I have no illusions about the Kennedy clan or RFK Jr.

I do not worship any of them.

However our enemies are very powerful and if we have someone who says all the right things and then caves in when the going gets tough (hello Mike Pence) we have nothing.

The blame for COVID lies entirely with a short, s----eye guy in a bomb-proof room in Beijing. Some call him Pooh, others Xi Jinping.

Yes, for a disease that was harmful only to the elderly and the morbidly obese.

Shutting down the country, shutting down the schools, shuttering a million small businesses, printing trillions of dollars in aid (half of which would be stolen) and forcing a vaccine that 99% of the population didn't need was entirely on our leaders, including the man at the very top.

You can forget it if you'd like. I'm not going to whose signature was on all of it.

IMHO Trump is far too enamored of celebrities for his own good and for ours. I specifically think of his promoting Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania.

Dr. Oz was a disaster for sure.

That said President Trump likes breaking the rules.

RFK Jr. breaks all of them.

No, no, and NO!

So many better choices...
* Kari Lake
* Kristi Noem
* Elise Stefanik
* MTG

No, no, and NO!

Too many women.
Too much drama.
Too emotional.
Lack of simple logical thinking.
All proven facts.

I don’t know where you’re getting the “pseudo conservative” piece of your formulation from. He’s a left wing kook. To have him as VP to any GOO President, let alone an elderly one, is insane

Only if Biden steps down and endorses Michelle Obama.

A Trump/Kennedy would be preferable to Michelle.

Otherwise, nominate a STRONG CONSERVATIVE fighter.

Kennedy and Trump agree on 90%, BUT here’s where they DON’T - Thus concern

1) Kennedy supports abortion up the birth
2) Kennedy has indicated support for Reparations
3) Kennedy has indicated support for some illegal amnesty

BUT, Kennedy has said we need a secure border (which Biden occasionally says that too).

I totally understand why Trumpers would rather not talk about it and would like the rest of us to forget everything that happened (unless we're blaming Ron DeSantis for propping up Dr. Fauci).

DeSantis shutdown Florida. He didn't have to.

DeSantis quarantined travelers into Florida.

DeSantis praised Fauci.

Stop with the DeSantis BS.

Thoughts concerns?

Yeah - the guy's a leftist. Further to the left than Obama. I don't want him a heartbeat away from the presidency. This would be an incredibly dumb idea.

The problem that President Trump has is timing.

He needs a VP pick ASAP as life insurance and delegate insurance.

The Democrats can pull a Mikey switcheroo very late in the game.

A disaster. RFK, Jr., is neither MAGA nor a traditional conservative. To protect Trump and MAGA from assassination and removal via lawfare, Trump’s VP has to be more MAGA than he is. His enemies need to be hoping that his VP won’t succeed him.

“Study shows a drink before bed can cause reductions in REM sleep”

He’s nuts. If Trump going to pick a Democrat, Tulsi is 100 times better, and PERFECTLY lines up with his foreign police instincts (which, to put it simply, means ‘no need for World War 3’).

I'd be ok with it. As I said elsewhere, if Trump is not on the ballot in November due to shenanigans from the Left, I'll vote for RFK, Jr. over just about every other in-on-the-steal GOPe drone that could be put in as the nominee.

This country needs a severe shake-up.

Any supposed conservative that thinks it would be okay to let the House of Kennedy get near the levers of national power should seek psychiatric treatment. And that includes Team Trump.

Biden and Mayorkas say that too - in fact, they claim we have a secure border right now. Does Kennedy strongly support construction of a border wall or not?
