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.”

I think it interesting what this site (and country) has become. Many are finally coming out of the closet. They aren’t conservatives, and are now willing to say so.
Count me out. I will not abandon my values. For some, including me, my deepest values are a hill to do on. For others, their values, if they even have any, are expendable. Sad. Their soul is missing.
Greg Abbott is quietly making a case over the past several days and weeks.
Unlike Trump he is a careful and disciplined politician.
Trump’s choice in 2016 was so bad that now you want him to pick a liberal democrat?
After 8 years of Trump and his presidential politics as the leader of the GOP, he can’t find a veep better than a liberal democrat?
I want the best leader if something happened to Trump.
I’m not sure who that person is, but I’m open to suggestions.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drove his wife to suicide.
He cheated on that wife many times.
He is a nut and a Kennedy!
Stay away!!
NO! ABSOLUTELY NO!
Zero liberals, no democrats or rinos!!
“In fact, he represented people harmed by vaccines.”
Ambulance chaser. Check his history.
Trump, Kennedy and us share the same enemies. I think he’d be a great AG choice.
“””I want the best leader if something happened to Trump.

The most basic suggestion is to not look to the
Democratic Party.
After 8 years of Trump where is the Republican bench?
You too, Robert Spencer? Ugh.
Could there ever be the trust necessary for that scenario to work?
If they agree, our role is to go in here and obliterate the deep state, they might be just the two men to do it, and do it effectively.
Oh to be rid of the ingrained network of absolute scumbags — root and branch.
Mike Pence checked the box on every public policy issue.
Then when it was time to show courage he went full Quisling.
Checking the boxes is not good enough.
Not being a liberal Democrat is a good starting point.
How is this even a discussion at freerepublic?
No thanks. He’s an environmentalist whacko.
We have explained why.
The Deep State must be stopped.
If that is not done the rest of the agenda will be irrelevant.
This would make 2028 very akward.
Saying “ vote Democrat to stop the deep state” is not much of an argument to start voting Democrat.
