“The thing I admire about contemporary deep-state Democrats is their nimbleness. This nimbleness was on ostentatious view in the regime response to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement Friday that he was 1) suspending his campaign (at least in battleground states) and 2) throwing his support behind Donald Trump. The acrid scent of panic might have been expected among the limp-wristed, totalitarian faithful. And, in fact, beneath the amusing cologne of anti-Trump bluster, the panic was indeed discernible. But there was also that trademark smooth-as-a-suppository (as Saul Bellow put it) suaveness, exemplified, for instance, by former Obama strategist David Axelrod. ‘Robert F. Kennedy Sr.,’ Axelrod posted shortly after the deed was done, ‘would have been appalled to see his son cut a deal to drop out for [t]he race and endorse Trump.’ Imagine: someone agrees to drop out of a race at the last minute and support a rival candidate!” (08/25/24)
