Here's an idea. Say what you actually think and don't be a colossal troll.

The Fixer: Will Jeffries fight antisemitism in his caucus?
The assertion that opposing the policies of Israel is antisemitic is extremely tiresome.

I'm sorry I didn't want to do it but my god the House Republican Conference is just a disaster of epic proportions right now. This isn't me being partisan I've just never seen anything this inept.

BrentinCO: Love him or hate him, McCarthy was great at raising cash and getting it to candidates.
Which is why McCarthy had the good will within the conference to go 15 marathon ballots. Contrast with Jim Jordan's empty threats and feigned bombast. Here's a guy who likes to make a living tossing Molotov cocktails through open windows and little else and thinks that's enough to render him a power-dealing big shot. But, armed with the fact that a veritable man-child such as Matt Gaetz can spike the ball over the fence and cause all this just for the hell of it, who can blame him?

Several Democrats reached out to McCarthy about negotiating support for his speakership vote and were angrily rebuffed saying he would give them nothing AND publicly attacked and blamed Democrats for the government almost shutting down when their votes were the ones to pass the resolution to keep it open. I'm confident that if McCarthy even tried to act slightly bipartisan he would have gotten Democratic support for his speakership vote.

Some random thoughts:
1. RFK might have drawn enough Democratic primary vote here and there to embarrass Biden, which is less likely now.
2. Would never-Trump Republicans vote for RFK rather than Biden? It seems like if they supported Biden in 2020 they would be likely to do so again.
3. One way for RFK to gain in the polls would be if either Trump or Biden have some health issues before the election. I have three friends who don't like Kamala Harris for various reasons - their order of preference is Biden-RFK-Harris-Trump.
4. Would young Democrats who want a Gen X candidate prefer RFK over Biden?
5. Maybe EPU or someone else can weigh in on whether people on the left would be likely to vote for RFK.
6. I can't imagine many Republicans abandoning Trump for a quixotic RFK candidacy.

Since being Not Trump is Biden's strongest selling point, Kennedy nominally hurts Biden by also not being Trump. That said, getting on the ballot is not easy for an independent so we'll see if he does so in all the swing states.
