I thought there were more democrats that cared more about the nation than their power, but every day I am met by examples of democrats that will do or say anything to maintain a power level unsupported by constitutional limits. As I said, I find it disturbing. Even disappointing sometimes, but I will fight against in in all ways that I can and for always if I can.
1) Silly, you and Trump make shit out of whole cloth.
2) Wrong.
3) NOBODY.
4) These idiots let Hillary off the hook then use that as an excuse to let Trump off the hook.
Trumppers believe the elite, Hillary included, should be above the law. They will deny it but its clear based on their actions. You seem to agree also.
You are such a hack, you wanted Hillary prosecuted, but argue against Trump being prosecuted.
