No way absolutely unacceptable.
let’s just hope that “help” is a relative term.
Boy, today just keeps on kicking me in the stones!
Wear a cup.
Lincoln famously brought together a “team of rivals” for his cabinet, and Jr. earlier referenced that, and said PDJT had brought that up.
Frankly, I think this is a GOOD thing.
What PDJT is going to do, what circumstances are going to force him to do, is going to require a LOT of support, and not just from those of us who self- identify as MAGA.
He’s going to have to have to hit back, HARD against our enemies,….REAL hard.
He is going to purge the Conmunists, cast out the Marxists, etc. and break their stranglehold on all of our Institutions, while simultaneously reversing the exfiltration of wealth,…AND engaging in the largest mass deportation in human history.
He can not do that,…alone.
Having a Unity Cabinet, with a few prominent Democrats who condemn the Marxists that have taken over their party, will give him some armor, some protection against the mountains of hatred and angst his enemies will try to pile on him.
They are already prepping the field, with all of their “if he gets in, he will jail his enemies” etc.
He is proactively preparing to show how absurd those accusations are,…
Let the man work, and quit nit-picking.
I prefer, and am less skeptical, when PDJT announces who will be joining him on the transition team, since he’s the boss. He knows where the microphone is.
I remain skeptical but I’m a general outlier to the population of this forum and conservatives.
What did Junior do today to square away his name on state ballots and rally his ‘voters’ to PDJT?
Yeah Trump knows how to utilize peoples skills. Personally I hope he listens to RFK Jr about vaccines and big pharma big agra. And little else.
I do think Kennedy is also right on with respect to chronic health conditions in children. I am very suspect of all of a sudden a child with learning problems or inability to “socialize” are always diagnosed with some form of autism. It just happened to my s-i-l’s 4 yr old grandson. He’s very shy but he was restricted from being around other kids during COVID. But his “counselors” at school have diagnosed him as autistic because he’s shy. WTF do they know?
I agree with Dutchman that President Trump can’t do this alone. We have often discussed the monumental job that cleaning up the corruption will be. I think back to President Trump’s first term and how I thought it was going to be a regular first term, even though he talked about draining the swamp.
And then I saw what they did to him. It’s even worse now.
But your question at the end has been my question. I understand the need for different sides to join together. But why isn’t he doing this? Am I making a big deal out of nothing?
Tulsa Gabbard just endorsed him today. Elon Musk is on his side. He’s patched things up with Gov. Kemp. I think the movement is coming this way away from Democrats. The media is losing the afterglow of a Convention that talked like DJT was still in office & the last 3-1/2 yrs is his fault. Trump is busy winning over the youth.
Anybody helping Trump get elected–even just voting for him–is help we didn’t have in 2020.
Are you sure about Kemp?
I’m not…
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/dirty-brian-kemp-asks-georgia-ag-if-he/
Yes.. I saw that today also. I think DJT said something good about Kemp but not sure why.. he’s an enemy far as I’m concerned.
Gov Kemp is not patchable
NO WAY do I trust Kemp. He is an opportunist
100% correct. Pres Trump needs fighters like himself to help. I don’t care what letter they have after their name.
As long as they aren’t fighting for the 4th Branch. My gut tells me RFK Jr is acting pretty shifty. My gut is right more often than not.
CTH is a great resource to bring factual details to light and I’m in the examination mode, watching to see who does what.
So far it appears I witnessed Junior announcing his ‘deal’ with PDJT before PDJT announced it and now announced his position on the transition team before PDJT announced it.
Something about that matches up with ‘shifty’ in my book, as your ‘gut’ is apparently telling you, perhaps about that or perhaps about something else.
In any event, more information is good information. Thanks CTH 👍
Actually, it’s a way for PDJT to test ideas before announcing them himself. Gives him a little bit of shielding. He can let RFK make an announcement (presumably one they both have previously agreed upon) and then wait for the reaction. If there’s not a lot of pushback from MAGA’s then Trump can confirm the statement. If it looks like a bad decision Trump can then say something to the effect of “Well, that’s not exactly what I had in mind…”
So perhaps it’s a safe way to test the waters, just like he allowed Vance to say Trump would oppose a Federal abortion ban.
He’s learned to play the game better and he’s doing what he needs to do to appeal to the largest possible voting block without selling-out.
WE HAVE TO WIN IN NOVEMBER!
Period. Full Stop.
But not when your brain is hijacking your gut.
