Well I’m a Conservative but, I still like Jack and Bobby.

I remember that time as a young girl, very young, I think 12 or so, and it was a little magical. Those guys seemed to glue us all together, (I was in NY on Long Island) and we all had that kind of almost giddy feeling of ‘this is wonderful’ and you know what...? Trump brings it.

I know of their imperfections. But, I don’t mind. It was a wonderful time to be proud of being American.

As it is now for me. We are the most wonderful country in the world.

We really are.

On the night of the California Primary, a few hours before Bobby was shot, there was an interview of Ronald Reagan, who was asked about the campaign, he pointed out that Bobby sounded more conservative than most of the Republicans in the race.

I was the same age as you also on Long Island. My parents were republicans and had voted for Nixon. There was something very special about those Camelot years.

Agreed. Jack was patriotic and was in no way a liberal. He would not believe his radical party today, were he to see it.
