If he does what they claim he is going to do on Friday, which is drop out and join the Trump campaign in Arizona, that is a giant mistake. So, huge in fact, it does make you question his sanity. It would really be a tragedy, which I guess is something that family is used to.
I don't think he is actually crazy, I don't think he is stupid, and I don't think he is a horrible person, but I do think he may have an ego issue where he does not like how he has been marginalized and put out on the fringe. He's cooked as a Democrat, they are not going to welcome him back at this stage and if he joins with Trump, that's really the end of that for good.
Trump is a destroyer, he destroys all that join with him and he has no loyalty to those that join with him, he considers them temporary and to be used as he wants to use them. I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard his running mate say that the idea of joining with Trump would be to create a "unity" party. Seriously, that pretty much made me think this woman has either lost her mind or is lying. Nothing in Trump's history speaks to or demonstrates any form of unity, he is 1000% about division. He believes dividing people, setting them against one another is the path to victory. He has never wavered from that.
I find it sad because the guy was an environmental warrior, I think his intentions on the vaccine stuff were good, but he made many mistakes with that. I don't think he meant to cause harm with them, but the argument has been made that he did. And because when he had chances to repair those mistakes and did not, well, that cost him.
Honestly, I did not put Bobby Kennedy in the same space as Trump. I do think he ran a mess of a campaign. I think part of that was in response to how the Democrats treated him. Part of it was his own pretty terrible choices. If he puts himself in that space by endorsing Trump, wow, what a disaster for him.
Nothing would allow them to say they were right about what they did to him more than Bobby endorsing Trump. That is a total betrayal of what his uncle and father believed, a disgrace, and will permanently make him a pariah. I don't see a recovery from that. I don't see how that is a good idea for him.
RFK Jr. was a lifelong Democrat, has a family history, a working history, of being a part of the party. Of doing things for the country, for the people, for the environment. Yeah, he's lived an odd life in a harsh spotlight, watched his family members get murdered, struggled with addictions, gone down some bad paths. People that met him and knew him, always found him a good guy. Life can be and is messy, particularly can be messy for someone that lives through the things he did.
He's made mistakes but endorsing Trump, well, that would be a massive and likely the final one. I honestly can see no reason why he would do that. If he wants to be part of a "unity party" the Democrats are it. They have unified people from across the political spectrum. A host of Republicans spoke at their convention. They are speaking to the country, not to just a pissed off base driven by false immigration claims and some idiotic idea of what is woke.
I don't think the guy is an idiot. If he endorses Trump, he does so knowing what he is doing. He is endorsing lying, criminal behavior, sexual assault, taking rights from women, the claim that a president can kill his political rivals, consolidating power in one man with total immunity, the destruction of the justice system (his father was the goddamn Attorney General), abandoning NATO, and the sick and twisted plans the monsters behind something like Project 2025 promise for this country. He knows that. That is not reaching across the aisle, that is not in any way going to heal this country, and that is sure as hell not what his father nor uncle would tell him to do nor represents their ideals.
