That's all you really need to know. You don't need extra speculation about how Caroline felt or didn't feel about Blumenthal working to derail her long-ago Senate bid.Frankly, it always felt to me that Caroline Kennedy was ambivalent about the prospect of becoming senator, at best, and she also (much as I like her) didn't come off that well in her almost-campaign; so I have a hard time envisioning Caroline harboring anger over the 6-year demise of her pseudo-candidacy..
My guess is that there already is little love lost between the Kennedy folks and the Clinton folks, and that was true long before those "revelations". (And I also think that they'd support the Democratic nominee, whoever it might be, including Clinton)
I could see that Caroline might be quite sympathetic to a Biden bid; but as for resigning her ambassadorship to campaign for him? That seems kind of silly, as there are plenty of other like-minded folks who could be equally consequential, or more, in supporting a Biden candidacy.
