I find it hilarious that it didn’t work with Trump, so he went running to Kamala

he is probably stealing more votes from Trump than Harris, so he better stay in the race

From polling, it appears that you are correct. Although how committed those voters are remains to be seen. I think I recall Johnson polling at around 6% in 2016 but ended up with a little over 3%.

Harris and her advisers have not responded with an offer to meet or shown interest in the proposal, say people familiar with the conversations.

The Kennedy outreach, made through intermediaries, follows a meeting in Milwaukee last month between Kennedy and Republican nominee Donald Trump to discuss a similar policy role and endorsement that resulted in no agreement.

I imagine that Kennedy would like some return on kingmaking.

well he's going for the uneducated fuckwit vote, so yeah.

wasn't necessarily true before, mind you. i think a lot of people were going to vote for him just because they didn't want to choose between the same two dudes again.

also the more he talks the more he'll drive away any voters lucky enough to have multiple neurons, and maybe steal a couple single neuron voters.

Maybe he could try bringing her a dead animal as an offering.

It works for shrikes and he's got some experience with it.

Secretary of Trichinella has a nice ring to it.

Secretary of Falconry

At least he’s arguably qualified for this.

He just won’t go away. Read the room.

The guy has brain worms and rats himself out for dumping bears in parks. I'm not trying to be rude, but do you really think he can read a room? Really?

to be fair during the bear story "the room" was roseanne barr.

Does she need her kitchen redone? That's the only cabinet job I would let him near....

Really putting a lot of faith in the worm's carpentry skills here...

Trump might make him HHS secretary according to John Oliver. Yet another reason to keep Trump way out of the Oval Office.

Should've promised him a job on the filing cabinet if he stole enough trump votes.

Promise him Secretary of State if he stays in the race until election day, keeps on message (stupid conservative arguments), and works swing states hard. Then...just don't give him State. Or anything.
