A lot has changed. The Democratic Party has evolved from the party of the working man to the party of the man who thinks he’s a woman. It is now funded by billionaires and Wall Street, and in that regard anyway, they are now everything they used to accuse Republicans of being.

Uncle Teddy Kennedy was notorious for his drunken womanizing. Where John and Bobby kept their exploits behind the scenes (and their wives didn’t seem to mind, as long as they weren’t embarrassed publicly), Ted flaunted his excesses. According to eyewitnesses, he and another drunken Democratic senator assaulted waitress Carla Gaviglio in 1985, in front of their own dates, at a now-closed Washington restaurant in what became infamously known as the “waitress sandwich.” This is no urban legend, but an event reported repeatedly and corroborated in 1990 in graphic detail in the pages of GQ. Neither Kennedy nor his companion, former Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.), ever suffered any consequences.

John, Bobby, Ted and the others were never abandoned by the family, despite outrageous misconduct. They were never smeared as misogynists, which they all pretty clearly were. And the family didn’t give up on even the next generation of Kennedys — including Smith, Patrick Kennedy and RFK Jr. — over their substance abuse scandals, infidelity to spouses and alleged criminal behavior.
But that was when they were all loyal Democrats. Back then, decency was never really a consideration so long as family was involved. Today, however, party loyalty has overtaken family loyalty. It’s as if they’re saying they can overlook rape and driving under the influence causing someone’s death, but an endorsement of Donald Trump is just beyond the pale.

This is the deranged cult behavior that we have seen growing in the Democratic Party since Nixon.
Today, if someone just says something semi-nice about Trump, they are branded as a heretic and cast out from the party.
Only hate is allowed if you wish to remain a loyal party member in good standing.
But then, the Democrats always admired and colluded with the Soviet Politburo that held the same philosophy.
This is why Trump is very likely underpolling - the shy Trump voter is not answering polls, leading to a huge “response bias”.
So? The RAT/libertarian party are defined by their double standards more than anything else. Well, next to their drug and alcohol addictions, anyway.
He’s now the family frontman-one who can restore the family’s name and it future in politics. It’s like the Arab big brother Egypt making peace with Israel. Ted led them too far in the other direction.
Right. It’s what happened to Evita, too. She trusted her own hype and polls and was blind sided when she lost
It’s typical of Liberals...”If I shout down the Conservatives, then they don’t exist”
the Kennedy Klan haven’t been this upset since Chappaquiddick!
RFK Jr is a game changer for the way he was locked out of the election.
The democrat party was never the party of the working man- they were always the socialist/Marxist party- its just that they hid it better in the early years, while today’s party doesn’t even bother to try and hide their contempt for America and for anyone who isn’t all about destroying the nation and giving power to the few in their party with $$.
If only they had been this upset over the Chappaquiddick malfeasance!
