Never trust a Kennedy. They are bleeding heart liberals that will carry on the corrupt operation of the Obama administration. He'd do nothing about the disgusting indoctrination of our children, the disgrace of our military, the invasion of our border, out of control crime or the strangulation of taxpayers experiencing the worst inflation in decades. He would let the FBI, CIA and other corrupt agencies run amuck while terrorizing conservatives. He cannot be trusted to be any different than what we are experiencing by the Left right now.
