"Bobby Kennedy has his own message going at the time, and it was powerful. He came very far in a very short time."
Yes, I think you're quite right. Anyone who thinks RFK was a charlatan (or a Russian dupe, as one poster here inferred) is simply a fool. I think Robert Kennedy would provide excellent leadership today if he were alive.
He is not, though. Such a person as he developed into in his last few weeks comes along rarely. We saw genius in action.
