6. While his assassination was a horrible thing, like his brother, vastly overrated as a "liberal."

This is a guy who served as an attorney, along with Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, on Joe McCarthy's red scare witch hunt. Joe McCarthy was Godfather to one of his children.

RFK and JFK had a lot of their father in themselves, not a good thing. I consider JFK to be the worst Democratic President of the 20th century except, maybe Woodrow Wilson. The Roosevelt's, Eleanor and Franklin, the greatest Democrats of the 20th century - maybe any century - despised Joe Kennedy, for good reason, and Eleanor certainly wasn't fond of their son the President.

The positive reputations of RFK and JFK may have more to do with being assassinated than with being great men.

I may be alone in being unsurprised how RFK's son, worm brain, turned out.
