Nothing screams legitimate candidate like giving the VP nod to one of your biggest financial contributors.

Congratulations Nicole you just brought yourself a seat on the ticket! A losing ticket, but still a ticket 😂😂

[krog]

That's awesome! Now, let us never speak of him again.

[sunshynff]

Running mate for what?? Does he actually think he has a shot at the presidency???? What a joke!

[davidwolf]

i actually feel bad for these people, current politicians. i know they're rich, but to be so far removed from reality warps their minds. they seem insane to me

[libertymom]

This should be a concern- I wonder if she knew she was a potential VP pick when she made a large donation? Pay to play?

[DeSmith-ob]

Bobby's candidacy is as legitimate as the Marianne Williamson and Cornel West campaigns.
Shanahan’s work on behalf of “honest governance, racial equity, regenerative agriculture and children’s and maternal health.” 

What a joke.

Dear lord, I think Tulsi Gabbard would’ve given him a fighting chance but this doesn’t look good.

[DonnellLynch-qmxl]

Now, you know that I know, and I know that you know, that this man knows he has no chance of ever becoming president of the united anything. Soooo WTF is his end goal

[jeffhaddix]

A very smart and caring female whose eyes are open. I like his pick.

I just did a deep dive into 34 year old Nicole Shanahan's background. Wow. She is a piece of work. She's packed a lot of drama into her short life. By picking her the gravelly voice Kennedy spawn is clearly not serious about his campaign for president.

[Alfhar]

Very bad choice, lost my vote not that it really matters

[roryoconnor]

Yes to RFK and the truth. No to genocide Joe.

[garyburnett]

I guess money talks. Especially to a Kennedy.

[critterIMHO]

The ridiculous standards for getting on the ballot in all 50 states are, well… ridiculous.

[jodi-bethfelton]

So excited to vote ❤ Kennedy/Shanahan 2024 ❤

[joescott]

She seems quite awesome, and I liked Kay-J a lot already. Now I'ma wiki her and become disillusioned, lol.

[danielhealy]

Wow, how America has sunk. Sad and far from newsworthy.

[superfly]

It doesn't matter which peanut the crown is on. It's all the same. Oh and how about that diversity. Here I thought Kennedy was beyond a price tag.. Well twiddle my twaddle and color me surprised. Mediocrity will always do as the dollar tells them.

I feel he’s better than the two we have as potentials!
