Why was RFK jr. trying to sell himself to both the Harris camp and to trump?

What is that about? He can't be broke? I haven't heard anything about the Kennedy family having anything negative to do with his finances.

They have of course sharply criticized and distanced themselves from his political position and sell out to trump.

just the kind of spineless weasel we want in government - as if there weren't enough of those. Vance, Graham, etc.

3. Why can't he be broke? He was an addict. He could also just be extremely greedy. Some people

6. Because he's a two-timing idiot. Playing both sides of the fence, he's that desperate to gain the spotlight.

7. What happens to narcissistic liberals who don't get enough attention?

(And RFKjr was a liberal.)

They turn to the other side to get what they need.

What happens when that fails?

You get RFJjr.

He wants attention wherever he can get it. That's why he told the story about the dead bear. The shock of it got him some attention.

Like with toddlers. They will try to get attention by being good. If that doesn't work, they will misbehave.
