He is young...maybe he should run...maybe not...but John Kennedy died over 50 years ago...time the Democrats stopped looking for a savior and went to work...no one will save us ...no president. One man cannot do it...and with all the worship of Kennedy, the president who gave us the most progressive policy and anti-discrimination laws was Johnson (Medicaid, Medicare and civil rights bill): not Kennedy and not even Roosevelt. The country will not be united behind one man again; we are too divided. So roll up you sleeves and get to work...and whoever is left standing after the primary...vote for him/her; always vote Democratic and show up at mid terms (people didn't for Pres. Obama in 10). It doesn't much matter who is president as long as he/she is a Democrat and that is the truth. Always vote for the Democrat and vote in every election. Say nice things about your party and fellow Democrats...don't join in the circular firing squad. I think you may be pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I use a universal 'you'...not you in particular. We should all do the above.
