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

      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%.

      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.

      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.

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

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

      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?

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

    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.