Thank you so much for such a lucid cogent explanation of what’s at stake.
US Military insisted they would not permit a civil war to erupt…. and this transition team is one among many things that can help prevent one.
Someone or another recently stated, “Trump is NOT a Republican. Trump is a populist nationalist!
Plenty of Americans will soon wake up to the degree that they no longer consider themselves Republicans or Democrats and would NEVER align with marxist commies
Steve Bannon.
The US military has no role, none, nada in domestic politics or policy.
That is why we have civilian control of the military by our Constitution.
Show me a cite of any military member making any such statement about civil war……..they would be extremely out of line to make any statement at all on the subject.
Let’s hope, no lets pray irritable that the folks in uniform stay in their legal lane.
I read all the comments so far. Yours has the most common sense.
Thank you Dutch for your enduring wisdom!!!
Forgive my curbed enthusiasm, dutch. I have a problem with bitterness that I have prayed the Creator release me from.
I forgive but never forget sh!t talkers and double crossers, cheatin’ women and bitin’ dogs.
….and dogs that won’t hunt. Right there with ya New Florida.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion dutch.
The banshees are going to wail no matter what, if as we all hope, President Trump starts swinging the axe.
Won’t matter one bit how many blue dogs that he can point to on his “team”.
I trust President Donald Trump and no one else to start righting the ship.
He’d do better enlisting the names of people out of the phone book rather than going into the snakes den of the Uniparty to fill his cabinet.
That’s the opinion of a battle scarred conservative who has witnessed little toads like Vindmann poison the inner sanctum of the first administration.
Yep.
I agree. I could accept a very narrowly defined set of responsibilities much better than using him on the team that will be responsible for identifying the true warriors willing and committed to implementing the MAGA policies PDJT has presented beginning the very moment PDJT is sworn in.
Whatever Kennedy is, he’s no longer in the Uniparty.
Lincoln’s cabinet is hardly something worthy of emulation. Hitting back hard requires experienced loyalists ready to do what is required in a very short period of time. “Unity government” with a “few prominent” certainly has some utility. Sandbagging does not. This is a move requiring careful management. Current transition team looks weak.
Note Delecto and Bush aides are now supporting Kamala. Best they can do I suppose.
Lincoln’s cabinet was a joke.
His Veep did a bang up job with Reconstruction, one of the driving forces behind formation of the Klan..
There are already rumblings of “we won’t certify” coming from the Demoncrats in Congress. Having prominent Demoncrats as part of the transition team will definitely make that kind of nonsense a LOT harder to pull off.
I agree with what you say.
I’ve said same over and over but nit-pickers just won’t let it be ☹️..🤷🏻♂️
🇺🇸💪😀👍
I don’t think it is “nit-picking” when the personnel put into the administration during PDJT’s previous 4 years were an outright disaster.
IMO, it is a major error to give too much influence to a person who has stated he disagrees with some of PDJT’s positions and who, at heart, loves the democrat party. Even RFKJr’s decision to support PDJT was obviously a tortured decision. He STILL loves the democrat party and adamantly supports some of that party’s totalitarian goals. What he wants most is to simply tweak some of the most glaring atrocious tactics they use. That means all his advice needs to be very heavily discounted.
With the camel’s nose in the tent rooting around, a lot of damage can be done. Don’t forget he already released one private conversation with PDJT. How many more strategic decisons can be revealed as the camel’s nose gets further and further inside.
I do not think putting him on the transition team includes any in-depth verifying at this point in the process.
Very well stated. I honestly couldn’t tell you if RFK is good, bad, or somewhere in between. What I can say is that my time spent on this site over the past 12+ years, as well as my life experiences from a 25 year old to the person I am today, has changed my views on politics dramatically.
There is so much division and hatred in this country, and the fed gov is so far beyond gone, that it will take a massive coalition of citizens to burn out the evil that has corrupted basically every facet of our government and society. Maybe RFK is just some deep state insurance plan, but it should be clear to most by now that Donald Trump alone isn’t going to be able to fix our broken and incredibly corrupt system of government.
Thanks Dutchman! I needed that reality check!
I don’t like that idea at all, Trump chooses, maybe with some help in regards to RFK Jr’s expertise, people that he has worked with doing investigations into Big Pharma.
Is Bobby getting full of himself already?
Steroids do that to people..
Sorry, but you are wrong. He and Casey & Calley Means are already key to transforming the country back into what the Founders gave us. Plus, RFK, Jr. and Trump are practically the only people who aren’t involved with Bohemian Grove (a VERY important qualificaton).
