Trump’s team reached out to RFK Jr. ‘early on’ about serving as VP: ‘Wouldn’t write it off’
Nypost ^ | 01/27/2024 | Jon Levine

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.

“Your guy is on the ticket.”

Still can’t understand how demented Trump-hating idiots like you are allowed on this site.

Dems fear RFK much much more than they fear Trump.

I agree Liz.
I haven’t chatted with you in forever it seems.
You good?

Yikes.

The CIA killed RFKs father and uncle.

This is personal with him.

Very personal.

(Btw it does not matter whether you agree with the assassination claims or not. RFK Jr. believes them and for him revenge is a dish best served cold. All these issues are trivial to him by comparison.)

DeSantis shutdown Florida. He didn't have to. DeSantis quarantined travelers into Florida. DeSantis praised Fauci. Stop with the DeSantis BS.

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.

Really? Document Trump criticizing DeSantis about opening back up.

Trump didn't recommend to DeSantis to quarantine travelers.

And DeSantis did indeed praise Fauci.

Don't blow smoke up my ass.

I posted three facts. The smoke up yours is yours.

Insanity x Madness = a big NO.

If this team did win, when Trump leaves in 4 years, libertarian Kennedy will run as President, with his qualifications as VP handed to him by naive Republicans.

But they won't win, his history of heroin use and his wife's suicide will be a constant drumbeat of the MSM, and they have all the receipts of his troubled background. He'll be seen as a traitor and they will annihilate him

+1.
The very first sentence gives the Click Bait away. No need to read any further.

That being said I would welcome JFK. He will take Biden votes, and the Anti-Vax voters.

Trump will cut a deal......first things first. He is MAGA.......that will carry the day.

Bobby has little or no say in the prez campaign......
a VP is a ceremonial role......he can only do what the president says he can do.

Bobby will have his eye on 2028.....I’m sure Trump will remind him “every now and then.”

Bobby is closer to being prez as Trump’s VP than he’d ever be running against Trump.

RFK seems a better fit as a Green candidate. That would be great, it would really hurt Biden. I think that possibility is why Biden just killed that huge LNG project. It will cost 70,000 jobs and a lot of bad things but what does he care. It helps him
big time with the climate nazi’s.

President Trump may be willing to take his chances—and I think it is the right move.

The MSM can blast away all it wants—they are already in 24/7 Trump Derangement Syndrome anyway.

RFK Jr. hatred would keep them busy while angering voters.

Press conferences at the links:

Thread – How Donald Trump shut down America: Reexamining Trump’s role in the response to COVID Trump knew lockdown was a lie. He did it anyway.

On March 13, 2020, Trump began announcing initial lockdown measures. “This is why I outlined…my administration’s, the fact we’ve issued a requirement suspending all medically unnecessary visits to various places, but particular nursing homes.”

March 15, 2020: VP Mike Pence explains that the decision to advise lockdowns belongs solely with Trump. “Everything that the White House Coronavirus Task Force does is at the direction of the President… We’re considering everything and everything.”

March 16, 2020: Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and Donald Trump smile as they announce “15 Days to Slow the Spread”—arguably the most destructive domestic policy ever implemented in the United States.

March 27, 2020: Trump defends school closures. “Some of them are very happy not to go to school… They should just sit back and be very proud of our country because we’re doing it for them.”

Shall I go on?

Stop gaslighting me.

I know what happened. I watched it happen. Trump was in charge.

Dr.Fauci living rent free in Nancy Drew's head.

No worries. The Nancy will be voting Biden anyway. Let him scratch glass, and climb walls. It's funny. ;)
