I KIND OF LIKE R.F.K., JR. He’s principled and gutsy. I don’t like it when Trump mouths off too much. In fact, at times, I believe it may be a blessing in disguise that he has been ‘gagged’ by that idiot New York judge. But R.F.K., Jr. said something not too long ago that I could foresee invoking Trump’s rage: he would view it as a betrayal. He was upset that R.F.K. had told the press Trump’s inner circle had spoken to him about possibly being his running mate.
They could’ve made an interesting and formidable team. There’s something for everyone, liberals and conservatives alike. And it would make a powerful statement about Trump’s mistakes during the Covid pandemic. Note I am not suggesting at all that Trump’s intentions were negligent or malicious. He wasn’t given accurate information, of course, thanks to Dr. Fauci and his Wuhan connections, and good data may not have even been available, but R.F.K. would’ve been suspicious of such a ‘vaccine’ instantly and innately, and it may have saved lives.
Having R.F.K. on the ticket could have been a way for Trump to tacitly acknowledge his (however understandable) lapse in judgment over Covid without having to openly admit it. It would show Trump is both educable and beyond party politics in keeping Americans safe. Besides, veeps don’t make policy choices, so forget about any climate change scams.
But Trump being Trump, he didn’t appreciate his private thoughts being made public, however cryptically. I believe his team did discuss the possibility of R.F.K. being on the ticket. I cannot determine if Trump’s possible overture was summarily dismissed by R.F.K. or left as a possibility later on, though he obviously wants voters to believe he won’t take second-best because he will win. I believe Trump has purposely and wisely kept his options open, talking to anyone who made it to his short list.
Once R.F.K. betrayed him, however, Trump went on the defensive by first, calling him very liberal, suggesting he wouldn’t have ever have been considered by Trump at all, and second, claiming R.F.K. was a “Democrat plant,” adding he would even “take Biden” over R.F.K. I highly doubt it. R.F.K. is more liberal than Trump, to be sure, but he isn’t a vengeful man recklessly engaging in high-stakes extrajudicial lawfare against Trump and the United States like Biden is. And it is notable R.F.K. is more likely to take votes from Biden than Trump—so much so, it appears Biden has not only stupidly and dangerously denied R.F.K. Secret Service protection, he praised him with damnation, calling him “conservative.”
R.F.K.’s newly-announced running mate, tech industry entrepreneur and lawyer Nicole Shanahan, apparently doesn’t think he’s all that conservative or it’s doubtful the radical left liberal would pony up her big bucks to get them on ballots nationwide, even if she has been relegated to a Biden-like basement to prevent Biden-like gaffs. For his part, Biden ‘thinks’ (sort of) it was a good idea to get the Kennedy clan to denounce and condemn one of their own.
