Really think if Bobby Kennedy turned out to be president that Ronald Reagan would ever be elected?
Maybe Roger Ailes would still do the whole right wing media machine, but this time to prevent Catholics from getting into the White House again?
What if Hinckley loved Jodi Foster just that little bit more though?
Wouldn't it be the Kennedies?
You guys think the kennedys would do good things? I have an exciting investment opportunity for you! Sucker.
There's a short documentary series about Robert Kennedy, and his presidential run (that was cut short when he was killed). I think it's on HBO.
I highly recommend watching it. Had RFK went on to win the Democratic primary, and then the general election, things could have turned out very differently.
He was a real one.
Edit: apparently it's on Netflix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Kennedy_for_President
Cannot recommend it enough.
In other words, yes, I think RFK as president would have changed the face of the US forever.
He was complicit in what was done to Rosemary Kennedy
If he was willing to let that happen to his own sister, I don't believe he would care about the general American public
He was complicit in what was done to Rosemary Kennedy
He was a fucking child dude, are you for real? He's 6 years younger than her. He was like 15 years old when they gave her a lobotomy.
Wait till they learn how the Kennedy's rise to power... it will blow their minds.
