I can elaborate a bit...remember in 1980, The Swimmer bitterly opposed Jimmy Carter for the nomination.....Kennedy’s speech was the highlight of the convention, it was probably Kennedy’s best speech ever...But, he never mentioned Jimmy Carter by name....and most people came out realizing that the wrong guy was nominated. A lot of people think that speech went a long way towards dooming Carter, as the rift between the two was made quite clear during the convention.....Carter and Kennedy truly despised each other all the way to Ted’s passing.
This is decent rhetoric...except for the mention of Union Halls, there is nothing democrat about it:
