Subject: Re: RFK to drop out, endorse Trump
So where's the logic in that endorsement?

What we do know is that RFK has zero chance of winning. So all he will do is pull voters away from either Trump or Harris. Given his public statements, I'm going to guess he'd pull lots more voters away from Trump than from Harris.

Switching tracks for a moment, what's a desperate convict to do if he wants to stay out of jail? He needs RFK to drop out so that those voters will vote for the convict instead. With an incredibly close election, every vote counts. So how to get RFK to drop out?

Going into full-on speculation, this desperate convict might promise RFK a good job in his administration in exchange for dropping out and endorsing all convicts in the upcoming election. That solves two problems. RFK gets to stay relevant, and the convict gets more votes. Win-win. But there is a problem with this plan. Fortunately, its one that RFK is dumb enough to either ignore the problem completely or to think that he will be the exception to the rule that the convict uses people and then tosses them aside like garbage once they are no longer useful to him.

The problem is that RFK is giving his side of the bargain now, while Trump would have to follow through on his side at some time in the future. And we all know how good Trump is at keeping his promises to people like RFK.
