    RFK was always a wildcard. He’s a weird mix of surprisingly reasonable ideas with complete and utter insanity and there’s no real rhyme or reason behind it. In a way it’s kind of refreshing dealing with plain old insanity compared to the usual MAGA crowd that very blatantly adjust their stances to match their prejudices and whatever is most profitable for them at the time.

    It’s going to be interesting to see what happens when the grifter wing of MAGA runs face first into the nutter wing because I really have no clue which one comes out on top in that fight. My guess is that the grifters win since it will likely come down to whoever Trump decides to back and he’ll always go with a grifter over anyone else.

      It’d be too bad if the MAHA wing were to lose, since maybe Bobby Brainworm had the antidote for every ill in that raccoon penis and just hasn’t announced it yet.

      Yeah. I looked up his track record a few years ago when he was in the running, and he’s always got, as you said, a reasonable idea, but then he gets about two links of thought into it and it turns into completely deranged nonsense. It starts with “let’s clean up our waterways” and ends with “I eat bones and shit ghosts”
