Ron Watkins asks the following in a Tweet:

If Trump wins the Republican nomination, and is disqualified later, who would the RNC choose to replace him?
I started out by thinking that is nonsense, but then it struck me that RFK just announced an independent run. An interesting dynamic could occur if this really is the plan by the RNC. They dump Trump due to some corrupt judges decision, and then Trump and RFK join up on a ticket to run as an independent team.
I still don't think it will happen, but I don't completely rule anything out these days either. We know this is a psyop with actors. Who knows what plot twists the script writers might have in store.
RFK got vaxxes right, but wrong on abortion, climate change and guns. Not a good pick. Better as DJT's head of FDA.
Or Attorney General! “My name is RFK Jr., you killed my father….. prepare to die.”.
Poetic justice right there 11832!
What bothers me about RFK’s position on these other issues is that, while he seems to be very smart, at least legally, he may not be as all that wise, just fashionably clever at gaining social acceptance and popular rank.
He certainly hasn’t applied much consideration of the consequences of banning plastics (they contaminate movver erf, you know!)
Stop and think about how our modern way of life would be impacted across all areas of activity, food, clothing, appliances, transportation, medical, etc. if plastics were banned outright. Does he really believe this is a practical idea, or is he just tossing manufactured meat products to the environmental folks?
I find him interesting to watch, but don’t trust him one bit. Too “politically correct” for my common sense earned the hard way over these past 80 years of seeing so many of us sweet talked, fooled, lied to, and manipulated against our own best interests.
It would bring forth a uniting of people from both ends of the of political ideologies.
I just kinda doubt this because the TDS is so strong with a lot of people.
I'm not saying that it will happen, but if it were to happen, it would be more unifying than not. And those unfortunate souls with TDS may be lost forever.
Can we stop circlejerking RFK Jr? He disagrees with probably anything Trump supporters do besides his stance towards Big Pharma
Highly doubt it and I actually think Trump would not pick him.
Of course not. People that don't get that have a fundamental misunderstanding of who and what Trump is and is not. It's what Trump would refer to as SAD. And they are MAGINOs.
I actually like that idea. There are a lot of disaffected leftist voters out there. Joe Biden and Kammalah are like us getting Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush. As long as the status quo exists they will never see a "true" progressive candidate win any kind of office, it will be just a bunch of woketard corporatist dems who care more about gender pronouns and virtue signalling than "meat and potato" issues that many leftist care about. Don't forget that about 15% of the Bernie Bros defected and voted Trump - about the margin we won by last time.
Totally valid theory.
I think as OP indicates, it's not necessarily set in stone, but is one potential option depending on how the cabal plays the remainder of its hand.
What I like about this storyline is it sets good foundation for passing legislation to remove the concept of political parties from our election process. The parties will have little credibility or goodwill left after pulling that stunt.
No.no. No. We need a MAGA Republican as veep.
We've never had a MAGA Republican as veep.
We need Americans in the White House, After the swamp is drained then we can argue about the little shit.
"Catturd for Veep!"
Why does it have to be republican? RFK is a MAGA democrat!
Really? RFK is MAGA? SMH....
What do you not like about RFK?
He is not pro 2A
Can you give me a link that shows that? Asking seriously because I would like to know.
He has gone back and forth on gun control. It depends on who asks him. He's consistent in saying he doesn't want to take guns away, but he waffles on gun control laws.
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4072813-rfk-jr-argues-gun-control-cannot-meaningfully-reduce-gun-violence/
Yeah, the downvote for asking for a link is really great considering this is GAW where we’ve been told to question and verify. Seems like someone got their panties in a bunch because I asked for sauce, instead of welcoming the opportunity to have an honest conversation.
And?
Former heroin addict. Overdosed on a commercial airplane in NYC. No thanks. We don’t need a former junkie in the White House or near it. Everyone here mocks Hunter for being an addict.
Friends with HRC and endorsed her twice. No thanks. If he’s buddies with demons, he’s a nonstarter.
Sauce please.
Here you go: https://www.nytimes.com/1984/02/18/us/robert-kennedy-jr-admits-he-is-guilty-in-possessing-heroin.html
Maybe you can share why you’re able to use the computer but can’t research yourself?
It was all over the news when it happened.
He pushes climate change stuff. He was an environmental lawyer for decades.
He's in favor of abortions.
https://www.wmur.com/article/kennedy-abortion-gun-control-nuclear-power/44273836
He approves of gun control laws. He doesn't support taking guns away, but he wants to make it hard to get them.
Have you really never read anything about him?
Yep, all mockingbird media stuff, like they did with DJT, so I take with a grain of salt. I’m aware that he’s an environmental lawyer, bug ag isn’t sustainable and is really not that great. He isn’t into the climate chsnge bs. Link for you. https://www.realclearenergy.org/2023/07/19/rfk_jr_climate_change_being_used_to_control_us_966636.html
These are things he's said. What do you want, him to personally make a blood vow to you that he means them?
