BTW you completely misunderstood my statement. You mistook my conclusion that you ALREADY thought RFKjr was stupid with the absurdity that I was compelling you to think he is stupid. Not even close.
I was objecting to you telling me what I must think. The world is not that black and white.
First of all, few if any politicians are trustworthy.
Second, RFK explained in his speech that he's being realistic; he's got about 10 good years left in him, and he wants to do what he can to make a difference in the fields that matter most to him. He sees a more likely chance of doing this by aligning with Trump rather than the Democrats.
Also, your cynical reply about politicians and realism does not address the meat of the issue which is RFK's agonizing decision to endorse a Republican. You refuse to grapple with the issue that RFKjr has grappled with - that the Dems are so undemocratic that they are a detriment to this country. THAT'S reality! You can makes all the silly retorts you like, avoiding the substance. Exactly the opposite of what RFKjr did. The man has depth and credibility. Try fitting that into not trusting Trump. It won't fit.
I was merely suggesting that you analyze what you said. RFKjr is an honorable and courageous man of integrity. I'm not a Democrat, but he has moved me to wanting to support him in the early stage of his campaign. The inconsistency of his pro-choice stand and others turned me away. But if you think a man like him is going to pin his hopes for children's health to someone he doesn't trust, well, that's just ridiculous. In his discussions with Trump he MUST have received sufficient indications of Trump's trustworthiness OR HE WOULD NOT HAVE GONE DOWN THIS ROAD regardless of how desperate he is to accomplish his goals for children. To do otherwise, to me would be stupid and could demolish everything he's worked for AND it doesn't make sense that he would turn his back politically on his party and his wife and family without a very large degree of certainty that he was betting on a sure thing. YOU may not trust Trump, but I think RFKjr does.
My mistake was in trying to engage someone who refuses to engage. Distraction, dismissal and refusal to give credit. You couldn't/wouldn't back up your claim that RFK doesn't trust Trump. I did. And after watching RFK's interview with Shannon Bream today at 2pm on Fox News, I am even more convinced that there is no basis for your assertion. RFK and Trump came to an amicable meeting of the minds. Wow! That's a great thing. Can you agree with me?
Then you must think RFKjr is a stupid person to side with a man he doesn't trust. I think just the opposite.
Must I?

Give me an alternative??

Unlike you, I'm not telling you how or what to think.
We agree about RFK's character and goals, which you seem to have overlooked, engaging in a pointless argument. Nuff said.
