I can see Chris Matthews head exploding at just the thought of the comparison!
You had me at hello.
Some here may not know the Kennedy “Camelot” legend (?) was fabricated After his death. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/11/12/how-jackie-kennedy-invented-the-camelot-legend-after-jfk-s-death.html
Let’s not forget Ivana Trump and even Marla Trump. I believe Donald when he says he is not alone responsible for raising such children. His wives, exes and present, are as worthy of credit as he is.
Excuse me if I don’t think a comparison to JFK, Jr. is something to be admired.
The Trump family was great. ALL their speeches were great. However, just remember why everybody loved them- they were taught to work their asses off since they were little, at real jobs. THAT'S why everybody loves them.
America does not do Royal families.
But let us candidly admit that it *does* do political dynasties. And sometimes those political dynasties (e.g. the Clintons or the Kennedies) have been above the law to a degree that mere Royal families are not.
I’m glad to say that it looks like the Trump dynasty may be vastly preferable to the liberal versions.
No doubt about it.
They didn't have everything just handed to them. They had great starts, but without the drive and brains, they'd just as well ended up like Paris Hilton or the Kardashians.
I think jfk jr was probably the best of them. We will never know. Trump’s sons also do some risky things, but I think also this family will do it right! Camelot was BS!
Yeah, but they weren’t at the convention.
No. They were present for the upbringing of the children. That is my point. I believe decorum dictated they not be at the convention.
I’d rather say it’s the age of the Sun King.
The speeches were not great. The speeches were excellent.
And, BTW, their not being there was having “class”.
“Some here may not know the Kennedy “Camelot” legend was fabricated after his death”
Probably most don’t realize that the Camelot theme began after his assassination.
The idea of Camelot was on the public mind at the time because of the hit Broadway show that ran during the Kennedy administration. And it was a favorite of Jackie Kennedy’s.
Camelot is mythology...
The Trump family is real...
The speeches were very, very good. What struck me most was the universal poise, class, attractiveness, humility and intelligence each and every offspring exuded. To say I am impressed is almost an understatement.
Hmm, interesting
