Kennedy

 Quick heads up. Looks like Kennedy is exiting the race and will endorse Trump, in exchange for a Trump cabinet position. Good possibility this happens on Friday August 23rd in order to steal some thunder from the Democratic National Convention which ends Thursday night and which is going great guns. The thing that would really make this Kennedy/Trump move very mute, would be a surprise announcement from Taylor Swift and/or Beyonce.

If you are supporting Kennedy in part because you don’t like Harris or Trump, perhaps you will be compelled by Trump’s promise to include Kennedy in his Cabinet or give him some government position where he can do whatever it is he thinks needs to be done.
