Kennedy had dropped in the polls in recent weeks. He did not announce an endorsement but is expected to back Trump, according to two people with knowledge of his intentions.

    Sounds like Trump found Giuliani 2.0. I’d be willing to bet tens of dollar that this clown is going to be heavily involved in the legal maneuvering to steal the election should Trump lose in November.

    Kinna wish Harris had taken him up in his offer of endorsement for an admin spot.

    Take the little vote bump and iunno, shuffle him off to a position where he can’t do any damage? Seems like a good play.

    Instead he’ll endorse Trump. I dunno if it’ll make any kind of impact but why take a chance?

      I’ll certainly vote for her as long as the opponent is Donald, but I would be furious if she appointed a conspiracy anti-vax nutjob to any position. The country is in dire shape. The admin needs Khans instead of nepo hires.

      She would have lost a lot of credibility if she did that. I don’t think it would have been worth it.

        Hmm, good point. The opposition is literally fascism tho, they have no credibility so I’m kinda thinking fuck a high road.

          It’s less about taking the high road and more of not wanting to be associated with someone like that. A lot of people would lose respect for her if she did that. The Democrats mentality is no more negotiating with the far right. Just vote them out of relevance.

      Not suprised. His entire campaign has been as a spoiler. A fairly transparent one at that. His dad fought mobsters. He sucks up to them.

      If only his dad and uncle could see him now… so much for the kennedy legacy.

    Yeah, THAT ended his hopes. Tell me, how do you end that which never existed? Or that which could even be pretended to exist?

      Not just his money, but his campaign promo material came from the Russians as well. Almost certainly his campaign strategy as well.

            They don’t make nicknames for their opponents like a schoolyard bully. Donald has somehow tapped into the power of Homeric epithets while still being barely literate.

            Also I think Donald is the first to be as overtly racist as he is. That is the motivating factor for most of his cultists.

      He is staying on ballots on most states, except for the 10 swing states.

    As soon as the Russians realized ol’ worm-brain was hurting their main candidate rather than the Dems as planned, of course they decided to withdraw him from anywhere that matters.

    I hope his socials announce this with more photos taken on Russian streets.
