JFK Jr. was as dumb as a bag of hammers. He inherited his sub-par intellect from his mother, who was lovely but stupid arm-candy for JFK in a political marriage arranged by his father.
Sure, he would have parts of the Democrat establishment behind him, and MSM as a protective umbrella, but he could never have figured out how to use it to achieve ultimate power and probably would probably be a gaffe machine.
“He inherited his sub-par intellect from his mother, who was lovely but stupid..”
I don’t really know if Jackie Kennedy Onassis was stupid or not, but I doubt she was any stupider than the Kennedys who do not impress as intellectuals in any way.
She was smart enough to keep her children away from that clan of Irish hooligans after their father’s murder, she was smart enough for Ari Onassis who I feel sure was very smart and seemed not to like “arm-candy” as you put it but went for more accomplished women (who were, no shocker, quite beautiful. As Rush Limbaugh rightly points out: feminism was advanced so unattractive women c could have access to power, and I thought that myself in the 1970s when the bar burning and baby killing was just beginning - and I’m of the female persuasion myself.)
She also buried a child, had her husband’s brains blow into her lap, escaping death herself by merest luck, and kept on ticking. She got a job later in life and had had a job before she married JFK when she certainly did not need to work an any time.
I’m glad she did not live to see her son die.
That's not even close to being true. You don't know what you're talking about.
He graduated high school from Phillips Academy Andover which is one of the toughest high schools in the US. I know that because I have a daughter at Andover now.
He got a degree from Brown -- another tough school.
He got a law degree.
No matter how much political pull one has, you don't graduate from Andover and Brown if you are as dumb as a bag of hammers.
At least he was smart enough to reject politics. I think he kne he wanted no part of it- but the establishment would be eager to use him.
