    Sources say Kennedy is leaning toward endorsing former President Donald Trump, though the sources cautioned the decision is not yet finalized and could still change, with one source adding Kennedy’s hope is in part to finalize things quickly in order to try to blunt momentum from the DNC.

    Just more evidence that RFK was a spoiler candidate propped up by the same people who want Trump.

    Originally, I think the intention was to steal votes from the democrats. However, now that its clear RFK is stealing more votes from the republicans, they want to push him out to better Trump’s chances at taking the White House.

      RFK is stealing more votes from the republicans, they want to push him out

      He’s never struck me as willful enough to need pushing. I’m sure whichever russians are in charge can just tell him the operation ran its course and they’ll let him know if they need him again.

        I witnessed a number of left-leaning people who were expressing interest, although I think it was mainly driven by dissatisfaction over Biden and not knowledge of RFK Jr. His campaign was being pretty slippery about his views and policy goals.
