      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 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.
