    @LuFins-Dad said in RFK?:

    The way he couched this… Not withdrawing from the race, still going on the ballots in solid blue and red states, but withdrawing from the purple is going to confuse the hell out of the polling.

    I heard one political commentator explain it like this...He thought that Trump and RFK cut the deal, allowing RFK to save as much face as possible, while still allowing Trump a positive outcome. The Trump Campaign is hoping for 60-65% of the RFK vote in the purple states where RFK currently has about 5% in the polls.

    Their math is off. They need that 65% but they also Kamala to pick up less than 20% of the balance.

        So maybe they'll name a cocktail after Mr. Trump.

          Everyone suspends their campaign rather than ends it. It gives you more flexibility as to what to do with your remaining funds per FEC rules, from what I understand.

              Nah, not even close.

              Vance is a legacy pick for Trump. I'm still pretty high on the pick, especially if Trump can be elected. J.D. is exactly the type person you want, if your goal is to further transform the GOP into more of a blue-collar, meritorious party. In short, the party doesn't care what you are, as long as you can ascribe to the values of hard work, excellence, opportunity and fairness of access.

                  https://www.axios.com/2024/09/20/new-york-mag-olivia-nuzzi-leave-robert-f-kennedy

                  New York Magazine Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi is on leave after an alleged "romantic" relationship with former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Status magazine first reported on Thursday.

                  The big picture: The magazine said in an online statement that Nuzzi "acknowledged" to editors "that she had engaged in a personal relationship with a former subject relevant to the 2024 campaign while she was reporting on the campaign, a violation of the magazine's standards around conflicts of interest and disclosures."

                    Yeah, well, Kennedy. Family tradition.

                      It doesn't sound very romantic to me.

                      I was only joking
