^^^ I guess I agree. RFK isn't that big of a thing, yet. The one thing that a Trump/RFK team might do for Trump is, it might bring a bunch of Dems over to Trump (because RFK is Dem, at least in name), who would have felt hopeless and lost otherwise.
But, I don't hold out any expectations for a Trump/RFK team.
-cut-
No matter how batshit insane RFK jr is, Trump would seem like even more of a loser next to him. I mean he is ripped compared to trump. Trump wants attention and praise like any old vain man. That's why he is not getting back into Twitter or getting Elon as running mate either. In his mind Elon would outshine him, and make him look even poorer than he is.
My guess is that Trump wants more hypocrite, so he gets some sort of denounced weird religious biggot christian tv pastor running with him. Something he outshines in his mind and can look down on, but has religious fanbase. He would love the idea of people praying of him and to him as a holy man. That tv pastor would also validate his narcissist personality with misogynic and racist values as a wannabe dictator.
I completely agree with your point of view. Even if a TV pastor does not have any political experience, Trump would choose him as a running mate for the reasons you have already presented.
However, I could see Trump going along with Elon as running mater in the case Trump ran desperate enough to get an even wider voting base and not only needed to appeal to religious conversative people but also young people who are fans or Elon and are within the right political spectrum.
Though, One of Trump's problems is the fact he cannot be aware enough of his own legal situation to feel desperation and take choices which would likely improve his chances not to end up in prison and become the president. An example of it is he admitting to crimes in his public speeches.
Trump declaring under oath is a nightmarish scenario for his lawyers. (Also the fact he does not seem to pay them as promised)
