I really loved what RFK Jr, said in his response to being nominated to head HHS. As many here, I am so happy that Trump made this enormously impactful appointment. RFK Jr. means business and is highly motivated to take meaningful and lasting action.

Who would have thought we would be talking about this three months ago?

This is why three months ago I promoted the idea for RFKJr to join Trump in every comment I made. I was going to vote for RFKJr up until I started to change my thinking. If RFKJr were president he would not have the time or adequate power to do for our healthcare what I knew he could do, as he would be blocked, steam rolled, and hog tied at every turn. Someone less effective than he would be placed in charge but they wouldn’t have his vast experience and he would be too busy to give it. But if there were a president in place to remove those blockades and he had full freedom to focus on the healthcare mess himself, that would be epic. It really was the BEST way to get RFKJr in a position of significant power. And I love that Trump rewarded him for all he risked to join his campaign.

i was totally going to vote for RFKjr. it would have been my second ever vote in a presidential election at 71 years old. i'm of the what the hell does it matter school of thought. but for RFKjr, who i have followed since he got the Hudson River cleaned up and supported since he started the World Mercury (later CHD) Foundation, i put 3 signs in my yard and went to volunteer meetings and several fundraisers.

when i saw what the DNC did to him, i feared that if i voted for him i would be enabling a Biden (later Harris) win and i could not live with that!

so i was thrilled when he gave his supporters "permission" to vote Trump. i voted for Trump in the primary as well.

in the end, he'll be better in charge of HHS than as President. he can laser focus.

pray, everyone! pray hard!!

Thanks for sharing that Carolyn, I wasn't as familiar with him as you were, and disagreed with some of his stances on issues, but certainly agreed with his healthcare proposals. Yes, this time we had a clear choice. I admire the effort you put in.

Yes. Trump keeps his promises. And I'm sure RFK Jr. will also.
