RFK for President

[Alefroth]

Harris should start suggesting that this means Trump is offering weirdo RFK a cabinet post or other leadership position.

RFK's reputation is bad enough that Trump will either have to deny it (diluting gains from the endorsement) or accrue additional points in Weird.

VP is my speculation.

Twist!

The Harris campaign has the ready-made narrative "RFK asked us for power and we turned him down; Trump accepted him."

Coalition of crazy versus common sense….

I'm sure RFK thinks he at least has an understanding with trump if not an outright promise, whether for a prominent position in his government or for trump to advance RFK's political agenda. If trump should win or successfully steal the office, RFK will learn just how much his promises are worth. There really is a sucker born every minute.

[Alefroth]

I imagine this was always his plan from the beginning.

[waitingtoconnect]

I think the idea was to latch his dead bear cub to whichever campaign offered him the best job. Ultimately his demand from the democrats seems to have been either the candidacy for president or at minimum the Vp slot.

For his base trump was the only choice - given people like Joe Rogan also loves him and Rogan would never back Kamala.

I highly doubt he went to the democrats demanding he be the candidate for president, or even the VP choice. I'm sure he asked for a cabinet position though. When Harris' group told him that position would be face down on a table with an apple in his mouth and garnish surrounding him, he ran crying to Trump.

[Max Peck]

That would require them to talk to him. One of his beefs seems to be that they wouldn't so much as meet with him, let alone take the time tell him to go pound sand if he asked for a position.

[hepcat]

True, true.

Supreme Court rejects RFK Jr. plea to be removed from ballot in two swing states

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a long-shot bid by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who ended his independent presidential campaign, seeking his removal from the ballot in the key swing states of Wisconsin and Michigan.
...
The court did not explain its reasoning. Justice Neil Gorsuch said he would have granted Kennedy's application in the Michigan case.
...
The Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Michigan Supreme Court both ruled against Kennedy last month. Wisconsin law says that candidates who are on the ballot are only able to withdraw upon death.

In Michigan, the state court noted that Kennedy left the race too late for a change to be made, saying that he was first nominated as the Natural Law Party's candidate in April.

"Plaintiff does not explain how to unring the bell at this juncture without great harm to voting rights and the public’s interest in fair and efficient election administration," a federal judge in Michigan wrote in rejecting Kennedy's subsequent request for a restraining order.

Here's to low information anti-vaccers!

[DOS=HIGH]

I'd love to see Trump lose those states by less than the amount of RFK votes. Maybe the GOP will finally see that ranked voting isn't a bad thing. Bah, who am I kidding.
