This may be the last Kennedy.
Finally.
When Joe Kennedy III, the undistinguished, 39-year-old, four-term Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, announced he would challenge longtime incumbent Ed Markey for the US Senate last September, the liberal media had its typical slobbering, Pavlovian response.
Still does, despite a dramatic drop in the polls.
“The Democratic representative hasn’t come up with a good rationale for challenging progressive Senator Ed Markey in Massachusetts,” The Atlantic said three weeks ago. “But with a name like his, it may not matter.”
Really? Great-Uncle Ted’s run for president in 1980 couldn’t be derailed by serial drunkenness, womanizing, cheating, nor lying — not even Chappaquiddick and the little matter of leaving a young woman to drown was enough.
It was Ted’s televised inability to answer that very question — “Why are you running?” — that did him in.
Voters aren’t stupid. They know the reason. The Kennedys think Massachusetts is their fiefdom, the Oval Office their birthright.
Kennedys run because they are Kennedys.
Increasingly, thankfully, that tautology no longer holds. We all know Camelot was an epic lie. JFK’s father bought him the presidency. RFK, who at least cared about civil rights and the plight of America’s poor, was the family’s only real leading light. Ted maintained his Senate seat out of generational sorrow and nostalgia, but had he lived to see the #MeToo era, he would never have survived.

They didn’t have a dynasty...one President isn’t a dynasty. And whatever it was that they did have has been over for a very long time.
I hope she’s right.
Maybe he can start a Drivers Education company. That or a flight school.

Quick Joe, drown a Girl or beat one to death with a Golf Club. Maybe you help your Ex Wife Hang herself in the Barn.
You may still have a chance to get the Liberal White Woman Sympathy Vote.
I’d rather a stake driven through the hearts of both Clintons. The Kennedy’s are harmless drunks now.
I thought it officially ended when fat Ted bit the berry.
I think one of them crippled a girl - a passenger in a dune buggy.
Oh, and let’s not forget that one burned his own twins with illegal fireworks.
Chelsea Clinton doesn’t have a future in politics. My dirty dish rag had more chsrisma than her. Thankfully both of their dynasties are history.
The dynasty died with JFK Jr., America’s crown prince. He would have been president. Deep state was worried he’d run as a Republican so Hillary had him bumped off.
Doesn't really need politics. She skipped directly to the family business--grifting, corruption, exploiting people for money and giving little or nothing in return.
Really, get over it. The Kennedys are so last century.
JFK Jr. might have stopped HRC from becoming senator. Say, what happened to him again?
If I decidied to go back and finish my psychology degree (a revolting thought, that), I could make a mint specializing in Stockholm Syndrome treatment. But I’m just not sympathetic to these types. You’d think that when they scald themselves on the hot burner of liberalism, they’d learn. But they keep coming back for more. It truly is an illness.
Hallelujah.
“The Kennedy’s are harmless drunks now.”
Unless you live next door to them.

He died because he was incompetent. And he killed two other people because of it.
Yes but the women loved him. Come out of the closet as a republican and it’s all over for the democrats.
