RFK Presented His Competition a Gift Wrapped with a Giant Red Bow When He Chose Nicole Shanahan as His VP: Yesterday, I predicted the Kennedy campaign may have ended with just one announcement. Twitter pundits seem underwhelmed with the selection of Nicole Shanahan as his Vice President. What could have been a big get for his chances, not only fizzled, but seemed to actively undermine his campaign. Nicole Shanahan: She's pretty, smart, and rich, but most people can't relate to that. Perhaps a Kennedy can't understand that. RFK Jr. VP candidate Nicole Shanahan: “If you are a disillusioned Republican, I invite you to join me, a disillusioned Democrat, in this movement to unify and heal America. The vision [Bobby Kennedy and I] share is a vision of national healing. It is an America that leads the world no longer through the force of arms, but through the power of example.”
“It is an America that wages peace through diplomacy. It is an America that had become the sickest industrialized country on the Earth and turned it around. We’re gonna turn it around. It is an America with honest and transparent government institutions. Can you imagine a country whose government doesn’t lie to you?” - “I worry for the Democrat Party’s overwhelming interest in elitism, celebrity, and winning at all costs. I know this because I have been in those circles for the last eight years, and I have grown increasingly tired of it. As I re-examine my Democratic Party assumptions, I have seen conservative voters with new eyes too. I have met farmers, I have met hunters who are some of the most staunch conservationists I have ever met, who understand ecosystems better than most. I have met mothers protecting their children who are searching every possible avenue for their health.”
“And yet the Republican Party, like the Democrats, is letting them down because the actions of the party are divergent from the values that actually support individual freedom. The very failure of both parties to do their job, to protect their founding values, has contributed to the decline of this country in my lifetime. Maybe that’s why I see so many Republicans disillusioned with their party as I’ve become disillusioned with mine.” -- Unfortunately, 'disaffected' Republicans are not likely to be interested in a woman further to the Left than Kennedy. If the goal was a 'unification ticket', she was absolutely the wrong pick. You will not MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN by supporting left-wing RFK and his cop-hating and illegal-loving running mate.

Nicole Shanahan, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, has a long history of donating to soft-on-crime causes, including leading a foundation that spent big on groups opposed to mandatory minimum prison sentences and supporting the removal of police from schools. The 38-year-old, who has spoken about her involvement with criminal justice reformers in San Francisco, is the founder and president of the Bia-Echo Foundation, which has contributed more than $11.6 million to left-wing causes, according to a review of receipts by The Post. The bulk of that money, $10 million, went to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which passed the cash to organizations advocating for lighter prison terms and supporting lawyers representing illegal migrants in the US. Much like the ex wife of the other rich billionaire, Bill Gates, Shanahan has long donated to very far Left causes supporting illegal immigration and soft on crime policies. Again, not a powerful stance for a woman trying to woo right leaning voters.
This a great choice … for Trump. No center-right independent is gonna support a California lawyer who donated to George Gascon. This obviously hurts Biden which means Biden’s campaign volunteers in the media are gonna try to destroy Kennedy-Shanahan. Should be fun. -- Unlike most who opine on this topic, I also think it helps Joe Biden. Democrats who were looking for a lucid candidate are probably not enthused by Shanahan, either. She has no experience in politics and having a Vice President with no grasp of governing is a bit concerning. -- Camelot24 🇺🇸⚔️🟪 ☮️✨ @ClaudiaL01230: “🚨Good morning Team Kennedy☀️while I’m eager to find out more about our new VP, Nicole Shanahan, I see a lot of instant ship-jumping by people who, until now, were “all in” with Kennedy. Can we all take a breath and give this brilliant entrepreneur 1 month to see who she is?” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJreKnJWQAArv3X?format=jpg&name=large
Even 'Team Kennedy' supporters on-line instantly felt the tides change after the announcement. There was so much excitement for a candidate who broke the norms, but also was trustworthy. Voters hoped for a person like Mike Rowe. He has credibility and is a trusted voice. That was the kind of unity candidate so many dreamed of. At the end of the day, however, Kennedy, is well, a Kennedy. If you think I'm going to make a joke like 'Kennedys love women, after all', I'm not, even though it's funny. He's a Kennedy in the sense he's a Democrat and Democrats are Leftists. All in all, Donald Trump and Joe Biden should send Kennedy an edible arrangement as thanks for his choice. It was really that bad.