You ask for the sauce, and when someone goes to the trouble of whipping some up for you, you go, eh, I don't like this sauce. Make me some more.
These are the three biggest voting points for presidential candidates right now. You think RFK Jr. is going to just sit back and let the MSM lie about these voting topics without making a stink?
He probably has his answers to these questions on his campaign page. Or on his blog. Or his twitter account. Or hell, in some of the books he's written on the subject. And if you don't trust what he says on his campaign page and his blog, and on twitter, and in his books, go look up videos of town halls and interviews he's done about them. And then, you know, watch the videos.
And just because he says that people are using climate change to try to control people doesn't mean he thinks climate change is fake. He wants to impose all sorts of laws and fines on certain businesses because he thinks they're leading to climate change. Did you even bother to read the article you linked? Because in that very article, he says:
And why can't you look this stuff up yourself? Do you not know how to?
I honestly would like to know why you can't figure out how to look up something as easy as a presidential candidate's stances on the three most controversial topics right now. Which means the three most discussed topics and a man who has gotten a ton of coverage. He's a Kennedy, for crying out loud. He's lived his entire life in the public eye. It's not like he's Joe Blow from some podunk place no one has ever heard of. He's a public figure. But you couldn't find any of this info on him yourself?
What exactly did you do to find these answers for yourself before you started treating people here like they're your personal secretaries? Walk me through the steps you took before you gave up on searching for things yourself.
Because I have to wonder at the utter incompetence of someone who can't find any info on this stuff without asking others to do it for them. You should have come across some of it just by NOT living under a rock the past few years.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. It's from the mocking bird media. But they sourced it from one of his own blogs, so you can go look for his blog to get your sauce for the sauce. It will be good practice for you, I think, to look up something all by yourself like a big boy.
How can someone be a MAGA democrat? Serious question.
Not sure why you got so many down votes. But, you got my upvote! Plus, I think a women VP, if possible, would be best. I believe we need to bring strong MAGA women to the forefront of our movement and government.
Ps a REAL woman 🤓
We need the best candidate for VP and that may not be a woman. I like Kari Lake but I’m still holding out hope that she wins her case and becomes governor.
I agree with the best person for the job but we have some women that would fit that bill. Like Kristi Noem for instance.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Oooo! Nice choice!
I really thought she was the sharpest of DJT’s press people. Loved her witty comebacks. But she’s a governor now so I don’t think will happen. We need strong governors to hold off the feds when they get out of control.
Maybe I am bonkers here but with RFK Jr. runs as independent, and if Trump is not shammed by shit show judge, that would take a ton of votes away from Dem candidate, more than away from Trump.
If Trump is railroaded I'm not sure it matters who the president is. It's hard to believe but our current form of government as it is now is on it's last leg. Those alive today will see the end of the US as we know it.
I don't think RFK Jr is that popular among democrats. He is very critical of all vaccines, and has been for a long time. Remember that controversial feature in Rolling Stone magazine? That pissed off every democrat I know, and I don't think his reputation has improved much since then.
I'm rethinking my understanding of the affect that RFK Jr. running as independent would have after reading this Sundance article.
My thoughts are the same today as they were when we first discussed RFK Jr.
None of the Lightbringer’s supporters/voters and ballot harvesters are going to support RFK Jr. None of the leftists who follow social media or traditional media influence operations, the sheeple masses, are going to vote for RFK Jr. None of the party Democrats are going to vote for RFK Jr. None of the Gavin Newsom supporters are going to support RFK Jr.
So, who will vote for RFK Jr?
ANSWER: Two core groups.
#1) Ron DeSantis supporters. When RdS drops out, his coalition of support, the Never Trump Republicans, will flow to RFK Jr.
#2) Approximately one-third of unregistered, unaffiliated or what we would call “independent” voters. About a third of them.
Independents will fracture into three subsets. Approximately 1/3 supporting Gavin Newsom. Approximately 1/3 supporting Donald Trump. Approximately 1/3 supporting Robert Kennedy Jr.
With DeSantis Republicans and one-third of independent voters, that’s the RFK Jr. coalition.
As I said from the outset, RFK Jr. is the intelligence community insurance policy against the threat of Donald Trump.
RFK Jr. running as an independent will tilt the election to Gavin Newsom.
No stop the hopium is too much! I might OD!
Why the hell would we want RFK Jr. as VP?
He pushes climate change. He was an environmental lawyer for decades.
He approves of abortions.
He's in favor of gun control. He says he doesn't want to take guns away, but he is in favor of gun control.
https://www.wmur.com/amp/article/kennedy-abortion-gun-control-nuclear-power/44273836
But we're supposed to ignore all that? Why? Because he's against vaccines?
That’s exactly what I think will happen. The RNC will figure out some BS and disqualify Trump from being the front runner. DJT/RFK.
The perfect storm?
I think so, hope so. It would decimate the two party system and force people to look really hard at the candidates and their values. No more uniparty.
