A legendary political adviser to former President Donald Trump is offering up his suggestion for a possible 2024 vice presidential nominee \u2013 one that would shock the political establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a recent edition of his \u201cStone Cold Truth with Roger Stone\u201d Substack, former Trump and Nixon White House adviser Roger Stone suggests that if Trump wins the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, he pick Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as his running mate.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGiven America’s state of peril, if RFK performs better than expected, the former President should consider the drafting of RFK as the Republican vice presidential candidate in a \u2018bipartisan\u2019 unity ticket,\u201d Stone writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis idea is not without precedent; Senator John McCain really wanted Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate in 2008. McCain was ultimately talked out of the idea,\u201d Stone notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were Trump were to do that, it would be historic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kennedy, the son of former New York senator and United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, is currently running for the Democratic presidential nomination against President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It would also be highly controversial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to strident left-wing political positions, Kennedy is also an outspoken conspiracy theorist and has been condemned by members of his own family for his public statements about what he believes to be a link between vaccinations and autism, along with health complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKennedy and President Donald Trump were good friends prior to Trump’s elevation to the presidency,\u201d Stone writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has been reported that Trump, who shared Kennedy’s concerns regarding the link between vaccinations and autism, had promised RFK the appointment of a balanced blue-ribbon commission to study and report to the President on the safety and effectiveness of vaccinations,\u201d Stone writes, adding \u201cTrump’s failure to follow through on this pledge is most likely a significant factor in Kennedy’s decision to run in 2024.\u201d
Nevertheless, Stone believes a Trump-Kennedy ticket could be strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c(T)he selection of RFK would silence those within the Republican Party who are today critical, in retrospect, of Trump’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as building a bridge for thousands of Democrats and Independents disgusted by Biden’s fumbling foreign policy and the implication of the collapse of U.S. economic dominance to vote for Trump,\u201d Stone writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