Pardon me but I have never ever heard RFK jr mouth the words “make America great again” or ever display any sentiment that would align with President Trump’s and the MAGA movement goals…….
All of Kennedy’s stated goals in the past are progressive (communist) goals of climate change, repeal the 2nd amendment and bigger government and more government control.
Vaccines and children’s health, corruption and contaminated food chain are the only issues they agree upon.
Moreover RFKjr has clearly stated that he disagrees with President Trump on a lot of issues.
It is imperative when analyzing these politicians not to speculate on what they can do or should do or what they say…….placing your hopes on what you wish a politician would do is dreaming. Watch what they do and what they have done in the past.
Everyone is hoping Kennedy has changed his spots…….I see a progressive with a history ….
…and today he was speaking out of turn and trying to influence and set policy decisions that rightfully belong to President Trump and are President Trump’s announcements to make.
Leave that hopey changey BS to the dims…..prove yourself and earn respect by actions.
We’ve heard all this before, “as soon as Sessions is confirmed, we’re really gonna clean house” 🤔
R’uh R’oh
Oh my.
Ummmm…Just NO!!!
I think his role in the selection committee will be limited to health related, the border, and foreign policy related personnel because that is where him and Trump agree. Economically Robert is a leftist, so he won’t have a role in picking anyone that influences the economy imo.
Correct I interpret it to mean stay in his lane
And where does EPA Administrator fall in that scenario?
Kennedy was an environmental lawyer and all in on the man-made climate change bs. Need to keep him away from the EPA.
The border is an existential issue. Without this being resolved the rest doesn’t matter. RFK should not have a role in non medical issues.
RFKjr stated that the border is an issue on which he agrees with President Trump. He explicitly said that in a lengthy interview with Tucker Carlson.
Talk vs actions…….
He is already talking out of turn……
You decide.
He’s not a doctor. He is a successful litigator in health lawsuits. But even that doesn’t make him a medical expert.
I suspect the appointment to the Transition Team (not a cabinet position for those freaking out) is more about optics than any real power position within Team Trump. Time will tell.
Oh jeez….here we go again…
Alluded to this in a post yesterday.
RFK Jr has been inserted to “manage” President Trump in the event TPTB cannot credibly give the win to Kamala.
Which will be shown, by the Sept 10th debate decision. If Kammy doesn’t debate, then she has the election in the bag. If however, Kammy caves to Trump’s demands, then that shows that she is behind in the polls, and must debate.
The other possibility, would be that Kammy is the whipping post candidate. One that was chosen and paid off to take the fall, and let Trump win, because TPTB might care that the American voter might see the CHEAT play out. This is the least likely outcome, IMO, or like you said.
No, to trash the economy under him, then he gets the blame.
Yes, but if I remember correctly, the federal reserve never lower rates under Trump, and his economy was probably the best ever. The two things Trump did to stimulate the US economy, were the lowering of personal and corporate tax rates, and the tariffs that were imposed on imported goods.
Drill baby drill, was also essential. It lowered the cost of gas, diesel, and natural gas. Which also produced two things, cheaper electricity and huge revenues for the federal and state governments, thru the taxes and royalties on the oil and gas production.
Comrade Kamala was NEVER ahead in the Polls.
“Trump’s demands”?? All he asks is that she live up to rules already agreed to, by both campaigns. It is Kamala who now all of a sudden wants to debate sitting down, to have notes, and keep mics open, all a setup which are not the rules already agreed to.
Would “Terms” be better?
I was just trying to show that which decision that is made, means who is ahead in the race. But yes, both sides are offering new terms or demands, which should’ve been done, anyways, since the original agreement was between Trump and Biden.
Personally, I feel that there won’t be a debate at all, but time will tell, eh?
I respectfully disagree. RFK2 is calling out the “DEMS” and trying to unify America. Of course RFK2 and PDJT do not agree on ALL the issues. The time is now to unite for making America Great Again. So far, we have RFK2, Tulsi, and I do believe more will come aboard the Trump Train. PDJT is the only one who can restore Our Country to the Constitutional Republic it was/is meant to be.
IT’S NOW. OR FOREVER WE ARE NO LONGER THE BEACON OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY FOR ALL. The end of Our Country??? We can never let that happen.
