Imagine a Kennedy so willing to sell his soul that even his family members come out against him.
Face it, Fred, RFK Jr. sold his endorsement to whomever was willing to give him a position in their administration. Trump was willing to do that, which, once again, shows what little integrity Trump has. It also shows what little integrity RFK Jr. has.
Harris was not willing to compromise her ethics and morals in order to get Kennedy's endorsement.
RFK Jr realized he had no chance to win so he offered his services to both campaigns. You may think he wanted power at any cost. Instead, maybe he thought this was the best way to serve his nation. Many Republicans are quite upset that a man who is about 90% leftist will have too much influence in a conservative cabinet, but traditionally presidents will chose a token member of another party to help balance out the cabinet.
Personally I don't think offering Jr a slot will deliver any votes to Trump. Some pundits think that Donald might replace Vance with Kennedy. I don't see that happening. Especially with less than seventy days remaining.

Offering a political endorsement in exchange for a position in their administration is the epitome of selling your soul.
Most Americans view RFK Jr as a crackpot, who is now fully melded to Trump. Since the announcement, Trump has even called it the "Trump Kennedy" ticket. So, Trump now has a crazy man on his ticket.
What Kennedy doesn't realize is that Trump will never give him a spot in his administration. RFK Jr has set himself up as a fool. You can't trust Trump to ever honor his word.
Read a story from RFK's daughter over the weekend. Seems he has always been fascinated by heads and skulls so he found a young, dead whale on the beach. He chopped off its head and strapped it down on the roof of the car. The straps were so short they had to leave the windows open. So the poor passengers were drowned in whale juices on their way home. They put plastic bags on their heads with breathing holes but it still must have been a bloody, messy ride.
So while Walz, Harris, Trump and Vance are weird, they aren't as weird as Kennedy.

Obama turned out to be a fantastic President. Historians already rank him in the top 15.
Hillary would have been sooooo much better than Donald, so much more qualified. What a mistake that man was. She was Secretary of State, remember? She was a Senator fro New York. What was Donald? A seven times bankrupt business man from...
