Caroline Kennedy lost her Ambassador post in Japan when Trump took office. He sent her packing and hasn’t even bothered to name a replacement.
But according to the New York Post, she’s not done with public service. Kennedy is planning to run for the U.S. senate in 2018.
First, she’s going to be penning a memoir, but then she’ll be getting down to work. She plans to follow in the footsteps of her uncle Robert Kennedy, and run for a New York senate seat.
She plans to target the seat of Democratic Senator Kristen Gillibrand. Or she could run for Rep. Kristen Gillibrand’s House seat instead.
This is great news for progressives. Caroline Kennedy has the Kennedy name and recognition, but none of the baggage.
.....
Kennedy has a net worth...Kennedy trust funds.
She has much of the popularity of Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton among Progressives, but no baggage. So securing campaign donations won’t be a problem.
But her aspirations don’t end there. According to an unnamed source, “Caroline had a successful ambassadorial run in Japan and feels really very confident about putting her hat in the ring for a New York congressional or Senate seat, with even possibly bigger political objectives down the road”
“Down the road” could include a run for president in 2020. She would be a strong candidate to run against the Republicans.

Don't forget who she is talking to though ... your average Dem voter sounds like this.
Like I said.... it was a looooong time ago...
Not going to happen sorry. We’re not going back to the Kennedy well again. Any romanticism and trust that once existed for that family is long gone.
“That goes without saying.”
Woof.
I think this is a great idea. Political dynasties are really hot right now.
WTF is she doing? That’s Chelsea’s seat!!!
No chance.
The Kennedy name is too many generations old to mean anything to The Great Unwashed, and personally, she has the charm of a used tube of KY Jelly.
This is simply Hard Left Libs having to report something to fill the day’s news story.
Like Clinton ran in Arkansas for Senate.
Makes her perfect for the Dem party...except they rejected her before, didn't they?
YA KNOW YA KNOW .... I’m glad Trump dumped the Bimbo.
When she thought about running previously, she dropped out within 90 days. Among other things, She was very offended that she was being asked to undergo a background investigation, including release of her tax returns and other financial information. She didn’t like that, after all, she’s a Royal Princess LOL!
Kennedy = Crap...
Well done! Hilarious.
Whomever wrote it didn’t know how to spell Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s first name correctly, and didn’t go to the trouble to look it up.
She plans to target the seat of Democratic Senator Kristen Gillibrand. Or she could run for Rep. Kristen Gillibrand’s House seat instead.
I didn't know that Gillibrand had seats in both houses of congress.
She may be a lousy speaker now but after a couple of years of some good strong coaching she could fix that problem and make a good run on het nane...I have an innate fear about this. hopefully I am wrong and she will not be smart enough to get the help she needs in public speaking classes
Good place to send McCain or Graham!
I had such high hopes for Chris Gibson (who held it before Faso). Maybe someday he will come back to politics.
I hoped he would be the second US President to come out of Kinderhook! lol