We are nit pickers. We don’t trust anyone. We cannot save this country as long as we are divided. We need help from the moderates. The country does not like a far left or far right government. If the dem commies are not willing to move to the center, then we must and if we do, we can save this republic.
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Some of yall act like RFK is the most powerful man in the world and can take over MAGA. Get a grip.
Kindly go to Minute 13 of that interview, where he trashes President Trump and J6. Then tell me again to “get a grip.”
I heard that and didn’t like it – but who knows what he’s learned about what really happened that day? I don’t know what he knows.
What I do know is then when you get past that there is common ground with me – the health of the children, the poisoning of our food supply, the STUPID and expensive environmental initiatives that are at the expense of we taxpayers for the profit of Blackrock and other friends of rats. I’m sick of it! I’m more sick of that then whether or not he likes what happened on J6.
That was awkward for Kennedy to say, considering he is supposedly in the transition team. Not like it was something he was asked about — he just tossed it in. No upside I can see, and much downside.
The upside is that it was a bone thrown to voters who have not gotten past the propaganda about J6 to be open to voting for Trump.
Yep, reviewing the Commie consolidator I track daily for MSM headlines, the only Junior headline I’ve found so far isn’t even about him, rather about his daughter ‘Kick’ who’s rumored to be dating Ben Afflick.
👍
He’s a stealth asset to PDJT, apparently.
Who is tptb?
The Powers That Be
When I type those letters, I have my devices set to say:
The Powers That (Should Not) Be
The powers that be
Dejavue all over again. Sigh
The red flag for me was when he said what President Trump did on J6 was reprehensible. I do not understand why he is anywhere near President Trump. And he has kept his name on the ballot in the red and blue states because if the electoral college is tied he could become President.
I do not trust this man at all. Now that I think of it, he is one big red flag.
Me neither, I do not trust Kennedy one bit. His timing on all of this is way suspect. After the Democratic convention and past most ballot deadlines for removal.
The huge red flag, to me, is the fact that Kennedy is a know anti vaxxer, probably the biggest, but he teams up with Trump, who claimed the vaccine as a personal achievement, but hasn’t claimed that about the vaccine, in well over a year.
Those are two glaring opposites.
Not what I want to hear.
We will see what his “help” looks like. I can’t imagine Trump or anyone near him will give away any position to someone who they do not know personally that hasn’t been vetted.
And that, right there, is why no one should trust RFK Jr. People should see that as a huge red flag.
Trust but verify.
He likely wants jobs for his own campaign staff in Trump’s administration.
What picks will Tulsi get to make??
There seems to be a lot of Jeff Sessions vibe going on around here re rfk jr.
Personally I just don’t see it. I was not a fan of his over the years, viewed him as entitled bad boy with meglamaniac tendencies like rest of the family . People do in fact change. God does enter their lives.
Time of course will tell but I’m inclined to let the leash go a bit further with him at present
I dont hate RFK voters.
his feedback couldnt hurt. FISAs are already happening and worse.
this is a time of public showing – in the open talking. no place for anyone to hide and pretend.
Ok that worries me. I hope Trump team is not being too naive about RFKJR. Clear-eyes needed here and proceed w caution. Surely a limited role?
I think the “Trump Team” is the problem.
That’s what’s worrisome.
Last time it was Ivanka and her fam……….
Your concern is noted.
Advice is not consent. President Trump has to get elected first in order to do anything. I’ll trust him to give JFK jr gutter guards to keep in the MAGA alley. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good President Trump will accomplish once in office! JMO
Has anyone laid out the ways RFK coud hurt us and how to block them?
most of the negatives are with his VP (if she did demand an apology for Warp Speed to be soundbited acrosss Fake News for months)
I’m old and not an especially deep thinker but the word ‘mole‘ comes to mind. I’m more concerned about Junior’s handlers and confidants and their associations with the Communists.
PDJT had many moles in his first administration. If it were a golf course, Caddyshack wouldn’t have done it justice.
One way to block moles is with a very suspicious cat 👍
Relax Francis.
President Trump’s strength is in his ready formation of personal relationships. Kim, who Obama expected to start a war, became PDJT’s new best bud and everything calmed down. Although those personal relationships that he forms are his greatest strength, they are also his greatest weakness because it appears his personal loyalty to longtime friends sometimes limits his ability to see those friends’ shortcomings.
No matter what, my vote is still for President Trump.
This is the antidote to Vance immaturity
That’s the perfect description for Mr. Vance. RFK Jr. is just lost. We’ll need to manage both accordingly.
