Bobby Kennedy's tear-jerking reception at the 1964 Democratic convention

The applause went on and on in an emotional outpouring of love shown for the slain President and his brother. A short intro from C-Span, then the speech.

I bet the welcome Joe Biden receives at this year's Democratic convention will be similar.

Not only will he be asked but he will be honored at the convention, as he should be. A perfect way to say thank you. I'm pissed too at the way he was pushed out but we don't have time to focus on that. dump has to be beaten - period - and unity is the only way to do it. Biden at the convention will demonstrate that.
