one factor.
She's smart but no leader to govern a country, only to run a business.
She's also on her third marriage after an affair with Elon Musk.
Women voters won't be fooled by her.
She widens RFK's extreme irrational streak rather than damping it.

..Shanahan left the Democratic Party when she joined the ticket.[15] Shanahan's prospective ability to bankroll the RFK Jr. campaign were seen as an advantage for the campaign.[15][40] She is the richest candidate for vice president in at least 50 years, with a net worth possibly in the hundreds of millions of dollars.[41]

Shanahan has said that she is "not an anti-vaxxer" but has expressed support for Kennedy's anti-vaccine advocacy and questions the scientific consensus on their safety and efficacy.[13][12]...

In 2013, Shanahan married Jeremy Asher Kranz, a San Francisco Bay Area investor[3] and finance executive;[43] they divorced in 2015.[44]

Shanahan met Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, in the summer of 2014, at a yoga festival in Lake Tahoe;[7] they married in 2018.[7][8] They have a daughter together,[2] born in 2018.[28] Brin and Shanahan maintained an estate at Point Dume in Malibu, California, purchased in 2020.[45]
Shanahan and Brin separated in December 2021,[2][46] and Brin filed for divorce in January 2022.[46]

In 2022, the Wall Street Journal reported that a reason for the breakup was a "brief affair" in 2021 between Shanahan and Elon Musk.[46][43] Shanahan[2] and Musk have denied the report.[47] The Wall Street Journal said: "We are confident in our sourcing, and we stand by our reporting."[2] Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan's attorneys argued that she had signed the prenuptial agreement under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin's $95 billion fortune.[43] The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration.[7][8][48] Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly received an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.[41]

In 2023, Shanahan held a "love ceremony" of commitment with Jacob Strumwasser, who is an advisor at Lightning Labs, a Bitcoin software company. She described the event as a handfasting ceremony influenced by Druidic tradition.[49] The pair met at the Burning Man festival in summer 2022
