This man wouldn’t know a principle if it kicked him in the teeth.

I've just checked with the person that they're happy with me talking about this, and they are, so i guess just to paraphrase then, they disagree and see him as very principled (this was not in direct response to this post here, just in reply to me) and suggest anyone should watch his full speech before making a judgement. That it was not an easy decision for him, but that he 'stepped down from being a spoiler candidate' and did something uncomfortable for the greater good. Which sounds to me, similar to what Biden did, (the spoiler candidate bit), and which I have huge respect for him for doing... takes balls to step down for the good of the country. Whether Junior's thing can be compared to that, I don't know, but just on the face of it it seems similar, but as I said, I don't myself have a horse in this particular race.
He didn’t ‘step down for the greater good’. He ended his campaign because his numbers were dropping like a paralyzed falcon. And he endorsed Trump because he wants a job in the next administration and the Harris campaign essentially told him to go piss up a rope.
Ask your friend if they’ve looked into how many lives were destroyed by Junior’s years-long embracing of anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories.
That high pitched whine you hear is RFK, Sr spinning in his grave.
