What Bush dynasty? We've had two Bush presidents, and the third one who tried barely made a blip in the primaries.

As for young Kennedy, I'm sure he's not as misogynistic as his progenitors (how could he be?), but he was in way over his head on that speech. Not sure of the DNC's reason for picking him, but it was a bad decision.

I can’t stand the Bush “dynasty”, either! And NO to Ivanka and Jared. What I said crosses all political parties.
Term limits for Congress and no entitled path to office.

There's not. Jeb lost. SOUNDLY rejected by the GOP voters.

Kennedy - 2018

JFK and RK would be Conservatives in todays progressive Liberal world.
My family was that kind of Democrat. Today the Democratic Party is the party of "what can the government do for me" = free stuff from the citizens that work!

So you think the younger generation would buy Joe Kennedy? https://newrepublic.com/minutes/1468...dy-pot-problem He didn't join 120 Dems in signing a bill for Medicare For All and has voted against legalized marijuana. Isn't that 2 biggies for y'all?

He also voted against the SAFE Act of 2015 which proposed a stronger screening process for refugees coming in from Syria and Iraq. (Obviously caring less about the well being of citizens, and more about how he looked as a possible world leader like Obama.)

He supports DACA of course, more votes desperately needed by the Dems.

So much as come out about the Kennedy dynasty, and it is less than impressive.

I didn't watch his response. I haven't heard much about him in the past. Another Democratic elite trying to ride the waves on name recognition.

Agreed. Did you see all those old fogeys in that chamber. Especially Pelosi who spent the entire speech battling a gerbil in her mouth.

Joe Kennedy needs a few lessons from Elizabeth Warren. He sounds too liberal for the nation.
