Would Trump gain any votes if RFK Jr. endorsed him?
Some but maybe not a whole lot. Hard to say.
Yes, if structured carefully. Trump should not make any binding promises as to an appointment because that would be illegal. RFK would have use in one key respect: helping develop ways to prevent and to remedy civil rights violations by the federal government and to protect voting rights and against election theft.
He wouldn’t lose any.
No. RfK takes more votes from the dementiacrats than Trump. No need for Trump to get RFKs endorsement.
Overall, it would hurt Trump if RFK Jr dropped out. There are far too many people, especially Dems, who view it as a “civic duty” to vote armed with as little knowledge as possible. Among those, are never Trump anti-establishment types who desperately want to pull the lever for anybody other than Trump or the DNC mystery meat of the day. That said, I wouldn’t mind an RFK Jr in the admin in some limited capacity. But please, run Robert, run!
I want Trump to host a debate or townhall with RFK. Get RFK exposure among the whacko liberals who would vote RFK over the establishment democrat.
