    Does anyone think that RFK Jr would be any kind of spoiler? If he got as much as 0.5% of the vote in any state, I’d be floored. I mean, I guess it could be a super-close race, but I don’t think it was a given that all of RFK’s voters would turn Trump anyway.

      . 5% in a swing state is not nothing, could very much make the election in a state like Pennsylvania.

      You should make a ridiculous bet so we can all reference this later, just in case. Preferably with photos. Please.

      (I’m not hoping that would happen, but we’d have a silver lining if it did)

    RFK could not be reached for comment, but was reportedly seen in his backyard tying dozens of pigeons to a lawn chair to see if he could fly.

    This is what we’ve come to exp3ct from third party candidates. Some might have good intentions but if they any sort of momentum expect there is some sort of parasite infesting their head.

    Lololol. Does brain worm guy think that being on the ballot might draw more votes for the brain worms guy from Republicans than Democrats? Why would he think that, I wonder?

        If it’s a legitimate discontinuation the campaign has a way of shutting the whole thing down.

          I’m not saying this because I feel sorry for him but other people also have this condition and making fun of one bad person who has it hurts good people who have it.

            It’s even worse for regular people with the condition, because the next most famous guy with it is Scott Adams, the Dilbert guy.

              Who also just happens to be a MAGA shithead. Filbert was funny in the beginning, tapered off a bit as he ran thinner on material (as most all comic strips do) but I don’t bother to read it after finding out more about Adams.

                I was just sad to find out (after falling away from the funnies pages for a decade or so) that he had sided with the pointiest haired boss he could find.

        Before the election actually occurs I’m sure he’ll start throwing a tantrum over how all RFK votes should be counted as Trump votes.
