Polls show that a Kennedy withdrawal would probably help Trump more than it hurts him. But if it does, it’s at the margins — though small margins have ended up deciding recent presidential elections.

    What a scheme. I’d be interested in seeing if new polls have any differences in impact from this, because previous polling had RFK support at such low numbers it was mathematically insignificant in its impact of the electorate, but let’s see.

    In any case, it’s too late to nap these shitheads for collusion or election interference, though that’s exactly what this was. As of last week, the RFK campaign was begging for a cabinet position from either side after he was thrown off the NY ballot, which sure as shit seems like selling an endorsement, which is not quite illegal, but fucking disgusting. Didn’t work with Kanye in 2020, and sure as shit shouldn’t work here, but this is now a pattern with Trump, and there has to be some way to nab him on this as well as the long list of other illegal shit he’s in scope to this election alone.

    In any case, RFK would be the one to get the blowback on this if evidence is found that the entire campaign was meant to be a spoiler, which would be various types of fraud.
