Trump must be pissed. But nominating an unqualified idiot for HHS seems to be a bridge too far.

…in the coming months. Adjust your portfolios wisely.

Trump didn't sneak RFKjr in the backdoor after the election.  He had RFKjr front and center during the campaign.  Everyone knew the Trump/RFKjr coalition.  And the voters voted for it -- a majority.    
.
Now that some elites don't like it -- too bad.  The people have spoken.

And most people knew very little about him. Now that they're finding out, they don't like it.
After all, this is a guy who single-handedly caused a Measles epidemic on Samoa that killed a bunch of kids. As Factcheck.org said: "Kennedy also played a part in one of the worst measles outbreaks in recent memory. In 2018, two infants in American Samoa died when nurses accidentally prepared the combined measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine with expired muscle relaxant rather than water. The Samoan government temporarily suspended the vaccination program, and anti-vaccine advocates — including Kennedy and his nonprofit — flooded the area with misinformation. The vaccination rate dropped to a dangerously low level. The next year, when a traveler brought measles to the islands, the disease tore through the population, sickening more than 5,700 people and killing 83, most of them young children."
What a guy.

We’ll never know how many votes, but if there were two camps  
1) I’m not voting for Trump because of RFK Jr
or
2) I’m an RFK Jr supporter so I’m voting for Trump,
then the RFK Jr folks supporting Trump were the larger group.

According to a NY Times/ Siena poll:
"Pre-election polling was inconclusive about whether Mr. Kennedy’s exit from the race gave a more significant advantage to Mr. Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris. A post-election analysis of results offered few clues to answer that question.In a battleground-state poll from The New York Times and Siena College just before Mr. Kennedy left the race, he received support from about 5 percent of voters. The outcomes in those states did not change whether Mr. Kennedy was on the ballot or not, the survey showed....

And then people lost herd immunity in just a year after people stopped taking shots that killed them? For a disease that wasn’t on the island but came to the island due to open borders and not testing for disease? That’s Kennedy’s fault?

There’s a big difference between your headline “ no evidence RFK "Brought Votes To Trump” and your conclusion “ In other words, RFK's support most likely had no impact on the outcome”. I tend to agree with your conclusion while disagreeing with your headline.

Cuz you really seem to enjoy picking nits.

First they fucked up royally by administering a vaccine that was contaminated with a muscle relaxant. That could have gotten people killed. When the public heard that they were administering contaminated vaccines, they did the only logical and sane thing anyone would do and they refused to have their goddamn NEWBORNS vaccinated with contaminated shots. Well, common sense tells you that this creates a vulnerability in the population to measles. So what would be the very first thing you would set up as a rule if you were a Samoan health administrator? You would make DAMN SURE that 100% of the people coming to the island had 1) been tested for Measles and found to be NEGATIVE and 2) They had an up to date measles vaccination. That's just logic. It's the most DUH thing of all time. A goddamned teenager could have figured that out. But they didn't do any of those things. Why? And how in the flying fuck is this in any way Kennedy's fault? This was 100% a Samoan fuck up.

Yes, the cause of the initial problem was perfectly good vaccine doses mistakenly mixed with a muscle relaxant. But the problem wasn't that "it could have gotten people killed." It DID get people killed; two infants. Then Wanker ignores what RFK Jr. did completely. He swept into Samoa with anti-vaxer pals and flooded the place with misinformation about vaccines, leading to a drop in vaccinations. Had that not happened, when an infected person entered the country the following year nothing might have happened.
But Wanker ignores this.
