It’s easy to see why those who invested their hopes in the theory that Donald Trump could engineer a “great realignment” are excited by the addition of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to the GOP presidential candidate’s roster of endorsees. The migration of these erstwhile Democrats into the Republican camp vindicates what they always saw as Trump’s potential to remake the political landscape. But Trump’s Democratic opponents don’t seem especially upset by this development.
Both Kennedy and Gabbard were politically homeless well before Trump folded them under his wing, but not because they reluctantly finalized the divorce from a party that long ago left them behind. They got the boot.
