    If RFKjr chooses Jesse Ventura, all of the conspiracy theorists are gonna love this ticket and let's be honest, there are more conspiracy theory folks on the right than there are on the left so I think this will help Joe.

    However if RFKjr gets enough electors to deprive both Biden and Trump their 270, that means means Trump would win because the vote will automatically be held in the house where the republicans have a two state majority in the state delegations

    However this is highly unlikely.

    Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering a shortlist of candidates for his running mate that includes New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, NBC News confirmed Tuesday.

    Kennedy said in an interview last month that he would likely name his VP pick within the next 30 days. That self-imposed deadline passed in early March with no announcement.

    Aaron Rodgers? LOL! The Jets must be ******** some bricks. On the other hand, maybe that's a way for them to get rid of him and start rebuilding, instead of banking their future on a has-been.

    I used to like Rodgers as a quarterback, before he went off the rails.

    RFK Jr. has succeeded getting on the in 3 states, New Hampshire, Utah and Nevada. Until he gets on more than just 3 state ballots, I’m not going to worry about who he picks for his VP. Now RFK Jr. is drawing 15% in the polls nationwide. Now that doesn’t mean much until and if RFK Jr. can get on more state ballots than he is on now.

    Maybe RFK Jr.'s people registered names of all possible VP picks on their list?


    (NewsNation) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to announce Nicole Shanahan as his running mate for his independent presidential bid, Mediaite reported.

    Mediaite uncovered what they say is the domain registration of kennedyshanahan.com, indicating active fundraising efforts with a live donation page. The domain was registered by Link Lipsitz, a senior advisor to Kennedy, Mediaite reported.

    Shanahan who is known for paying for Kennedy’s Super Bowl commercial, is expected to be formally named as the vice-presidential candidate, aligning with Kennedy on various issues crucial to their campaign.

    Additionally, Shanahan’s potential to contribute financially, particularly to the ballot access initiative, has made her an attractive choice despite concerns about her qualifications.

    The campaign only confirmed the imminent announcement, stating, “There has been a lot of speculation in the media. The official announcement will be on March 26 in Oakland. We hope to see you there.”

    I suspected that your claim in title was BS as soon as you posted it. Your sources tend to be propaganda crap in the service of the DNC.

    RFK Jr To Name Sergey Brin's Ex-Wife As Running Mate: Report
    [​IMG]
    'Sure, nobody's heard of her...but she can bankroll ballot access'

    'This according to a Saturday Mediaite report that cited "a source close to the campaign."'

    'Shanahan is a Bay Area lawyer and tech entrepreneur who's been a Democratic Party benefactor and donated to Biden's 2020 campaign. In a February Times profile, she described herself as a "progressive through and through." Aside from opening her wallet, she has no political profile whatsoever, seemingly not even having spoken out or written about issues of the day.'

    Just Last week, the fake news clowns at the New York Times 'reported that, in addition to the NFL's Rogers, Kennedy was considering former Minnesota Gov and Predator co-star Jesse Ventura.'

    ' "The campaign is also looking for a candidate who can help finance the ballot access initiative.” The campaign says that effort comes with a $15 million price tag. With under eight months to the election, he's only on four ballots: Hawaii, Nevada, New Hampshire and Utah. Multiple states require the naming of a running mate before giving approval, which is why his decision is coming soon.'

    The claim that she will be the nominee may prove inaccurate as well, but, I find it more likely than your claim.

    'The official announcement will be on March 26 in Oakland."

    'Robert F. Kennedy Jr. names tech attorney Nicole Shanahan as vice-presidential pick'
    Source: Washington Post

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that tech attorney and megadonor Nicole Shanahan would join his independent presidential ticket as his running mate, a move that would provide more ballot access to Kennedy as he pursues his long-shot bid for the White House.


    Kennedy, 70, announced his pick in her California hometown of Oakland, miles from the hub of the technology industry. Shanahan, 38, has grown to prominence as a Bay Area lawyer with deep Silicon Valley ties and was previously married to billionaire Google co-founder Sergey Brin.


    From 2013 to last year, campaign finance records show Shanahan, who has remained relatively unknown in politics, supported Democrats and made a $25,000 donation in 2020 to support President Biden. She has also donated millions to Kennedy’s campaign and super PAC, and made headlines after contributing $4 million to a commercial that ran for him during the Super Bowl.


    Some Kennedy supporters argue that Shanahan, who is the daughter of Chinese immigrants, could help him appeal to younger voters and women, and strengthen his viability as a third-party candidate against the presumptive nominees, Republican Donald Trump and President Biden, a Democrat'.

    I wonder if he's gonna take more votes from Biden or Trump. I think people that are NEVER TRUMP will stay NEVER TRUMP no matter how bad Dirty Joe's policies get. I think this will put a dent in Biden's votes (but probably a small one). Maybe they can do this again with the ballots like they did in 2020 and then throw anyone in jail that dares to protest over it?

    Don't worry. He's still gonna pull a good amount of votes from Dirty Joe. RFK is fulfilling his purpose.

    Definitely...
    I would expect 100s of millions of Dark Money to be funnelled to RFK's Campaign from Trump Supporters to facilitate siphoning off Biden votes in Swing States...

    So what kind of attack can we expect the DNC to hit RFK with? They can Trump/Kavanaugh/Moore him by bashing him with sexual assault and rape allegations. Or maybe they'll Russia Russia Russia pee tape Putinize him. That has been the the DNC history.

    I think it will be Trump like always. They are already comparing him to an annoying cockroach in the MSM and basically playing the angle that he's gonna end up helping Trump. I don't think they are even gonna bother to dig up dirt on RFK. I'm sure they will a little but using Trump is a much better weapon for them.

    Last night I saw on Fox that Biden has already created a committee to take down RFK. They're going after him because he takes votes away from Biden.

    RFK will reap the wrath of Biden, the DNC, and the MSM. He'll also be closely checked out by the FBI and the CIA. Hillary (in her usual MO) may claim he's a Russian agent.
