I can only think that the Trump campaign have ended their tie-up, because it wasn't serving them as they thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only hope that the bulk of the RFK support was crazies who just couldn't bring themselves to vote for an insurrectionist and now won't vote at all. I doubt many conspiracy theorist anti-vaxxers are going to move to Kamala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you did nearly get assassinated then having a Kennedy around the place to improve the odds of them not aiming at you next time, isn't the worst idea in the world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hard work to get through. The guy has no credibility so it’s hard to be objective when he speaks but I did try and watch it objectively as you said. It was a nothing speech.

It wasn’t a great speech, his campaign was virtually dead in recent weeks and he’s not respected by anybody apart from a small band of fans. By September people will have forgotten he was even in the race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I thought his points on children's health, the situation in Ukraine and what the Democratic Party has become in recent times were very well put and hard hitting. If anyone would like to read his speech in full it can be found at RFK jr Speech Quote Sixteen months ago, in April 2023, I launched my campaign for President of the United States. I began this journey as a Democrat. The party of my father and my uncle, the party which I pledged my own allegiance to long before I was old enough to vote. I attended my first Democratic convention at the age of six, in 1960. And back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution and of civil rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, against imperialism, and against unjust wars. We were the party of labor, of the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and corporate power. True to its name, it was the party of democracy… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this (from your link) is the sort of thing that only absolute morons believe? Quote The Ukraine war began in 2014, when U.S. agencies overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine and installed a handpicked pro-Western government. They launched a deadly civil war against ethnic Russians in Ukraine. In 2019, America walked away from a peace treaty, the Minsk Agreement, that had been negotiated between Russia and Ukraine by European nations. And then in April of 2022, we wanted the war. In April 2022, President Biden sent Boris Johnson to Ukraine to force President Zelenskyy to tear up a peace agreement that he and the Russians had already signed. The Russians were withdrawing troops from Kiev, Donbas, and Luhansk. And that peace agreement would have brought peace to the region and would have allowed Donbas and Luhansk to remain part of Ukraine It's proper brain-worm fueled, deranged idiocy.
