He faces an uphill battle anyway for voting to convict Trump. Todays GOP is no place for a politician who puts principles above loyalty to Trump.
The interesting thing is he was practically begging RFK to renounce the autism claim so he could vote for him. Kennedy wouldn’t.
I won’t be remotely surprised if he is a no vote. But he’ll be yes out of committee.
And I agree that the decision not to back RFK will be the decision not to seek reelection.
But careful what you wish for, once he decides he’s not running for reelection he can vote his conscience from here on out.

Before he was bought out by Trump, most normal conservatives (as opposed to whacky conspiracy theorists) admitted he was crazy. Now, apparently he's something else.
No, many of us still think he’s nuts and possibly dangerous. I will say that his stuff about the food dyes and some of the preservatives deserve a serious conversation. I mean, why the heck are they using dyes in ibuprofen, Benadryl, etc?
I think he's wrong in some of his views. Trump has already assured people he had a long talk with RFK on vaccines before nominating him. He's been told hands off, particularly in regard to the older, standard childhood vaccines.
OTOH, RFK has some views I agree with on sugar content, high fructose corn syrup, dyes in our food and medicine, population obesity and the cost of drugs in the U.S. vs. the rest of the world.

Maybe I am mistaken but wasnt there a lot of "pushback" from the Republic's against Michelle Obama when she started a campaign to make school lunches healthier?

Lunch in the trash can is not a good use of tax dollars.

Oh, and don’t point out that the uber-processed sodium bomb Michelle wanted to replace wouldn’t survive RFKs purge either. That could be considered a microaggression

He calls processed food poison, and he wants us to stop eating poison.
Again he hasn’t talked about methods.

My kid ate broccoli from the time he could chew and still does today. What do people feed their children in your neck of the woods?

It wasn't four pieces of broccoli. It was a lot of food the government bought, served and then watched it tossed in the trash. Michelle Obama's Healthy Hunger-free Kids Act, an act that had accomplished exactly the opposite of what it claimed it would — leaving hungry, angry, disgusted kids and dumpsters full of wasted food.
It cost us $4B, with 60% of schools reporting increases in wasted food, even as the number of children eating school lunches declined.
