I remember RFK's funeral after he was shot in LA -- they took his body across country by train and it took two days. My relatives who were solid Republicans said at the time it was too much coverage and it was on all the networks....mourners throwing themselves on the train as it made various stops. So the Democrats today shouldn't say this funeral cortege is any big deal. They made a big deal out of RFK and JFK's funerals.
They only took RFK's body from New York to D.C. -- and it took a long dang time.
