I'll go further.

A wiser man than I once said:
“The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.”

Pledges of party fealty are a trap, and a distraction.
If someone said "we have to stick by Lindsey Graham or Liz Cheney because they belong to the Republican party", they're either a fool or on the take. Both have demonstrated they don't care a whit for the best interests of the people.
Same goes for a Biden, Clinton, or Obama.

At best, a "party" represents a set of guiding principles. But neither party truly follows them--instead its used as a way to lure people into cheering for their "team", while in the smokey backrooms, both "parties" make deals to enrich themselves.

I may not agree with RFKjr on some (maybe more) of his stances, but he seems to be a damn sight better than what we have now. And why in his right mind would he make a pledge, knowing full well the skullduggery his own "party" will do with superdelegates if it even looks like he is getting near the Uniparty apple cart.

I wonder if his remark is a suggestion that he might risk a third-party bid.

If a Kennedy would do that, I think he might undo a lot of damage already done by Teddy and other Kennedys.

RFK Jr. is quickly becoming Trump 2.0 in the eyes of democrats and their deep-state masters

He should have asked if he would get a house like Bernie for a pledge to support the nominee. He knows what the Dems will do if he’s beating Plugs so how would a pledge help him?

Both corrupt political parties are crumbling.

Wise move by Kennedy. It puts him is the running to be named as Trump’s running mate.

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.

I have yet to hear Kennedy disavow Deep State.

Good, I hate this “you can’t attend one of our phony biased debates” unless you declare fealty to a political party.

Hell with them.

RFK should probably announce publicly that he’s not suicidal and the brakes in his vehicle are in working order. I would fear for any individual running against the deep state. They’re not even trying to hide their authoritarianism anymore.

Elizabeth Vargas would not shut up so he could explain himself.

I believe he said that he didn’t know what he would do if he did not get the nomination.
So he won’t automatically commit to supporting the dem. party nominee. He didn’t say he would NOT support the nominee either.
Maybe the cracks in the Clinton/Obama/Biden/neoMarxist dem. party cabal are finally spreading

“I wish that we could all differ with each other without hating each other and without being venomous and poisonous toward each other,” he said.

“… so the first thing I would do if elected is begin gun confiscation so that people who disagree with me will be disarmed and completely at the mercy of me, my rogue government, and our Brownshirt BLM/Antifa shock troops.”