So long as he is limited to /stays in his lane of health-related things, he should be fine. He will need tough lawyers to go after the many scoundrels. Remember, he is also working to build his personal legacy (because being President is not in the cards). He needs to let Trump take all of the arrows and focus on his job and its successes. he has so many receipts on dirty people, he should be protected.
Health, childhood vaccination mandates, fine. Just don’t make RFK Jr the head of the EPA.
We’ll get Ed Dowd and the Gateway Pundit guy. He gets a power position and national/international platform. He’s obviously not shy about expressing his many disagreements with PDJT. If you think that is not going to be exploited by him and others acting through him, that is naive. 4 years later he will be taking Vance (who he will easily eclipse) apart on behalf of the “new” Democrats with insider knowledge.
Just because Trump names someone to his team does not mean he is turning control over to that person. You either trust President Trump, or you don’t. As always, he makes the final decisions.
Amen!
The problem is the knowledge gained by someone who loves the democrat party and his deepest wish and goal is for it to be reformed in a few ways.
Of course, knowledge he gains will be shared, revealed, leaked and used to accomplish that goal.
Just as he attempted to work with Kamala’s groupies and only moved to PDJT when he was rebuffed. I believe he WILL go back to it.
I trust Trump to have already considered everything you said.
C’mon baby light my fire. Let’s just hope he is given low-tier positions to fill with his picks. Or this is RFK trying to make himself seem in charge without actually being in charge.
These IC types got some nerve at times.
I do not see this as a problem. We need all voices if we want to really have the country work. We can’t be stuck in a 50% country, we want all people to be able to speak. I think that he’ll be doing stuff in the team that would be health, etc. I’m not at all worried. I also hope he allows Tulsi to consult on some foreign policy, she has the chops to do it
Trust Trump is right!
Help pick Trump staff and Cabinet – NO NO NO!!!
We all thought Jeff Sessions was a great pick, how’d that turn out?
Personally I don’t think either PDJT or RFK, Jr. give f$&@ if the Uniparty likes or supports who they think should be in a position.
PDJT already said this time he knows who everyone is in DC. His first term he relied heavily on the advice of those he thought were on team MAGA when really they were just CONservatives.
RFK, Jr. has already said they (him and PDJT) have areas where they are aligned and areas where they agree to disagree.
I think PDJT, with the power of the Supreme Court holding that says he is the Executive Branch, can lay some ground rules for cabinet positions where he says you can do whatever up to this point or you’re fire – they know he will fire them.
At the end of the day, it’s about getting elected, getting regulations torn up and pushing through good legislation — you’re only gonna do they with some give and take. The key is to make your loses wins or better yet, the appearance of losing when your give away were something you would’ve accepted anyway.
I knew Sessions was a CS’er for his stance on medical cannabis.
The ghost of Amy Winehouse? Is that you?
His views on J6 are uninformed, Democrat propaganda. He says that President Trump was at fault and that it was the worst day. But, the US was never in jeopardy.
I imagined, listening to that, PDJT giving Vance the job of sitting RFKJr down and schooling him on what actually happened on J6 and J13 – perhaps with Julie Kelly, Mike Benz, Dan Bongino in attendance and assistance.
Then PDJT can bring in Peter Navarro to school Vance, in turn, on what tariffs are actually about.
Lotsa schoolin’ will be needed.
If he did in fact say that, he needs to go. Period. I will not support anyone who would think that much less say it out loud.
I figured everyone here would go apoplectic over this, but given polls showed RFK drew from Trump supporters more than Harris supporters – I have no problem with this. If RDS had won the primaries I likely would have voted for RFK -my only real issue with him is his believe climate change is man made. Trump is putting together a different kind of Republican party and I am cognizant that a lot of Democrats became Republicans over the years – two main people being Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Trump is not going to bring the same ole GOP people into this new administration – we are seeing a major new shift in the party and hopefully that will help shift out country more toward what it used to be.
You all need to read ‘180 Degrees’. By Fergus O’Connor Greenwood
If it’s size is intimidating then start with ‘Official Stories’ by Liam Schiff.
Some critical thinking is needed here and it seems to be sorely lacking.
Is that what they told you, Bobby?
I hope RFK jr has some hardcore supporters who wouldn’t have voted for President Trump but now will. Frankly I have no sense of whether this is a meaningful number, I don’t know who was with him. Was he peeling off never Trumpers or Dems sick of their party. Did he just represent protest voters, will they vote for President Trump now. Wish I knew.
