But regardless of my personal feeling I say, well done Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Junior.\u00a0 You have proven that the Kennedy family isn\u2019t a complete and utter waste of everyone\u2019s time.\u00a0 You\u2019ve done one useful thing in your time on this Earth.\u00a0 Kudos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched RFK Jr.\u2019s announcement.\u00a0 His pulling out of the swing states is a very interesting tactic.\u00a0 I guess it\u2019s possible he might nudge enough<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[3344,4656],"class_list":["post-30160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-trump","tag-2024-elections","tag-rfk-jr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
