Caroline Kennedy lost her Ambassador post in Japan when Trump took office. He sent her packing and hasnt even bothered to name a replacement.
But according to the New York Post, shes not done with public service. Kennedy is planning to run for the U.S. senate in 2018.
First, shes going to be penning a memoir, but then shell 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 Gillibrands 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 wont be a problem.
But her aspirations dont 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.

Gillibrfand does whatever Chuckles Schumer tells her to do; she’s NO “moderate” !
Caroline has NO plans to run in Mass., would have to move there NOW, in order to run, and no doubt would LOSE there anyway!
This idiot was trying to run in N.Y., but couldn't even make it to the PRIMARY, before she was picked, as a consolation prize, to be an ambassador.
Don’t feel bad....far too many other posters, who posted at a more “normal” hour, made the same mistake and refuse to leave it all alone, posting twaddle.
This “Learn Progress” site is very entertaining.

Like it or not, N.Y. is a BIG DEAL, prominent, and also a place to gather not just local, but NATIONAL "celebrity"/name recognition, nationwise, AND the home of a lot of the BIG DONORS!
She didn’t run from Ill. either and it’s because that N.Y. really was a far better launching pad.
Teddy wasn’t ever a Ct. state senator.
IIRC, it is Nita Lowey's seat and she has already said that she's NOT stepping down for old Chels.
JFK didn't write PROFILES IN COURAGE, strings were pulled, BIG TIME, for him to be an officer in WW II, he crashed that PT boat, and was an utter dimbulb as president.
Simultaneously holding two seats makes her ambigluteous.
The vast majority of the American populace have NO idea WHO JFK was and the Kennedy name is no longer shock&awe&love inducing.
It’s a new MORNING IN AMERICA; or haven’t you noticed? ;^)
A Kennedy vs Gillibrand primary?
Yes please.
I’ll start buying popcorn now.
After reading your post #12 it's obvious you think big enough to be Ms Kennedy's campaign manager. /s
Good stuff buddy. I laughed my a$$ off after reading your post.
Is this the Caroline Kennedy whose “Kennedy Compound” was raided by the police the other day because of drug dealers were using the property?

JFK didn’t crash his boat. He wasn’t paying attention and wandered into the path of the Tokyo Express.
You just PROVED that what I wrote was correct, by claiming I was incorrect. LOL
