Harris-Walz Campaign.
Hear me out.
RFK, Jr. goes to the H-W Campaign, makes his pitch, makes his offer, and theoretically, they accept the offer.
And trust him, kinda/sorta.
And he takes whatever information he can get and gives it to the TSF's Campaign. IOW, a mole!
It's so Roger Stone.
But, as we all know, that didn't happen.
But with RFK, Jr. "suspending" (in theory) his campaign and backing TSF, it becomes clear to me that he always was supporting TSF and the invitation to join H-W was a ruse.

(15,377 posts)That was always a nonstarter.
I think a simpler explanation is that The Worm simply wanted a cabinet position or really any position, and put his campaign up for bid. He only got one offer and he took it.
The Trump campaign is unlikely to feature him in the campaign as they already have an overflow of weirdos. And they certainly arent going to give him any useful information.

(129,212 posts)RFK is too much of a nutball and a narcissist to involve himself in any kind of plot. When he figured out - or someone told him - that his campaign was dying, he approached the Trump campaign only because it was always clear the Democrats wouldn't go near him but he wanted to stay relevant to someone. Sometimes a brain worm is just a brain worm.

(54,336 posts)I'm saying that was the TSF's campaign "strategy". They don't believe the DNC and H-W are smarter than they are.
They just believe in dirty tricks, which is Roger Stone's forte.

Remember in 2020 how they got Kanye West to announce he was running for President under "The Birthday Party"? It was assumed that he could take away a lot of African-American votes from Joe Biden like it was a popularity contest.
Listen to how Bobby lauds Trump in his announcement. If he truly endorsed H-W, it wouldn't have mattered if they took his calls or not. He was always in it for Trump.

(54,336 posts)OK, OK, I know I'm like a dog who won't give up its bone.
Again, hear me out.
By the way, it is a FEDERAL CRIME to promise a post in an administration in exchange for a candidate endorsement

How about this: RNC/Trump "strategists" sent Bobby to the H-W to make a deal, with the hopes the offer would be accepted. Then Bobby goes running back to Trump Camp and they publicize that "America's Prosecutor" is corrupt and broke a federal law.
I know this sounds conspiratorial, but after years of documenting Roger Stone, anything's possible.

Now he's backing a climate denier against the only candidate with an effective plan for dealing with greenhouse emotions.
What a sad joke
