Kathleen we keep crossing paths today! I totally agree with your sentiment on this article. I remember as a little girl staying up with my mother to watch Jaqueline Kennedy host a televised tour of the White House. It was grand! I’d seen the White House many times since my grandparents lived in D.C. but I’d never been inside. That’s the time the Kennedy family was our royalty. The family history is truly sketchy for sure, but the image Jack and Jaqueline created was like watching a fairytale. Because that’s exactly what it was. RFK jr is deeply involved in that fantasy and between him and Trump’s fantasy of raping and pillaging the peasants, supported by the like of Phil McGraw and delusional “Blue MAGA” liberals is not a viable option for voters.

Yep, Jack and Jackie sure did look good. Many have stressed that JFK was the first president of the TV era, when it became extremely important to look well on the tube. Pretty people like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and movie star Ronald Reagan have had a definite advantage over ugly people like LBJ and Nixon.

He lost his uncle and his father to violence. I'm sure that effects person. But I'm sorry that because of his name, family connections and money he can insert himself in politics inspite of his being inadequate. He offered to campaign with Biden and Harris and they turned him down. I don't know what price he was asking. But then going to Trump shows a desire to be relevant and absolutely no political convictions.