I think among his followers are a lot of the non conservative people that got burned by the Vaxholes during C19. Probably some older, classical liberal types and Blue Dog Dems, too.
Et tu Brian, who only last week endorsed PDJT.

Now that was a fully fake endorsement.
This is a good thing! The WHO, NIH, CDC and the FN (Fake News) are all hellbent on the next scamdemic and Junior is the guy best situated to foil their plans. The Very Stable Genius will keep him occupied on that front. There is no other issue that requires his input.
This goes too far too fast. I’d rather see a transition team with people like Matt Gaetz.
I’ll add that I would have hoped that most major positions would have already been selected by now.
Tony Baloney Fauci is in hiding, the twerp knows what’s coming.
I just finished watching this on Rumble, and liked it very much. Especially the last 30 min. Wish more people were open minded to what is said, and not stuck in the red vs blue aspect. We need to save our Country. MAGA
Three things good about RFK Jr, his stance on vaccines, the FDA and that he believes Vance is intelligence community beholden.
Jesus is Lord. Thank God for that fact. He deposes kings and raises up others. All for His glory and our good. RFK Jr. has nothing to do with it.
I agree! If you are a Christian who truly believes that God has his hand on Trump and this country, then have a little faith and trust in God to guide Trump. Meanwhile, pray and ask God to lead and guide you in this battle!
Some people are skeptical some are trying to undermine us. Until/unless the people coming together to MAGA are found to be undermining us, we welcome them.
It’s not a horribly bad choice. What has the Republican Party done for me. Not a damn thing in recent history.
A good leader will bring together talented to people to drive results. I wish DJT the best. Hopefully be brings people to the table that have an ax to grind and destroy both political parties and the bureaucratic deep state.
Kennedy lost me at 14 minute mark talking about J6 events. While I respect him for his commitment to public health, if he is unable or unwilling to understand the deep state machinations that led to J6 engineered chaos, how is he expected to outmaneuver them when in a position of power? Maybe he understands the medical bureaucracy better than the broader deep state nexus that is the real danger to this country and globally. He’s either pretending (because his grasp of the censorship apparatus seems close to reality) or just naive. In either case, not competent.
He did not need to call President Trump, “Reprehensible.”
That is unsettling
Excellent move. Establishments worst nightmare. Friday through the weekend was EPIC, the social media activity was off the charts, completely overshadowed, if not demolished the DNC convention and the Comrade K speech. Timing was perfect, classic Trump. Art of the Deal in action.
RFK Jr is passionate about the health / food issues above all else, I expect his input will be limited to these areas. Other members of the transition team will deal with the rest.
This also sends a clear message to RFK Jr supporters especially ones who still need to be nudged in the Trump column, that these issues they care about – will be prioritized.
Latest data seems to suggest that up to 40%+ of RFK Jr supporters will back Trump, with a possible 20%+ persuadable. To put it another way that could translate to 3% of the RFK Jr vote transferring to Trump… That is a game changer.
I understand RFK Jr is now already off the ballot, in PA, AZ and GA and get this – Jill Stein will be on the ballot in Arizona and Wisconsin.
In addition – Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Trump today. Difficult to ascertain the benefit of this – but it is reasonable to assume that it will help with the female vote in some battleground states, like Arizona for example.
The Trump base is rock solid, this just adds even more on top. The momentum and optics look great.
Trump is expanding the map and expanding the tent. Meanwhile the Democrats are trying to solidify their base, which has fracturing due to the middle east issue. They picked Walz because they needed to give the base what it wanted, and likely concerned about Minnesota, if this starts to run away from them. You have to remember, they are clearly trying to preserve the down ballot races for senate and house, especially if the Presidency becomes out of reach. If it starts to move heavily against them, any base issues will cause a loss of senate and house seats they would ordinarily retain, it then becomes a death spiral.
There should be zero complacency, still a few months to go, and who knows what will happen next, as this has been a wild ride so far, but this is looking very encouraging. There is no question that President Trump and the Campaign has stepped up a gear and it is really paying dividends at the moment.
BTW – Echelon Insights is a Democrat friendly pollster, which were expected to drop a Harris +5 or higher poll, instead it has come out earlier today and shows a Trump lead.
There is no DNC convention bounce, it has been wiped out.
I don’t think they wanted Comrade K to debate – but she has to, she needs it more than ever. Trump doesn’t and they know it 🙂 This is not going to plan LOL!
