If you think putting a rich white elitist Kennedy liberal as the poster boy of the democrat party to lure back voters that you abandoned over 25 years ago, you are mistaken.
Bush, Romney and now Trump - all born with silver spoons in their mouths and yet...
They did nothing but deride Obama for his community service and comparatively modest upbringing but still want to criticize Kennedy for the accident of his birth.
The ultimate hypocrisy, of course, is that we've seen the posts advocating for Ivanka to follow her father to the WH from many of the same people who are now whining about that legacy.
Dynastic politics are only acceptable when it's their dynasty, I guess.
I used to work for Joe as an intern in college. There was only ever one hard rule in his office...don't ever call him "sir." It's just "Joe."
I find it rather amusing that those who are attacking Joe for being a white, wealthy elite are the same people who will fight to the death for the corrupt white billionaire Teflon Don. Don has made a living out of conning the less fortunate, Joe has made a living out of fighting for the less fortunate. Imagine Donnie spending a day, never mind two years, in the Peace Corps in Latin America? AS IF!!!
Yep.
Not a single one of the Trump progenitors or progeny have so far served in any public service capacity.
Not one. No military (most ironic, that), no Peace Corps, nothing.
Growing up in NYC, they would have had ample opportunities to work towards improving life for the less fortunate but they chose to barricade themselves in their golden tower instead.
People may believe that they care about "regular" Americans, but the reality is that his supporters actually prefer their idols to be above all of that common stuff.
His supporters want their candidates to be too good to mingle with the riff-raff.
Anyone who does so is not worthy of their support.
Republicans will screech and throw feces at any human that does not worship at the alter of Trump.
Unless the Democrat is so conservative that he/she doesn't even resemble a Democrat, they're always going to **** on any Democrat who gains any sort of prominence.
Notice all the CD posters who say "Democrats should run someone like Jim Webb". It's never an honest recommendation. They're right wingers who essentially want a Democrat to run that's least offensive to their values, but for whom they have no intention of ever really considering for voting.

I can't find any member of the Trump family that has ever served in the U.S. military so Trump's carnival barker attempts to point to the military as if he served is laughable.
apparently liberals started it by attacking Trump's grandpa as a draft dodger in the 1800's because he immigrated to from Germany as a child....
He was 16. Not considered a child in those days.
And he returned to Germany as an adult prepared to stay there.
Until that pesky mandatory military service thingy reared it's head.
"Friedrich Trump wrote the letter in 1905 when he returned to Germany with his wife and daughter after having emigrated to the US.
German authorities had given him eight weeks to leave and denied him repatriation because he failed to complete his mandatory military service and to register his initial emigration to the US 20 years earlier."
There's no question that Trump and the Republican party are pathologically obsessed with trying to erase a black man from the history of this country. Make no mistake, it will be the duty of the Democratic party to erase Trump's legacy and brag about it at every opportunity.
Barack's legacy was enacted in the form of Executive orders. President Trump's legacy is being enacted in the form of LAW.

Moderates might. How about that blue wall. Would Bill Clinton when he was president not resemble a democrat now? If it is just about identity politics there will always be division.
Oh good, the Trumplings are irate. That's a good tell that this was a very good response to the SOTU.
They do seem a bit unsettled by this young man.
Funny, how they now seem to believe that white privilege is a thing.
