1. Hah! Yes.please!

[arlyellowdog]

2. No because there's no money in it

PeterTheil likes Vance. Also, Vance is a fall guy for a loss.

[a kennedy]

3. Can he do that???

I know I shouldn’t make disparaging remarks about RFK jr…….but I just can not listen to his voice, sorry I just can’t.

[getagrip_already]

13. Yes, none of the state deadlines for declaring party candidates has passed...

It would likely be a paperwork change by the rnc once they took the vote to change the ticket.

But it wont happen. Tsf just doesnt care, and would never admit a vp choice could help him.

He helps the vp, not the other way around.

[Jack Valentino]

38. Vance would have to QUIT before that could happen.

Otherwise, there's no mechanism in the party rules for the presidential nominee to kick the vp nominee off of the ticket.

[getagrip_already]

53. For god and country....

If tsf told him to, he would step aside. He will not be destroyed as long as he is loyal.

[orleans]

45. plus he's an asshole and as crazy as trump. nt (and i'm talking about kennedy)

[Bucky]

49. No, there's no legal mechanism for doing this. People saying "YES" are misinformed on how nominations work

There would have to be a convening of the Republican National Committee to vote to oust Vance--which is both legally dubious (because there are binding contracts already signed establishing his relationship and position with the RNC) and politically untenable (since his selection was ordained by the politically powerful investor/donor class of oligarchs who fund the RNC).

This fantasy of parties situationally swapping out candidates to improve their chances is the speculation of people who don't understand party dynamics and legal obligations.

[Tribetime]

4. He might be the 1 person worse than Vance.I'm all for that

[LeftInTX]

39. I know...He will scare everyone off...LOL!!!!

[DemonGoddess]

5. nope

that would mean admitting he's wrong

[Gore1FL]

6. It is unclear by what mechanism that would happen. nt

[Demobrat]

19. Vance could always drop out for the good of the country.

Hypothetically.

[Gore1FL]

26. The problem is getting a replacement and then getting that information to all of the states in a timely manner.

I don't think the RNC and/or the Trump campaign could pull it off. It would be October before they would have signs bumper stickers and buttons made.

That's several bridges too far, IMO.

[Demobrat]

35. Everything you say is no doubt correct.

Trump is nuts, though, or should I say weird, so really nothing is beyond imagining.

[mercuryblues]

52. Especially

Since Trump sucks at infrastructure week.

[LeftInTX]

44. The RNC would never approve of Kennedy. He's like a scary movie!!!

He makes Vance look good.

[Bucky]

50. LOL

good one!

[PedroXimenez]

7. i think he'll go with Tulsi Gabbard

will excite the weirdos in many ways.

[Bucky]

51. Video: Tulsi Gabbard Gets HUMILIATED By Pete Buttigieg in 2020 debate clip

[Tumbulu]

8. It was my first thought!

[Ocelot II]

9. Why, isn't Vance weird enough?

[Midnight Writer]

10. Trump knows he is cooked and he will pin the blame on Vance.

He won't want someone with Kennedy's speaking style. Or someone with Kennedy's ego.

[msongs]

14. have never actually heard him speak. have a conspiracy nut friend who tells me about rfk nt

[Wednesdays]

18. Never heard RFK Jr. speak?

Just imagine a man who gargles glass shards every morning.

[LeftInTX]

41. He was a speech issue...his voice sounds like gravel...

His voice is sooo bad, that he can't even listen to himself!

[LeftInTX]

40. Gravel, gravel, gravel, gravel....

[mucifer]

11. No trump is vain. he wouldn't accept rfk jr's cracked voice.

[Solly Mack]

12. The Infirmed and the Worm.

LMAO.

Not voting. Don't care either way. Fuck'em all.

[Maru Kitteh]

15. If he could just keep picking new people, he'd have done it at least once more already.

For lots of reasons, the first of course being attention.

[Dem4life1970]

16. RFK will upstage him too much...

...which is part of the reason that he hates Shady Vance.

[Demobrat]

17. Well there was some kind of deal made.

Kennedy didn’t endorse Trump for free. And Trump needs all the help he can get, so ….
the mind does go there.

[Uncle Joe]

20. If *rump chooses Kennedy, it will more likely be

for Secretary of Health & Human Services or Surgeon General.

Thanks for the thread msongs.

[LeftInTX]

42. This is too much! In charge of the "Diet of Worms"!!!!

They made us read a book about Martin Luther in HS. The guy was always constipated and there was this diet of worms!

[no_hypocrisy]

21. Nah. Trump's like my late father. Never makes a mistake and if he does,

he'd never admit it.

[efhmc]

23. Exactly.

[surfered]

22. Hmmmm...creepy for crazy. Not sure. One guy is a couchf***r snd the other carrys around a dead bear in trunk of his car.

[JanMichael]

24. I would not surprise me if he did

[Scrivener7]

25. Out with the creepy uterus stalker, in with the creepy brain worm guy?

This is their bench. But noooo. They're not weird.

[iemanja]

27. If he dumps Vance

It won’t be for Kennedy.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Actually, makes a lot of sense!

If you think like Trump. Kennedy name acquisition? Sure, why not? Every Democrat will vote for my ticket now.

[LeftInTX]

43. Kennedy sounds like gravel. He makes Vance look good!

[brush]

29. Doesn't matter. They're both losers, and so is the orange turd.

[Submariner]

30. Trump visiting Hyannis should go over swell

with the Kennedy clan.

[onenote]

31. Less than zero chance.

If that's even possible.

[NotASurfer]

32. People are saying the brain worm has the inside track

Compared to TFG, the worm is shorter, less photogenic, and makes TFG seem more intelligent (mostly by eating the brains of his target demographic). In short it makes TFG look good by comparison. And it's both a better communicator and less creepy than JD Vance.

[ColinC]

33. We could only be so lucky

[ecstatic]

34. Tomorrow or Friday he's going to try to commandeer the news cycle

He's not going to replace him with rfkj. It'll be tulsi.

[tinrobot]

36. Swap Couch Guy for Dead Bear/Brain Worm Guy?

Not sure who's worse.

[Sogo]

37. You need another choice:

“I don’t care. They’re both weird.”

[Buns_of_Fire]

46. Invite him to run *alongside* JD. They'd be the Trump Troika.

troi·ka (noun)
a group of three people working together, especially in an administrative or managerial capacity.

1. It would acknowledge Rump's neo-Russian roots.
2. It would lock in the weirdo vote.
3. We could actually see Harris/Walz win with all 538 electoral votes!

[edbermac]

47. No one.

Trump will look like an incompetent clown if he does.

[LeftInTX]

48. I think Trump is gonna bow out and allow Kennedy to take his place...

Of course not, but I can see some on DU predicting this. (Ala, he's leaving the country)
It would be hilarious, but it would never happen.


Heck, for those who predicted he would leave the country eight years ago, why hasn't he left?

[Mike Nelson]

54. The Vice President...

... must know how to be "Number Two" - and RFJ is not capable of doing that part of the job.
