I suspect Trump will attempt to swap his vicepresident candidate, but with Tucker Carlson. His base has been getting brainwashed by Tucker for decades, and Tucker Carlson has definitely been getting propped up for something like this. RFK Jr and Vance are red herrings in comparison.

That they would wait to do so until technically they have to be denied is just another way to attempt to stoke a flame they desperately need, because they know that the popular vote isn't with them. The candidate must be an extra spicy ~~insurrectionist~~ revolutionary, and Tucker fits that role far better.

So you're questioning Trump's judgement?

Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake.

Now if they actually dumped Trump they might have something there, but there's just no way in hell he will.

Omg, pleeeeeease! That’s all I want!

I'm genuinely unsure if RFK is any more likeable or relatable than Vance. He's funnier at least, but I don't think Trump needs another laughing stock rn...
