It's what The New York Times article says. I have referred back to it countless times now.

I understand that you will only trust what supports your tribal belief system. I also understand that you are stubborn and like to split hairs when arguing.

i'll ask again - who do you think the original sources for that assertion are?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was unsuccessful with his request to discuss endorsing the Democratic nominee in exchange for a top administration job, according to two people briefed on the outreach.

You will argue anything and only trust what supports your belief system. You obviously didn't even read The New York Times article or you wouldn't have tried to split hairs over whether or not it was cabinet post ....

The headline of the article specifically called it a "a cabinet post."

For about the 10th time now ... I'm basing that completely on what Caroline Kennedy-Schlossberg told The New York Times. She said that he has personally come to her for money - even though they have never been close. She also said that she is aware of him approaching other. members of their family for money, including Maria Shriver. Shriver also confirmed that to The New York Times.

So…. hearsay? From an estranged family member?

While discounting established methodologies from the likes of Forbes.

Seems legit.

see my post above: recap - top administrative job is not cabinet and the two people are likely Harris team members (who we all know would never, ever exaggerate the situation).

LOL. I have said that RFK Jr.'s endorsement is meaningless, because he offered both candidates his endorsement in exchange for a cabinet post. I have supported such a contention with an article from The New York Times and a video, as well.

If that's "painting myself into a corner" ... Well, the echo chamber lives on. What a clown show this place is. Stubborn and tribal.

you refuse to examine this story - just like you wouldn't examine the Project 25 story that was ultimately sourced by Media Matters taking a comments more than 2 minutes apart to create a "quote".

I encourage you to exercise some critical thinking

where's the offer from Trump for a cabinet position?

who told the NYTs he demanded a cabinet position?

we are just asking questions that you refuse to answer.

NYT is FOS. The drive by news hacks will be coming at us fast and furious leading up to November 5th. MSM is “all hands on deck”. Bet on it.

Can you answer? Who told the NYT?

All I saw was "two people briefed on the outreach".

I'm not even dogging the NYTs. I'm simply asking where the assertion came from. Hard to imagine it wasn't someone from team Harris. The natural question would be if we should be skeptical of things campaign insiders are telling the media (the answer is yes).

On Luther's magical continuum of truthiness where +10 is absolute truth and -10 is pants on fire I'd put Teams Trump and Harris at -9 and Team RFKJr at - 3. Accordingly, I'm skeptical of the narrative that RFKJr is simply selling his allegiance to get a job because he needs money he wants it

I'm asking for an educated guess. Mine would be it was people in the Harris campaign - who else would it be? So the next logical question would be do they have any incentive to stretch the truth and I think we all know the answer to that (just as if it came from people in the Trump campaign).

Lol at you of accusing anyone of being tribal.

I should have been ignoring you 2 pages ago. You are tribal and stubborn and will only trust what supports your belief system. This is a pointless waste of time.

Project 2025 Co-Author Caught On Undercover Video Saying Trump ‘Supportive’ of Plan Trump Now Disavows

While former President Donald Trump has repeatedly, publicly distanced himself from Project 2025 -- a 900-page guidebook for Trump's second term as President -- one of the document's co-authors was caught on a hidden camera stating that the ex-president "blessed" everything in it. Russell Vought...

I would imagine you are correct that it likely came from Team Harris and of course they likely have a nice relationship with the NYT. As crazy as RFK Jr is on some things, I think he’s as pi$$3d off as the rest of us. Selling allegiance doesn’t seem to be his style.
