but, he is too cerebral/intellectual to take on Trump - I'm afraid he'd be like John Kerry, Al Gore or Mike Dukakis. Smart, but boring. He or Ted Lieu might make a great attorney general.

I like the Kennedy name, but his voting record has been among the more conservative among House Democrats. If Hillary got bashed as too conservative for being only more liberal than the average Senator, how would somebody well to the right of her do in a primary?
