"The extremist left is such a sad parody of everything they claim to stand for."

And that's the truth.

I don't think the Democrats can sue Kennedy as some say, he did go to Kamala's campaign and try to see if he could get a deal for a position and they blew him off from what I read in some news article. The fact that he actually attempted to go with them for an influential position like Trump had offered him....kind of makes me think they cannot sue him for backing Trump. He did make the same kind of offer evidently with Kamala...and they ignored him.

I don't think the Democrats even with the justice department in their pockets can do diddly crap to Kennedy.

Good points RM, imo this was intentional
on RFK campaign part.

Since "lawfare" is an essential part of the
DNC ticket, Biden Harris Walz, they will
sue to win, since they can not on merit.

All Kamala and the communists had to do was make a deal with Kennedy, they fell victim to their hubris. The fake news and fake polls can't help Kamala now. She should finally be ready for an interview, right? So predictable, the communist democrats and the Kamala campaign will try to play it cool and discredit this partnership but now the Trump/Vance/Kennedy ticket is too big to rig.

CHECKMATE!

I like Kennedy, I am glad he is going to get a position with Trump if Trump wins.

He went to Trump about a month ago and asked to endorse him in exchange for a cabinet position. Then a couple of weeks ago he went to Harris and offered the same deal.

Kennedy said this was blatantly false. Got proof it happened or is this just a smear on Kennedy?

At a huge rally in Glendale (Phoenix) Arizona this evening, President Trump introduced his most recent high-profile ally, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to the cheering audience. Kennedy then speaks for a few minutes, hinting at good things coming for MAGA Americans, just 5 months from now.

Having taken the time to listen to this speech, it is rather profound as it relates to American politics right now.

He is calling it all out for what it is.

Good for him.

Let's see where this goes.

Rules for thee and not for me, eh?

Say it ain't so.

He has suspended his campaign and endorsed trump.

That’s going to put a few percentage points in Trumps favor, which is pretty big given how close we’re getting to the election, and how close it has appeared recently.
Also, I find the term suspended campaign sort of odd. Like does that mean he might un-suspend it?

I suppose it’s a political word, meaning he might run again in the future for another presidential bid… Though, he made that tricky since his positioning of being third party was to push back on the big two, only to concede and endorse one.

It’s probably a technicality for leaving his name on various state ballots in some places while suspending the spending of resources. I heard roughly half of his speech and I found him to be very eloquent and intelligent.
He was introduced by Trump at a rally in Arizona, and he spoke ardently about offices of health and of chemicals in the food, as well as the corruption in the DNC and the control of neocons, big pharma and so on in both his speech and the rally.

RFKjr did it perfectly he pulled out of the battleground states and solidly backed Trump.

In the battleground states if Trump gets just that 2-4% nudge from Kennedy's endorsement might be all it takes.

I expect there will be an immediate lawsuit, but who knows how that will go.

I imagine the premise of the lawsuit will go something like this:

If you're running for president, then run for president. Don't remove yourself selectively from some states where you think you can act as a spoiler. Run everywhere, or don't run. Or run everywhere you qualified. And if you can't make 270 in EC, then what's the point of running in a handful of other states, other than to help another campaign. And is it legal for campaigns to coordinate efforts? What kind of paperwork do they need to file for that to make it legal?

I haven't seen this before, so I have no clue how the courts would respond. But they will have to weigh the possibility that Kennedy's campaign is a fluke at this point, and that he is just looking to assist another candidate, perhaps illegally.

other than a sore ass, what would the statute for this crime be?

If there was a crime with tactics like this, the DNC would end up having to plea their own case. They were the biggest obstruction to him and ballot access.

As far as him teaming up with Trump, I don’t see that much different than the countries with parliamentary elections when parties combine go form a coalition. They do that with the implicit intent to defeat one party often times.

I think it’s fair for people to weigh if RFK ever had ulterior motives prior to this. I would just hope they consider he tried to run as a Democrat, has a lot of left leaning beliefs, but ultimately got shut down by them.

Similarly story with Tulsi. It’s more about toeing the line than having diverse policy.

a reply to: CriticalStinker

If he had ulterior motives I'd think it was to win the presidency. He tried to run as a D.

Then he tried as an I.

Now he's settling for a spot under Trump where he can still possibly complete his goals which align in the spectrum of Trump's policies.

Which is pretty telling to anyone who isn't under (D)elusions.

a reply to: Mahogani

So how many Ballots will Biden still be on?

Might not matter, because Kamala got 0 votes in the primaries. 🤣

Lime vs Coconut

Do the two of them truly align though, or what is it really about?

Beating Bid.....err....Heiress.

🤣🤣 OK. Compromise integrity to get the win? Got it. I mean Vance did the same, so shouldn't be unexpected. It's about gaining power they want, not the country or people. Got it.

I bet you are super glad the left only runs for altruistic purposes, and never has their own interests in mind. Your virtue and moral compass is as impressive as any out there. You should be proud.

🤣 Hey, I don't care that he's endorsing him. I just asked why as people tried to claim they are so aligned when both people clearly state they are not aligned.

These next few months are going to be entertaining as heck with Trump, Kennedy and Vance. Who will out crazy who?

Your team literally installed a candidate no one voted fore.

While also coining the phrase; "threat to democracy."

How does hypocrisy taste?