President Trump has no issues with the women’s vote, anywhere. That is all b.s. The women’s vote has been stolen and used against us as a whip.
You misunderstand my point. He does fine with the women vote and the so called issue with suburban women is indeed nonsense and pushed by people like Steve Deace all the time, because they are dopes.
My point is that there is still a small number of female voters who will not vote Trump because they don’t like his personality or mean tweets etc. I know it is ridiculous with everything at stake – but they do exist unfortunately! That is where I think a Tulsi Gabbard can help, and nudge those into Trumps column. Anything that can help, is a bonus.
You’re wrong. I know a lot of women who cannot stand him. We need all the help we can get in November.
You should find a better circle. I know of none. It is a lie.
Trying to water down MAGA?
I imagine Don Jr had a big hand in this. Feels like sappers are inside the wire now.
As Dutchman said, Lincoln had a team of rivals. The man he picked as his Secretary of State, William Seward, was Lincoln’s number one competitor when he was running for office. But Lincoln selected him and after a brief attempt at palace intrigue, Lincoln put him in his place. He became a great SOS and a close friend. And we can thank him for the purchase of Alaska.
So maybe it’s best to give Kennedy a chance
Seward’s Folly, $7.2 million. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Best real estate deal ever!
Somehow holding up Lincoln as an example…
Am I misremembering? Isn’t there something that happened with Lincoln…
That name used in any sense with PDJT isn’t giving me any sense of peace or comfort in relation to this new shoe being dropped…
As Sundance said – I hope us suspicious cats are wrong about RFK Jr. The statement that he’s going to remove his name from the “battleground states'” ballots is a start. But is his name actually coming off the ballots? I guess we have to wait and see about all of it. Again.
I would rather see RFK, Jr. and Gabbard play a role who are welcomed, but bear a warning label (so they will be on permanent probation) than another round of RINO traitors like Pence, Paul Ryan, and their ilk, who slip into the woodwork and sandbag and sabotage everything. MAGA Dems who are walking away and are unafraid to say why, welcome aboard, but, yes, keep them on probation.
This does not give me a good feeling.
Call it a gut hunch.
RFK is still a leftist.
The plot thickens…..we shall see how this plays out.
RFKJ is a Democrat. He is not a leftist. There is a difference. In case you have missed it, the GOP under Trump is undergoing a change. IMO that is a good thing – we do not need more George Bush type – I will take a Kennedy over a Bush right now, because at least he says what he believes in. I am totally on board with him when it comes to food and the environment – not on climate change. If you bothered to listen to something he revealed about Trump’s promise to release the rest of the JFK files, that Trump told him he had been going to do so and Pompeo called him up and begged him not to release them, he said it would be a disaster if he did. Pompeo was supposed to be one of OUR good guys – but he was really just another one of the deep state. Time for people to get real and stop complaining, and trust Trump.
It seems with every interview another shoe drops.
I just put this same transition team comment on the post on the Presidential thread because I just finished listening to it from there, and then found this article. Next thing you know we’ll be told Tulsi is on that team too.
Why don’t we call Kinzinger and Cheney too and see if they are free? Maybe that postman’s kid in Ohio. He’s probably looking for his next meal by now. He can bring his friend C. Crispie who needs a meal, even though I think he managed to sucker even more people out of another $7 million plus in donations for his 2024 failed campaign bid.
I was not pleased that Tucker did not push back on Jr.’s obvious J6 inaccuracies. For such a “smart” man you would think Bobby would have figured out the B.S. by now. That is what bothers me. That he would still come on and say that completely obvious B.S.
He did say that Mike Pompeo is a criminal. That was good. Tucker is obviously one of those pushing for Bobby to get CIA. Not good.
And, what EXACTLY would be not good about putting him on CIA [which I do not think that is where he will go]……. if anyone has a reason to clean that viper nest out it is RGKJ.
Whatever this is all about, RFK Jr. is showing disillusioned Dems that it is safe t0 go into the [MAGA] water. That is a good thing.
Mr. Trump has engineered one of the most powerful branding campaigns in history while amassing astonishing personal wealth and a successful profitable business to pass on to his kids. He has been unbelievably successful in nearly everything he has ever undertaken.
It’s rather naïve to suddenly assert he has had an attack of stupidity and incompetence. He is not without mistakes but I’d wager he knows what he is doing.
He is not flawless. His first administration was full of bad actors working against him.
Yep.
