Surely the Republicans wouldn't countenance him yet another time if he were to lose.

I'm not sure they have much choice. Remember Lara Trump is now the chief GOPper ...

This may well be what a deal with the devil looks like.

@SerendipityJane, I know you're being balanced here, but couldn't you maybe:

?

It's interesting how the Trump-in-waiting isn't one of his sons, but a daughter in law.
Marla Maples brought Tiffany up well away from Trump and gave her a normalise childhood but she returned to the fold as an adult

I could. But the demise of the US republican party doesn't fill me with existential dread. If the planet is lucky we could get a 2-4-1 deal on taking that trash out with the UK tories.

There you go, the Bright Side! Wouldn't it be luvverly! (Sorry, seem to be stuck in old British musical films at the moment.)

Would it be cynical to suggest it's all about the money?

She's liable to be disappointed if so: Trump is going to die a pauper, like his side-kick Rudy, and I really don't see any of her sibs giving her a lot of dosh.

Lara Trump is awful. I saw a dreadful video of her with her little daughter. Not doctored, she released it. The Trumps are a dysfunctional family.

Good. More awareness of Trump intending to cheat.

How come you and I can see this, but those around him don't? I am so flummoxed at the way he continues to be Don the Con, to the extent that some people even still expect he will win this election without cheating! What? Why?

RFK-lite currently making an announcement...

“Now in an honest system, I believe that I would have won the election,” RFK Jr said.
OK, we all thought he was bonkers but that statement proves it. Just because your uncle was JFK and your father was RFK, that doesn't make you a shoo in

😂

“My father and my uncle thrived in a system…open debates with fair primaries, with a regularly scheduled debate with fair primaries and with a truly independent media, untainted by government propaganda and censorship. In a system of nonpartisan courts and election boards, everything would be different,” he added.
The partisan courts are why Trump is still a viable candidate!

And there it is.
He endorses Trump.
Who cares?

He also said

"President Biden mocked Vladimir Putin's 88 percent landslide in the Russian elections ... "

Well RFK sounds fucking awful! Is he ill or does he always sound like that?

Some confusion.

The campaign of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is distancing itself from a court filing Friday that suggested that he will endorse former president Donald Trump.
“Mr. Kennedy has not endorsed President Trump,” Kennedy campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear said in a statement. “The filing was made by an attorney and not reviewed by the campaign. The filing is being updated.”
The statement came as Kennedy was speaking about the future of his campaign in Phoenix. (Washington Post just now)

.

He's not a well man (in many ways)

I guess the Kennedy curse ain't done yet.

I love, love, love the statement from RFK Jr's siblings

@BustingBaoBun

The thing is by the how many GOP candidates will have been sacrificed on the altar of his ego ?

OMG really?

Serendipity has a point there. At this point the GOP must have some 'use' for him, if only his apparent 'popularity' (and thus his 'influence') because there are already other politicians out there that would be good and viable GOP candidates.

If they tire of him or he loses whatever that influence is with the GOP, then he'll run third party. But run he will.

I think he's what we used to refer to in the '70s as an 'acid casualty'.

I feel for his family, but they need to remember that no one with any sense sees him in any way connected with the legacies of JFK and RFK. Both men had their flaws, of course, but they were both politically astute and good leaders. So was Ted, but not to the level of his brothers. I'm just glad they aren't around to see the shit coming out of RFKJr's mouth. I just really feel for his mother having to hear his shit, assuming her health is good enough for that.

I suppose if the Orange Turd doesn't win this time (fingers crossed ), he could decide (because of course it would always be his decision) that he won't run a third time: not because he'd be too old and demented but because according to him he'd already won three times already so everyone knew he wasn't a loser
