Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspends 2024 campaign
and endorses Trump with a shock ploy that
could upend the election

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 8/23/2024 3:37:25 PM

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday that he was suspending his campaign - with a twist. Kennedy pushed supporters who live in 10 swing states to back Republican nominee Donald Trump, but said his name would remain on the ballots on traditional red or blue states. 'I would like everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign, I am simply suspending it,' Kennedy said in Arizona on Friday. In long-winded remarks, Kennedy said he was withdrawing from the race in swing states because, 'I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues.'

Did he say 'I quit' but 'vote for me anyway?' I'm confused.

He's wrong about a lot of things, but he's right on this. We need a coalition with sincere people of integrity on the Left to rid ourselves of these monsters currently running our government. Later we can work out honest policy differences between Left and Right as has always been the function of our Republic's government.

Election rules. If a person outright quits gets no funds and all debts are on them personally. By suspension they are officially in the race and can collect government funds for incurred debts.

I heard a great portion of his remarks. I have always considered him a bit of a nut, and only agreed with him on about 3% of issues. But today, he was compelling. And sincere. His statistics re health and disease are impeccable….. and deeply concerning. If he could help PDJT (Director of NIH, FDA commissioner? etc) he and PDJT both could make a legacy mark on the country. I like him.

#1 Bobby is staying on the ballot in blue and pure-red states. He is removing his name from the ballot in swing states for people to vote for PDT. I listened to the beginning of his speech. He had interesting comments about how more children have cognitive issues from artificial food these days than in previous generations. Bobby and PDT are both interrupters... and that is a good thing.

I don't know what to make of this. Sure bringing jr under Trump's fold could bring in more votes. But it would also bring in a buttload of never-Trump voters who still have an axe to grind and they could again muddy the waters again under Trump's second administration.

It was a very good speech and full of passion and sincerity. There is no dispute that he loves his country more than self. But I can't get over this hang-up..... He genuinely loves children, cares for their well-being, and seeks God's blessings..... Yet he is pro-abortion.

The election is already going to be "upended" as Harris sinks in the polls and will require massive cheating and poll manipulation now to go anywhere. The humiliation of being insulted by Kennedy will be tough for the democrat party to live down.

I have been reading some of the things RFK Jr. has been saying and it is the media who has been creating the impression that he is a nut. No different than what the media says about Donald Trump. The media creates an illusion because they can. When Kai Trump spoke at the convention, she was speaking because she wanted people to know who her grandfather is. The media has been such a giant in persuasion that they now have a huge ego. Not only the media but the Democrat party too. Have any of you been reading some of the things that RFK Jr. is saying about what the Democrats have been putting his campaign through since he announced that he was running?

Democrats and their party torched by a high profile Democrat. The MSM couldn't ignore it and had to say something about his reasoning. Tomorrow or the next day they'll move on, but the damage has been done. The people in his corner are not low-information voters and not fans of either DJT or the Dem Party's hard left tilt. I can't see many of them voting for the people who trashed their guy. Meanwhile Trump treated RFK with respect. Could be a game-changer.

I respect RFK Jr. which is 100% more than I can say for the Communist Duo of Harris-Walz. If I had to live under a Democrat in the WH, it would be better if it were RFK Jr. rather than ANYONE put forward by Obama, or Clinton. Joe and Jill Biden are but a footnote in history, thanks to Pelosi, Obama, and Schumer, or using the Federal gov't acronym system - "POS." After all these years, Joseph Robinette Biden has now discovered how it feels to be "Borked" by none less than his own political party, the ones who invented it, along with himself. One of the most brilliant American jurists ever to wear the robe, Judge Robert Bork, did not deserve what he got at the hands of Joe Biden and the Senate Democrats' lynch mob. History will paint a portrait of Joe Biden as a corrupt, halfwit politician, too lazy and arrogant to ever be genuinely "good" at anything, except for being a womanizing, duplicitous, bully and horrific POTUS.

At least one Democrat realizes there is something wrong with our government. Government policy reads like a Communist manifesto. Muslims scream death to America. Meanwhile Anarchists want no rules, defund the police, and no bail. Our policies are killing us. The government that makes those policies have allied itself with forces that want to destroy us. It's both parties. The globalists in both parties think Commies and Muslims make great trading partners and make policies they want. Hope everyone knows that the Communist party is no longer fielding its own candidates and is promoting their candidates from inside the Democratic party. They work from inside our government now. Meanwhile the Commies use our institutions to brainwash people to see things their way.

Trump made a purely political move that may or may not pay off. Kennedy is a flaming liberal and so are his followers. I highly doubt that they’ll switch their votes to Trump. I’m not interested in him being anywhere near a Trump Administration. It’s not just him. It’s the people he will bring with him. It’s embarrassing that people who claim to be conservatives brought the house down cheering for him. He’s just job hunting and Trump wasn’t his first choice.

Based on the lack of coverage, both TV and print, you know this is NOT good for Democrats across the board. Shows Trump has a likely coalition, can, does, reach across the aisle too. Today's Democrats are nothing close to the Democrats from 20+ years ago as they are much further to the left now and purge anyone who doesn't concur with their version of society.

Speaking with Fox News' Rachel Campos-Duffy on Saturday, O'Leary argued that the Democrats might be getting ahead of themselves.

Democrat Party pollsters are warning that they could be in trouble, as their polling has been less reliable than usual in recent elections since former President Donald Trump’s appeal is difficult to measure via surveys. President Joe Biden beat Trump “by a closer margin than a lot of the polling suggested” in 2020, creating an “oh, s***” moment for Democrat pollsters, according to a Politico report. Moreover, polls suggested that Democrats would expand their House majority, but, instead, they saw it shrink, the report added. These revelations reportedly caused five of the Democrat Party’s top polling firms, which are usually in competition with each other, to collaborate

RFK Jr. was Trump’s surprise guest at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday night after the Democrat-turned-independent endorsed Trump on the same day while making remarks in Phoenix. Kennedy ultimately announced the suspension — not the end — of his presidential campaign, urging blue state residents to vote for him while throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump in battleground states.

Country legends The Chicks were heavily panned for an awkwardly off-key performance of the National Anthem at the Democrat National Convention.

However, their performance of the Star-Spangled Banner was almost universally slammed, even by fans of the band formerly known as 'The Dixie Chicks' before dropping the d-word in 2020.

We're going to lose business," he continued. "You need to understand, a 25% increase in unrealized capital gains means, theoretically at least, if your house goes up in price, in value, the government can step in and say: give me the money,”

Democrat Party operative David Axelrod took Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Donald Trump hard. The former campaign and White House adviser to Barack Obama took to social media to air his grievances over the scion of the premier Democrat political family endorsing the Republican standard bearer. “Robert F.

Sadly RFK Jr, who made a rambling exit from the race today, proves that sometimes an apple DOES fall far from the tree…in this case, down a hill and over a cliff.” (X)

Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff is a “progressive sex symbol,” according to The Washington Post. The Post has long had a reputation as one of the Democratic Party’s most influential media propagandists. Yet this latest headline on its website takes that impression to the next level. According to opinion writer Catherine Rampell, Emhoff has earned the title of “progressive sexy symbol” because he is “secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
