Could Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be Donald Trump’s running mate in 2024?
The Trump has had thoughts along these lines. The New York Post reported Saturday that “people close to former President Trump made preliminary overtures to Robert F. Kennedy about the possibility of serving as his running mate.” Someone whom the Post identified as “one person familiar with the matter” said that “Trump operatives expressed an interest in Kennedy early on, but it was all premature,” as it was “right out of the box when Bobby announced” his candidacy for president in April 2023.
At that time, Kennedy peremptorily dismissed such a possibility, stating on May 10, 2023: “Just to quell any speculation, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I join Donald Trump on an electoral ticket. Our positions on certain fundamental issues, our approaches to governance, and our philosophies of leadership could not be further apart.”
Some patriots greeted that announcement with relief. Historian Larry Schweikart responded: “Gee Bobby, what I've been tellin' people. Thanks. Your anti-gun, anti-life positions are out of touch with modern Republican voters. Too bad. A little common sense and you'd be great.”
Yet, since then, Kennedy has more than once displayed a little common sense. In August 2023, he was still attempting to distance himself from Trump while endorsing many of his positions. Kennedy said: “There’s a lot of politicians throughout our history that have talked about the border issue as a way to stir up or incite xenophobia or raise nationalism,” in an apparent swipe at Bad Orange Man. But RFK continued: “I might come to this issue from a different perspective, and it’s a perspective of compassion, of humanitarianism, but also just common sense. A country cannot exist if it can’t secure its border.”

NO GO.
KENNEDY is a one-issue CONSERVATIVE; the rest LIBERAL.
To counter Gavin Newsom/Michelle Obama?
He wants revenge for the Deep State that murdered his father and uncle.
Does that count?
Lol.
Whether Kennedy is the best way to go about it, I don't know.
Trump also needs someone to pass his torch to in 2028. I'm hoping it will be Tucker Carlson (though I realize that's a long shot).
“Deep State” attempting to shape the Republican ticket with a demented liberal backup?
President Trump wouldn’t last a full year in that scenario.
Conservatism is dead and conservative vs liberal is over.
We have a country to save.
Take RFK on, win the election then neuter any of his leftist crap on Jan 20th. Could be a plan. The only thing about RFK is the guy can barely speak due to to his throat issue. But it’s almost a guaranteed win IF RFK doesn’t sabotage Trump during the campaign.
Not going to happen. Someone is having a fever dream.
Made for each other.
Hell No! RFK is a leftist that wanted to lock people up for not getting the vax.
If they made any such inquiry, they are idiots.
Dr Franklin put it well:
<><>Trump-RFK, Jr. would be a unity ticket.
<><>Trump and RFK, Jr. could agree to direct supporters to vote for the other in certain states
<><>this way Biden, or a replacement Rat, can’t win an electoral majority.
<><>Trump supporters voting for RFK, Jr. in CA guarantees Biden can’t win (yay),
<><>at worst is a contingent election in the House which Trump should win,
<><>but Trump would have to deal with the RINOs there.
He also wanted to silence “Climate Deniers.”
“”””Conservatism is dead “”””
We conservatives see that posted a lot on FR today as conservatism is denigrated and mocked.
There would be no better to do what JFK tried to do the Deep State.
Talk about a score to settle.
KENNEDY is a one-issue CONSERVATIVE; the rest LIBERAL

Agreed, check his stance on gun control a decade ago. Only when the Supreme Court came out in support of the Second Amendment did he change his tune.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing?
Check the internet history, he was against forced vaccination. In fact, he represented people harmed by vaccines. His wife hates it and disagrees.
Tucker Carlson is the only name I have heard other than RFK Jr. that passes the “courage under fire” test.
I have zero confidence in anyone who has not already passed that test.
RFK is actually a staunch Anti-vaccine person.
