It should be an EASY decision.

Tell the world that his father and uncle would not recognize the current Democrat party.

Smart move by Trump to court RFK, Jr. My guess is Trump may put RFK, Jr. in his cabinet as chief medial officer.

“Driving the news: “There’s two options that we’re looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Shanahan said on the Impact Theory podcast.

“Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump ... and explain to our base why we’re making this decision.”

“Not an easy decision,” she added.”

I found that confusing. With the first one they help the democrats. With the second one they help the republicans. Seems like an easy choice

I don't think RFK would want anything that wasn't a real cabinet post.

I don’t think so. Maybe HHS, since he is anti-vax. He doesn’t seem to be as crazy WRT abortion as Northam.

It's funny, but telling, that the most important thread on this board is languishing in Front Page News.

Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, August 24, RFKJr will throw his support to Trump at Trump's rally.

I’d welcome support from the JFK ticket, if it helps Trump get 1-2% more, that might be all the difference.

If your VP is floating the trial balloon to see how it is received, what do you think? She's not out there without JFKJr's permission to file greivances.

The only trick here, is that JFKJr went to the Democrats first -- only to be rebuffed. So now, will RFKJr give the Democrats another proffer for NIH, which I believe Trump would offer on the condition Goofy doesn't go up there and say, "Trump offered me NIH."

It's not by accident RFKJr is going to heavily campaign in AZ starting Friday.

Think about this as well, RFKJr plays well in AZ, you could almost count on him to close escrow on AZ and NV for Trump and that's game over for Karamela.

If they can work out a non-disclosure, I'd say it's 70-30 to happen Friday. Now if Goofy wants Vance's slot, lol, it'd be funny to see Trump's reaction, 'hmmm, yeah, maybe'.

Alex Jones says that RFK Jr is going to drop out Friday during some event here in LA and endorse Trump

Ok I listened to Shanahan's interview again. RFKJr wants HHS, not NIH. Shanahan is fairly clever, like a smart girl (with unfortunate slight Valley Girl accent), and could easily be a tech czarship for her in TrumpII.

She spoke very highly of Trump's committment to chronic diseases and says they have to take him seriously at where their interests intersect. Balanced budgets and end forever wars, she says later.

"I am so mad at myself for helping Chuck Schumer secure his majority in the Georgia runoff."

The overall vibe is Shanahan is PIZZED at the Democrats and wants to punish them. I'm down with that.

Because if this endorsement goes down Friday, it steals the Narrative back to Trump and negates Mattress Back's post-con bounce, and she knows about bouncing.

It's Happening!

I would presume the announcement will come from JFKJr in PHX on Friday, and hopefully he will join President Trump later in the day in Glendale. Or perhaps a joint announcment.
