18. In My Opinion Kennedy Feels Self Entitled to this Senate Seat
Thu Aug 20, 2020, 05:36 PM
Aug 2020

If Kennedy has shown any initiative in Massachusetts’ 4th congressional district in the 4 terms since he succeeded Barney Frank, I (a resident of that district) am unaware of it. Indeed if he had done anything noteworthy, wouldn’t it have shown up in his his campaign tv spots?

In my view Kennedy feels - because one of his great uncles was the President of the U S over a half century ago, another great uncle was a notable and long term Massachusetts Senator, and his grand father was the US Attorney General and a New York senator - that he is “entitled” to the senate seat. (My guess is he views this senate seat as mere stepping stone to the White House.)

I am quite disappointed in Speaker Pelosi’s announcement

BTW My wife and I have already voted in this primary - for Markey

Markey shows alotta class. [View all] Nevilledog Aug 2020 OP
