“ If a wife driven first to booze and pills and then to suicide isn’t enough to take down a presidential candidate — and I’m aware that these days that maybe it isn’t — then I’m not sure what would anymore.”
Sorry but you are at least 4 decades out of date. Kennedy didn’t kill his wife, and while her broken marriage may have contributed to the depression that lead her to suicide in the end she committed the act, and unless he somehow actively encouraged her to do it, trying to claim he’s the cause of her actions is just disingenuous nonsense.
End of the day, she killed herself. Husband and wife’s are cheated on daily, and the suicide is not the normal end game for them.
Thing this would destroy Kennedy in this day and age is pretty silly.
