People close to former President Trump made preliminary overtures to Robert F. Kennedy about the possibility of serving as his running mate, The Post has learned.
“Trump operatives expressed an interest in Kennedy early on, but it was all premature,” said one person familiar with the matter, adding that it was “right out of the box when Bobby announced” in April 2023 he was running for president.
“Anything’s possible. I wouldn’t write it off by any means,” the insider continued.

I remember very clearly early in the pandemic, Dr. Birx listed a few comorbidities that were most likely to lead to a bad outcome from COVID-19. She included obesity. Did someone tell her that she was not allowed to say that because I don’t recall obesity ever being mentioned again.
Instead of advising people to go outside, breathe fresh air and exercise, people were told to stay inside and order food to be delivered to you.
You know Team Trump has already thought about it—that horse has left the barn.
The problem is that the vast majority of the respectable conservatives don’t get the guts for the fight ahead.
I am a big fan of Sun Tzu.
I think this is the winning gamble. It has risks but I like the upside a lot.
He didn’t have any chance as a Dem and is now confident of being on the ballot in every state.
The VO slot almost doesn’t matter..mostly ceremonial.
So, I almost don’t care.
Agree!
I am not going to defend RFK Jr.’s positions on the issues.
The problem is that mainline conservatives can get every single issue position correct—and then fold when the oven gets hot enough...
DeSantis followed the guidance put forth by President Trump's administration until he quickly realized it was destructive and useless and did a complete 180, much to the criticism of President Trump.
Don't blow smoke up my ass.
NO NO NO!! He is an anti-gun, pro DEI, pro BLM, anti business, more social program democrat. The last thing we need one heart beat away!
No! RFK is a complete climate nut job. Among the worst. He makes Gore seem reasonable. I can see the strategy and it has merit. If RFK were to become the Libertarian Presidential candidate that would just about kill Trump’s chances.
I think RFK is too much of an environmental wacko. Other than that, I kind of like him!
Don’t be shocked if President Trump goes there.
This is high stakes poker for sure.
He is already running as an Independent. He is also talking about things Trump won’t, like the Health Care Costs, Defense Costs, and Interest expense on the debt.
Where is Trump on these issues?
Trump is what 74? A lot can happen health wise to a 74-year-old. A VP particularly one who assumes power through emergency presidential succession as a minimum should be capable of carrying on the policies of the one who brought him to the dance. Any and all VP considerations should have that in mind. Failure to do so would be irresponsible and frivolous!
So, you should care.
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.
RFK Jr doesn’t need to fold toward authoritarian Marxism he’s already there! That makes him better?????
RFK Jr. hates the Deep State.
They hate him.
That is the headline issue.
If we can get the Deep State under control we are then in a position to deal with all other issues.
What unity?

What I do recall were articles after articles about "healthy 24-year-old dies of Covid" and then you'd scroll down to a photo of the decedent and the "healthy" 24-year-old weighed about 400 pounds.
If you think he actually hates the Deep State I got a bridge I can sell you! The Kennedys are Deep State! Just a different faction - a New England hard core socialist faction!
