I never said that.
RFK Jr and Tulsi are going to be part of the committee that chooses the people who will be in charge of Trump policy. That's the deal, among other things.
You can try and square that circle all you want but Trump's bringing two big name liberal Democrats into his campaign inner circle and allowing them input into his cabinet selections...you OK with that?
What was it we used to say around here...once a Democrat ALWAYS a Democrat?
I see burt, Russia bad, Ukraine and U.S. government good and honorable.
Got it!
*Heads would explode.
But she’s a Brit.*
Katie Hopkins would rub it in with ridicule. Give her the job for 1`0 weeks and she quits Jan. 20. Lots of laughter.
""You actually believe that was RFK Jr's. understanding when he cut his deal with Trump?""
You say Kennedy will be in charge of Trump policy? Give me the details of the deal.
I never said that.
LOL!
Not so much about a bigger tent as sending as message that an incoming Trump administration is going to clean the corruption within the political class.
We all know why you are attacking both -- both are opposed to failed proxy war in Ukraine and hideously evil globalist elite behind the war.
Stop pretending otherwise.
So Conservatism is now bad?
Nothing says cleaning the corruption within the political class more than appointing two liberal Democrats to his cabinet-selection committee.

When asked later in the interview if she thought Assad was a good person, Gabbard said, “No, I don’t,” and asked if Russian President Vladimir Putin was an adversary to the US, she responded, “Yes.”
Are you going to vote for Trump for the communist Democrat ticket, Timber? Time to tell us.
Even pro-Ukrainian sources are saying Russia is walking right and taking control of settlements now with no resistance in Donbass.
How much longer before the Russians tell Zelensky to surrender or that power goes out altogether?
What does "conservative" even mean? It's changed its meaning over the decades, and has contradictory meanings.
I like the "conservatism" of Charles Lindbergh and Russell Kirk, which was about preserving traditional Christian values and protecting the interests of native born Americans.
Then in the 1950s, National Review flipped the meaning to a "proposition nation," a "nation of immigrants," globalist free markets, and America as the world's policeman.
Since then, "conservative" has morphed from Anita Bryant to Caitlin Jenner. The word has become meaningless, yet people have an emotional attachment to it.
People argue about what is "True Conservatism," focusing on the label rather than the policies. As if labeling a policy "conservative" means you've won the debate and needn't defend the policy.
Libertarians are the same way. If they can succeed in slapping the "True Libertarian" label onto a policy, they needn't debate or discuss the policy itself. If it's "libertarian," then it must be correct.
Personnel is policy, and both Kennedy and Gabbard lived their lives as Democrats.
Oh, that's the least of it. The Neocons are going to be doing more than just voting for Harris. Those who are in a position to do so will be pulling out the stops to derail a potential Trump 2.0 administration. People who think that a bunch of silly talking heads on, say, MSNBC are the problem are clueless fools. No, look to outfits like the Wall Street Journal op-ed page. They are the real danger to Trump. They and their fellow travelers in spirit will be bending heaven and Earth to stop Trump.
Warmongering is the central sacrament of the globalist faith. People who are thinking in terms other than who's a globalist and who is not are just not getting it.
“..why would we want them in charge of policy?”
These life-long Democrats are paying a huge price for coming over to Trump’s side. They have made a lot of enemies by doing this, including friends and family - and they are learning what it’s like to suddenly be scorned by the entire media and celebrity talk show circuit.
The point is, they wouldn’t be putting themselves through this unless the policy views they share with Trump were sincere and well thought out.
Listen to their statement where they contrast the Biden/Harris policies with Trump’s and explain why they morally had no choice but to switch sides. These are sincere and serious people and they truly get Trump.
Now, compare that to the pool of bureaucrats a new Republican POTUS would draw from.. many left over from the Bush days ..many who call themselves Republicans but turned a blind eye while the Democrats impeached Trump twice, stole an election from him, tried put him in jail, tried to kill him.
How do we know they are sincere? How do we know they are not RINOs, globalists and Neocons?
Of course, Kennedy and Gabbard have policy differences - they have both admitted to such - but when it comes to showing your true colors - I trust these two Democrats FAR mor than I trust most of these Republicans.
Anyone can call himself a Republican - that in itself means nothing. Actions speak louder than words - these two Democrats have taken action.
