1. Think you might be right. We need some younger candidates.

[NewRedDawn]

42. Yes I been saying

that our future lies in the congress. We have a young deep bench of progressives there. Kennedy, Schiff, Swalwall, etc.

[LOL Lib]

2. He has my vote.

[Moostache]

33. I am ready to volunteer for him today...let's go!!!

THAT is a leader I will follow, I will fight for, I will bleed with...

THAT is a man and a philosophy that I can stand with, stand for, stand beside...

THAT is what I saw in Barrack Obama when he was considered a wild card with little to no chance...

THAT is what America needs now more than ever.

LET'S GO JOE !!!

[CherokeeDem]

3. Powerfuland eloquent....

A man who speaks for the people.

We need Rep. Kennedy and more like him.

[Amaryllis]

9. Schiff and Swallwell are possibilities too.

[Teacheral]

23. Take care

The young Kennedy should not fly in small planes.

[Boomerproud]

4. I hope with all my heart that you are right.

We must have a national sea-change before that happens though, I'm afraid.

[Warren DeMontague]

5. .

[GoCubsGo]

10. Yes, he would be another great choice.

[WePurrsevere]

13. My memory is shot tonight, who is this please? TIA nt

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Gavin Newsom, Lt. Governor of the 6th largest economy on Planet Earth. Pop 34 Million.

Sometimes people in the beltway seem to forget that politics extends beyond the Eastern Seaboard.

[WePurrsevere]

19. Thank you. I just looked him up and...

Now that I did a quick read up on him I remember hearing about him a few years ago and I can see why he'd be a good choice as president if he decides to run.

Admittedly being from the northeast I'm normally more up on politicians that are closer to where I live but I'm always happy to learn about and open to voting for good Democrats from any state.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. He had a prominent speaking gig at the convention last year, too.

[WePurrsevere]

39. Ah, okay, that's probably why his face is familiar. Thanks nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. He had serious women problems awhile back, tho.

Always hard for me to get past that, no matter what party.

[Warren DeMontague]

41. True.

That could be an issue, although in 2017 he's hardly the only public figure with a complicated marital history.

[ms liberty]

18. Love Gavin Newsome. n/t

[brush]

6. Let's get it going. We need new blood and new faces who can excite imaginations

[Eyeball_Kid]

7. Linguistically eloquent. He'll get better with rhetorical cadence.

The content is more lofty than his delivery. He's young. But he has the flash.

[WePurrsevere]

8. Great speech! If that's something he'd consider...

and knowing his stances on most issues that are important to me, I could easily see myself voting for him as president someday.

You know he was speaking from the heart in this impassioned speech. It's to bad he was speaking mostly to a bunch of heartless RepubliCONs.

[rufus dog]

11. I am so tired of the BS Media driven meme that the Dems don't have a bench

I can think of 10 possible candidates under 50.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I hope, my dear dixiegrrrrl, that he will run for the Presidency...

And that I will be alive to vote for him.

[eleny]

15. That's how I felt about Obama

Saw him give his speech at Kerry's convention and thought that this guy can do it. And darned if he did.

Joe Kennedy has the brains, common sense and warmth to make it happen.

[NBachers]

36. I remember that speech vividly- "The skinny guy with the funny name."

Then and there I dreamed that one day he'd be president . . .

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Sorry, no more marijuana prohibitionists. Not until he "evolves"

http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/article/2016/09/11/joe-kennedy-iii-interview/2/

Maybe if the MA legislature gets out of the way of the will of the voters there, he will be able to see legalization working successfully and update his stance as Senator Warren has.

Until then, though, that shit isnt gonna fly west of the rockies.

[beam me up scottie]

29. Damn that's disappointing.

[Warren DeMontague]

43. To be fair, that was before the election.

He may feel differently, now that the voters of his state have spoken on the issue.

[shenmue]

17. Yes

[Lucky Luciano]

21. but he has red hair.

[Freddie]

22. He can duke it out with his second cousin

Jack Schlossberg, Caroline's son.

[smirkymonkey]

24. I would not be opposed.

I think he has a lot of promise.

[world wide wally]

25. 100% behind you on this

[democratisphere]

26. Good possibility.

We need many fresh horses.

[Mountain Mule]

28. A young and passionate Dem!

I could get behind Joe Kennedy, no prob!

[calimary]

30. I saw an interview with this guy. Incredibly impressive.

Heard him talk about the cruelty at the heart of the Anti-Health-Care-Act. Heard him talk about compassion and how the Affordable Care Act - the whole idea of affordable health care - that, yes - we ALL chip in to help underwrite just because it's the right and moral thing for a society to do and it's who we are (and who we SAY we are). I love how he put it: "this is how we take care of one another."

BANISH heartless America. Let's rediscover her heart.

Here's our next generation. Leaders like him can help restore the America we always loved, learned about, and believed in.

[brooklynite]

31. Remember the good old days when we hated "dynasties"?

In any event, I'll withhold support for N candidate based on emotional reactions to his speeches. Tell me what he's accomplished and we'll talk.

[Greybnk48]

32. My daughter and I have said the same thing.

She had his pic as her profile pic for a few weeks recently. He's a winner alright.

[cilla4progress]

34. 2020

Too soon?

[AgadorSparticus]

35. Wow. Beautifully and poignantly said. We need more of his voice.

[NBachers]

37. Great speech, but I could feel more impact if the annoying violins weren't interfering over it.

[ATL Ebony]

38. Great response, agree 100%

[madokie]

40. Clear headed and good speaker

you very well may be right. I would hope that we move away from the likes of what has pretty much infected the 'CONs in DC today

[DFW]

44. This is EXACTLY the sort of person Howard Dean was talking about

Young, new, smart, fiery, and can inspire.

I hope that we hear not only from him, but from a few dozen people LIKE him. I'd love to have a deep roster of new candidates for Congress, Governorships, and for the White House in 2020.

Compare Kennedy's speech to "Nobody dies from lack of access to health care." It is way past time for some visible, eloquent versions of this young man to be speaking up and for their words to be spread around, because there sure is enough crap coming from the other side.
