Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2024?

I haven’t heard much about this potential ticket in 2024, but I think it’s worth some consideration and discussion.

Hanna Trudo, writing for “The Hill,” TheHill.com website, reported that RFK Jr. said, “‘I’m proud that President Trump likes me.’”

No wonder the democrat powers that be are treating RFK Jr. like the plague! At least like a plague they weren’t responsible for! Ouch!

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. [has] refused to criticize former President Trump…, and said he was flattered by recent comments from Trump praising him as a ‘common-sense guy.’”

“Asked by moderator Elizabeth Vargas [during a NewsNation town hall event] what Kennedy thinks about Trump, Kennedy said, ‘I’m not going to attack other people personally.’”

“He then went a step further, expressing pride that he has received positive affirmations recently from Trump, who is embroiled in legal troubles as the leading Republican presidential contender in the GOP primary. He also referred to the former president in present tense.”

‘“I’m proud that President Trump likes me,’ he said.”

“Trump was the latest figure on the right to defend Kennedy in an appearance this week on ‘The Howie Carr Show.’”

‘“Just hang in,’ Trump advised Kennedy. ‘He’s been very nice to me, I’ve actually had a very nice relationship with him over the years. He’s a very smart guy, and a good guy.’”

‘“He’s a common sense guy and so am I. So, whether you’re conservative or liberal, common sense is common sense,’ he added.”

Wow. “Commons sense” and democrat have typically been mutually exclusive terms in recent years. Although I have to believe there are still some democrats out there who haven’t completely lost it, like most of their counterparts.  

“Kennedy avoiding the opportunity to criticize Trump was the latest sign that the presidential contender is walking a fine line between both the Democratic and Republican parties.”

“Some Democrats are worried Kennedy could run as an independent in the general election, potentially pulling votes from Biden and helping Trump.”

I seriously doubt that RFK Jr. would run as an independent, but I believe he might consider a run with Donald Trump.

And I believe former President Trump could see the value of bringing RFK Jr. on board with him.

Any other vice presidential candidate he could select from the republicans would not really have the capability of expanding his voting base. RFK Jr., who has been polling quite well, could potentially bring an additional 10% block of voters, or more, to Trump’s campaign.

This valuable 10% could be a big enough voting group to counteract an attempt by the democrats to steal another election.

The Kennedy name still carries some weight among democrats, independents, and even some conservatives.

Many conservatives would say this may be a four year answer, but what about the four years after that? My answer would be we can’t lose the next election worrying about the 2028 election.

RFK Jr.’s stance may differ from Trump’s and conservatives on some issues, but I believe they have more in common than not. And who says a VP has to be in complete lockstep with The President?

“Kennedy’s approach to Trump is markedly different approach than Biden and the majority of Democrats, who have cast the former president as a threat to the constitution and democracy.”

It is common knowledge that RFK Jr. is no friend of “the deep state,” in keeping with his father’s beliefs, as well as his uncle’s, JFK’s, beliefs.

The rift between Bobby Kennedy and J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI at the time, is well documented.

Robert Kennedy Jr. would fit right in with Trump and his efforts to cleanse the government’s agencies of little dictators who believe they are above the law and above the scrutiny of the people’s elected representatives.  

I would support a Trump/RFK Jr. ticket, and I hope former President Trump gives this ticket some serious consideration.
