RFK Jr. considering dropping out to ‘join forces’ with Trump, Nicole Shanahan says
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering dropping out of the 2024 race to “join forces” with former President Donald Trump, his running mate revealed Tuesday.“There’s two options that we’re looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Nicole Shanahan, the independent candidate’s vice presidential pick, said during an appearance on the “Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu” podcast.
The other option?
“We walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump…and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” Shanahan said.
“Not an easy decision,” the 38-year-old independent VP candidate added.
Shanahan indicated that she would be more comfortable with Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), running the country than with Harris and Walz.
Trump, 78, reportedly met with Kennedy in Milwaukee last month, on the first day of the Republican National Convention, in an effort to gain his endorsement.
During those talks, the two men discussed the possibility that Trump could give Kennedy a cabinet or lower-level position in his administration, the Washington Post reported.
What the hell, why not. Now admittedly, RFKJr is something of a flake, particularly as regards the phonus-balonus Climate Change (formerly Global Warming, formerly Global Cooling, formerly The Weather)™ scam. That said, though, he’s the only D卐M☭CRAT currently extant who even comes close to making any sense at all, on most any other policy, political/ideological principle, or topic you’d care to name. I wouldn’t at all mind seeing him “join forces” with Team Trump, if only for the delightful paroxysms of hysteria, heartburn, and angst such a nose-tweaking would bring about for shitlibs.
Oh, and my post title? It’s from a moldy-goldie-oldie you greybeards will surely recall.
What can one say but: Heh. Indeed.
Kennedy was and is a whack-a-doodle who occasionally makes sense on an item or two.
Overall, this is noteworthy, because the DNC has lost him.
That’s also the only thing he really brings to the table: discord among the common enemies of the republic.
That, in particular, should be fully exploited.
If anybody wants to someday make him ambassador to Ireland or something prestigious but similarly neutered, I’d have no problem with it.
But I wouldn’t give him anything where he might impact policy in any meaningful way.
Trump might want to make a new limited position for Kennedy to oversee Fauci’s old department.
Now you’re talking!
Trump should be hiring guys to run departments that need to go, and equipping them with suicide vests and VBIEDs.
And I’m not speaking entirely metaphorically.