Now Kennedy will put in bad actors! I don’t want liberals in the new administration! If it happens!
Virtually all requiring senate confirmation. It blows me away how even today so many people don’t understand the reality of how cabinet members are selected and confirmed.
Or maybe these people are just PRETENDING not to understand!
Yes, and we need a ‘big tent’ in Arizona to beat the cheat to get Kari Lake into a very important Senate seat, not just for confirming nominations. I’d like to see PDJT and Junior and Gabbard, et all working on that big tent. Arizona is huge.
Heck I had to guess that Kari was going to be in Glendale up to a day or two before the rally. I looked, daily. Zippo. That’s not confidence inspiring.
EXPOSURE
Exposing The Cabal is job #1, Trump needs more than just 51% of The Little People behind him to effect any/all demolition necessary before restoring the Republic
Of course he isn’t flawless and had to learn who the baddies were/are; would you go into an administration assuming everyone is a baddie? Of course not, you appoint them and let them sink or swim, otherwise one is a paranoid freak. Of which, I sympathize with Nixon’s paranoia – he was the model that the Deep State used against Trump. And others.
Respectfully
Respect right back at ya.
My dear father taught me a biblical truth.
People are sadly human and not to expect anything out of my fellow man. I am never disappointed but upon occasion I am pleasantly surprised when some rise above and do the right things. Sometimes I even surprise myself.
It’s a sad reflection upon the human race but it’s true.
I am glad I read this post on Tuesday, as Monday was completely shot for me. That is some Stone Cold Wisdom from your Pops. Have a Blessed Day, Monti
In the Shawn Ryan interview Sundance just posted, President Trump said he knew no one in WA his first term . . He was a NY real estate person.
He told Shawn that he had to rely on what people told him and in many cases what RINOs told him.
President Trump acknowledges that some of them were not good.
He does say that this time he knows them all and many he knows through working with them and seeing them in action.
Could it be he’s giving Kennedy enough rope to see if he hangs himself?
All republicans approved by the establishment .
Well, he had so many MAGA people to pick from he probably got overwhelmed. /s
Or do you realize 1) he had few MAGA to pick from and 2) he was handcuffed at every turn?
It’s also true that President Trump likes to hear many points of view. He is the opposite of a “yes” man.
Yah, it did a good job of only confirming the rhinos he wanted. I really don’t know how Trump and hindsight could’ve changed. Mitch McConnell on this Venture and yet people like you continue to blame them. So sick of reading this comment on this website somebody has to be absolutely dumb to be on this website for any length of time and still make that kind of comment or they have a reason for making it other than stupidity.
As a very successful businessman, President Trump learns from his mistakes, all successful people do. That first go round is going to help him immensely this time around.
From your lips to God’s ears!!!
I remember everyone bellyaching and moaning about the last group that President Trump picked for his transition team and his cabinet;
sounds like PDJT heard those moans loud and clear so is open to trying a different tack;
first we have to get PDJT into the position of actually having a transition team;
then we can moan and bellyache to our hearts content while he gets down to the business of making America great again – which
includes bringing together people from all sides of the equation and coming up with new respect for allowing opposing views to have room in the conversations.
Noting that Junior does have a lot of support here I scoured the comments for statements of his campaign for PDJT trail where he’ll be bringing all of his voters into ‘the tent’. Any specifics that I missed? What exactly is he doing for the PDJT campaign to get him elected? He must have a plan, right?
As you noted, PDJT has to win first before Junior has even a shot on a transition team or in the Administration. Hence my question.
There was a comment before I refreshed the single page that Jr has already dropped out of a few more of the promised swing states.
And I also read that there are issues in some states where they won’t allow people to leave the ballot. So he might have promised a bit more than he can actually deliver.
Tucker asked Junior my question in the last few minutes of the interview. Interested readers can view that segment for themselves and form their own opinion.
Yes, Nevada is one of those States that won’t let him off the ballot. And this is the same State that the Democrats sued to keep both Kennedy and Jill Stein of the Green Party off the ballot and lost.
Sundance had a good question – will the Kennedy team provide their lawyers that were successful in their lawsuits to the Trump re-election team of lawyers?
That step would be a good sign of intention.
Same questions that I have;
but aware he does have impact for the long term Democrats who still have visions of Camelot – and those are the ones that could help get PDJT into transition team mode.
This really is a new era, isn’t it? Might even be a good move, the alternative being the death of a republic so we are in for the ride of our lives whichever way this thing goes.
