Agree.

And prayers up for RFK,Jr and Trump.

[JayGalt]

You mistake my intent. I was not questioning or doubting you in the sense of disbelieving you. I was checking on my own grasp of what had been said by RFK. I was hoping to find a more ringing endorsement of Trump.

I may have a suspicious mind but after checking and with your addition I still have the sense of a less than full hearted commitment to help elect DJT on RFK’s part.

I am not unhappy about the price being RFK achieving a place in Trump’s cabinet. As I said I think he has a lot to offer to America in that role.

OTOH I hear echoes of the tender woman and the snake. I read RFK as believing he is much more suited to be President than DJT and that he would not hesitate to make that happen if he could manipulate the situation. That would be a disaster with the many liberal policies he holds. DJT is no fool and I’m sure that aspect has not been lost on him and he will be on guard.

God Bless them both and our great country and Free Republic!

[frank ballenger]

Amen.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

As an aside, I notice that RFK Jr often speaks of his father and his uncle. He doesn't say uncles.

[NeverTyranny]

Did you even listen to his press conference?

My mother said RFK Jr’s wife said she would leave him if he suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump.

His wife is the actress Cheryl Hines.....he'd be better off without that twit.

I simply see the whole picture differently than you and perhaps others.

I have chose a set of beliefs in my own life because I believe they are the absolute best way to live.

Yes, I fail at living up to them, but I know it is in my own best interest to do so.

But those beliefs lead me to sacrifice my own comfort and money at times for the sake of serving my bride and kids and others.

So I see what is self-interest move toward serving and sacrificing my own life for others.

Some do not, I suppose and I’m entirely comfortable with them choosing their own path.

In either case, I wish you well.

We already saw that today. RFKJ had a truly good speech. Trump held off his Nevada gig to let RFKJ have his moment in what was a remarkable speech. But toward the end when RFKJ was talking about the issue most close to his heart, childrens health, he went on too long and with a lot of detail. Something in this field would be a good place for him.

All at once the RSBN cameras cut away to Nevada speech with Trump. Trump had waited long enough!

Sounds like Cheryl Hines has delusions of FLOTUS grandeur like Jill. She wants him to be POTUS or nothing at all.

[monkeyshine]

Interesting point.
Maybe more than one reason he does that.
No doubt he wants to get to the truth about the two assassinations. And maybe he doesn’t like the other uncle very much either. It seems his family is disappointed in him, too :-(

[paudio]

This news will suck up any highlights from the DNC. Kemala wbo?

[MayflowerMadam]

I didn’t hear a bit of self absorption in his speech.

I don’t see how he’s positioning to become POTUS

I agree that he’s a liberal, and could be very dangerous, depending on what position he might hold in a Trump administration.

As opposed to self interest, I believe his passion re his core issues is true.

[dforest]

His choice may have cost her some confidants in democrat social circles.

She probably cannot comprehend that the speech he made was from the heart and he said words that are most likely historical.

He is very hard to listen to but hard to tear yourself away from his words.

[hoagy62]

I’m just afraid that the Cheat Machine (tm) is going to be in full force and there might not be anything we can do about it.

[Pollard]

putting to rest a tumultuous independent presidential campaign.

He started as dem but you dems(msm are dems) fought it all the way with law suits

[scottinoc]

There is zero evidence from Cheryl’s latest tweet that she is pissed about him dropping out, quite the contrary. Her tweet is very positive and grateful, even asserting that the vast majority of Dems, Reps and Indies are good people who want what’s best for America. She didn’t say anything good or bad about Trump specifically. Maybe she’s one of those rare celebrities who has learned how to keep her mouth shut.

[Boardwalk]

I don’t know she was joined at the hip to Larry David and he hates Trump. It is hard for me because I love Curb! She was Larry’s wife in Curb.

[JayGalt]

Of course. I even read the transcript and posted the relevant bits. What are you getting at?
