I've read before that RFK has approached both Trump and Kamala about dropping out and endorsing them in exchange for a cabinet position, although I don't know how much validity there was to those rumors. This one is interesting in that his millionaire VP candidate is recognizing that his campaign is over, and publicly speculating over dropping out and endorsing Trump. I don't see how it could hurt Trump, especially if he doesn't commit to a specific cabinet slot before the election.

Maybe name him to preside over the agency that killed his father and uncle. I can’t think of a better way to remake the CIA! The attorney general position, like his father, would be another great use of RFK’s talents. How would this impact the race? He wasn’t drawing strong numbers, 3-5 percent, but if he brings 80 percent of that to Trump, it can make a big difference in a close race. The democrat planners are already trying to figure out how to cheat their way out of this. I am confident that they will try. It’s why Trump’s victory In November must be overwhelming.

I just realized that we both have a thread on this topic.
I think Trump should name Kennedy to a key post, like AG. It would be historic that the son of RFK helps remake our broken justice system under a Trump presidency.
I also could see RFK remaking the CIA or FBI (finally scattering the deep state “to the winds”).
This is a real chance to change things. Having people like Musk, RFK and Gabbard on the team, who were opponents only 4 years ago, really helps! People of all political backgrounds are seeing the danger that a Harris/Walz would preset, and coming to the same unexpected place

I admit, I dont know enough about his adult background, but he seems like a gadfly. I am not in favor of putting him in charge of the CIA just because they killed his dad and uncle; similar for AG, big deal, your uncle gave your brother the job 60 years ago, doesnt make him qualified today. Education? HHS? Interior?

Education? HHS? Interior? I understand your point. This is not a monarchy. What I like most about RFK is his outspoken stance against forced vaccinations, and ones rolled out without proper testing. It will be tough to marry his beliefs with any current high-profile politician, including Trump, except for maybe Rand Paul. It will also be hard to wed Operation Warp Speed with his stance. Trump would need to concede that he was taken. But, RFK has all of the education credentials: Harvard, London School of Economics, and JD from University of Virginia. He is an environmental lawyer by trade. He had some skeletons. He took at job as assistant DA in NY, only to fail his bar exam and be forced to resign. He had a drug arrest in his 20s. He did go on to pass his law exam, and overcome his drug problems. He made (his own) name for himself by suing local municipalities to stop illegal pollution of rivers and waters. He has been a target of the deep state since 2005, when he first raised concerns about some of the vaccines and some of side effects shown by medical studies. A lot to consider with RFK Jr.

Education? HHS? Interior? He still is a leftist at heart -- for example, he criticized the SCOTUS decision ending affirmative action. His similarity to Trump's opinion was his populism -- anti-war, against the open border, wanting to bring back US jobs, and is also very questioning of Big Pharma. HHS might be a spot, as possibly heading the CDC to go against Big Pharma. I think there are better people for the border, although he would a political cover to deportation -- I just don't know if he'd support the deportation rate we'll need to fix what kamala broke.

That is most definitely not RFKJ's position. One of the biggest jobs the justice department has is enforcing federal environmental regulations whether they are sensible or not. It would be like inviting the fox to the hen house. Policies matter and should not be ignored when nominating people for important positions such as this. Just last week RFKJ was putting put feelers to join a Harris administration. Can't trust this guy any further than you can throw him.

He makes Garland look like a moderate.

Here's the latest from his twitter.com feed
He also pointed out the power of Wall Street (who support the Democrat Party) are buying up houses, now. Of course, he didn't say what he's going to do, but simply recognized the problem.

Trump is also having a rally in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale about 2 hours later.
