They'll find a way to fuck him up. They always do. They killed his fam already imo.

He reminded me there is still reason for hope. Because there are still people like Joe Kennedy.

As a Bobby '68er my heart was certainly transported back to those days. Joe looks so much like Bobby did, just with red hair.

I thought he was GREAT! He’s WAY ready for prime time. Like maybe in 2020.

Like Mount McKinley compared to the big orange zit who served as a flat, insincere, pathetic and totally uninspiring (luke)warmup act.

The passion and hope in his speech is what scares the shit out of the GOP. If everyone did unite, they would be sunk, so the GOP needs to continue to divide us at every chance.

remember that being done. The only one I remember was Jindal standing in front of a fireplace and it looked like flames were shooting out of his ass.
