RFK Jr. endorses Trump as he ends presidential campaign
NBC ^ | 8/23/24 | Katherine Koretski and Ben Kamisar and Emma Barnett

Posted on 08/23/2024 1:18:13 PM PDT by DallasBiff

PHOENIX — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign told a Pennsylvania court that he will be endorsing former President Donald Trump, ahead of his own Friday afternoon announcement putting to rest a tumultuous independent presidential campaign.

The filing in Pennsylvania, in a lawsuit related to a legal challenge to his own ballot access in the state, said that Kennedy was withdrawing from the ballot "as a result of today's endorsement of Donald Trump for the office of President of the United States."

Every time the mass media attacks RFK Jr. they prove his exact point about their bias and propaganda.

This is beautiful.

In the briefing he gave, he said was not "ending" his campaign, he was "suspending" it. His name will still be on the ballot in several states and people can still vote for him.

That said, his speech really needs to be dissected and the truths of it extracted and shared. We also need to wait and see what transpires with Trump tonight as no one knows who his special guest is going to be.

There is much more drama to play out and folks need to sit back and wait to see what developes over the next few days before jumping to conclusions and possibly destroying whatever advantages Kennedy's move gives to Trump's campaign.

Since RFK Jr suspended his campaign, I believe that means he will still keep his SS protection.

If that is the case, a smart defensive move (I know, we’re talking Biden’s Secret Service).

Folks are jubilant about this news but I think RJK is exposing his basic self absorption. His plan is to come off the ballot in 10 states and solicit votes in other states claiming that neither Trump or Harris would be hurt. What could go wrong?
Also the idea that he is positioning himself to become President in the event of a tie is really unsavory. I fear he is trying to set up a situation that could work against Trump.
He is a dangerous liberal on many topics despite areas where his positions would be beneficial to America. RFJ is no hero. In purely self interest he threading a path that maintains the possibility of his winning the Presidency.

I have a strong sense: the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life impacted his decision and put things on perspective. (And shame on Biden for refusing the son of Bobby Kennedy secret service protection. Oh the irony and symbolism!)

I've had similar thoughts. How could RFK Jr. NOT empathize with a Presidential Candidate being shot while on the Campaign Trail? This was a defining moment.

Hoo Boy the Deep State REALLY blew it this time!

“They are exercising enormous power by ignoring it.”

They are simply advertising their lack of journalistic ethics. Everyone knows anyway, it can’t be hidden.

Question I have is is RFK just endorsing him or is he going to actively work to help get him elected.

Kennedy was drawing five percent in the polls, and all those votes will expand Trump’s lead.

I suspect those in battle ground states that supported RFK will swing to Trump or not vote. They were supporting RFK they were already pissed of with the Biden Harris record. In the deep blue or red states it makes no difference.

Your comment is all wrong in my opinion. I know that doesn’t matter to you but it does to me.

This word play is silly—Bill Clintonesque.

We all know what it means.

It is celebration time.

They don’t have to keep it a secret.

They just won’t report anything he says.

That’s big. Richard Baris took surveys of RFK Jr’s voters. He found about 60% would back Trump. About 25% would back Harris and the other 15% would not vote or would vote 3rd party. The end result is a big net pickup for Trump.

This could tip several swing states to Trump if he wasn’t going to win them already. Even 2-3 points can make a big difference.

It would be easier to keep a flying saucer landing on the White House lawn secret than to keep this secret.

Easy-peasy, already done...

The 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO incident, also known as the Washington flap, the Washington National Airport Sightings, or the Invasion of Washington, was a series of unidentified flying object reports from July 12 to July 29, 1952, over Washington, D.C.

Elite Stream Media will try to portray RFK Jr. as a nut job.

All the while the Cackling Comrade Kammy is running with Tampon Timmy.

I always assume everyone is acting in what they believe is their own self-interest.

That is how deals are made.

Trump just demonstrated The Art of the Deal again.

Kammy is finished. I smell another coup.


Perhaps you are correct... but they know it won't work, so I would guess they would try a surprise even perhaps even a globe altering event... MY GUESS? Iran and Russia attack an aircraft carrier group or a us territory us with support from Cuba and Brazil... And Pelosi will probably order it, as her only way to save democracy!! If it become inevitable that the marxists lose... they would do anything to prevent what they fear might be headed their way.

Of course they can ignore everything RFK Jr. says—but even if they just call him names it will anger his supporters and remind them why they hate the mass media.

It matters to me. I want to be wrong. I think in the health arena & the 3 letter agencies RFK would be excellent.
I worry that no one can predict how this partial suspension will go and that it will effect Trump’s chances.
I feel if RFK really cared about this country he would not play the game this way, keeping his options open and risking unintended consequences.

Simple facts.

RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump means a lot more than Big Mike, Barry and Oprah’s endorsement of Comrade Kammy.

Those stooges were just shoring up the base.

RFK Jr.’s supporters had already disavowed the Democratic base by supporting him in the first place.
