veep stakes of the cranks
Robert Kennedy Jr, who I guess has as good a chance as anyone of getting a magical five percent of the vote, is floating the names of two vice presidential candidates. Jesse Ventura and Aaron Rodgers. They both have highlight feels of athletic performances you can disseminate –Ventura flamboyantly prancing about with a feather boa constrictor in the arena I guess setting the stage for Dennis Rodman’s stage game, Rodgers never did that as it would have resulted in fifteen yard penalties. There is a whimper of the past era flowing through with both of them — though, Rodgers is at the age one might think to move from pro sports to the political arena (though he is younger than recent sports stars turned political candidates Herschel Walker and Steve Garvey — maybe kind of getting bored after a while where your entire first thirty-some years of your life are devoted to a specialized game and then –?) and is just old for the nfl. Jesse Ventura is so 1998, and more to the point is just one more addition to the great take-away everyone has with the presidential scenery and political Washington in general — he’s seventy-what? — and so defeats the purpose of shuffling someone from outside the typical politics pipeline. There is this hitch of problem with this litany — I had to mutter under my breath by some political commenter making the point in alluding to a Nancy Pelosi who — has indeed stepped down as party leader — so quit this complaint on her… but we haven’t gotten out good hate on for Jeffries yet.
I guess the only real question on a Kennedy — Rodgers ticket: does this take votes away from Trump or Biden? And the Rodgers factor does what? Yeah, taking a look see at the Jets schedule and where everyone will stand at the date of the election. Win and maybe the good vibes can translate to votes. In New York. Which isn’t a swing state, so I guess it does not matter.
