The problem with Bernie was that nobody really took him seriously - except his supporters who were not taken seriously either. In the end he caved and bought some homes. RFKJr is a different matter all together. RFKJr's track record tells me that he is not someone that can be bought off. In addition, he is serious about this. I really believe he first went into this with the idea that as a candidate he could get some truth out there that normally would have been heavily censored. But, as his campaign is actually picking up steam and support by moderate Dems, I think that he thinks he may actually make a run out of it. Kennedy is a much stronger candidate than Bernie could ever hope to be in his dreams. Bernie didn't scare the Dem establishment - Bobby does. We shall see.
