Bobby Kennedy was, in my opinion, the best of them. I shook his hand as his campaign train came through my hometown on his way to LA. He was assassinated the next night 🇺🇸💔 🇺🇸
Took my kids out of school to see Obama when he came to Corpus Christi, Texas. Stood in line from 5:00 am with them I was so sure he would be president!
They made the front page of the local paper with their future president & I helped create decent human beings who care for their fellow man and planet! They all got to shake & hold Obama’s hands! He is a great speaker, his voice carries a deep calm that the world really needed and still does.
I met a senator (Joe Biden), a future president (Barack Obama) and a former president (Bill Clinton). All 3 had something about them that made me feel that those fleeting moments were all about ME. Bob and especially Donnie make no attempt to hide the fact that everything is all about them.
I was an idealistic activist CA girl and had just begun teaching history and civics in Jr High. I had to opportunity to meet him in San Jose the night before he went to LA. He was charismatic and so bright and optimistic. I was devastated and my students all knew it and were so compassionate and supportive to me in the days that followed.
Wow Karen I’m so sorry to hear but thank you for sharing. My Uncle worked (or interned then worked) on the JFK campaign I never got to talk to him much about it before he passed though.
As a young mother and college student I took my 1 year old son in his stroller to see JFK when he was in San Jose. My son still jokes that is what made him a life long Democrat and liberal.
He is such an embarrassment to the Kennedy family that convinced me to switch to the Democratic Party when I turned 21 in 1968. I will refer to him as “Bob.” What happened to him?
I am a Democrat & always have voted for Democrats. I am voting for President Biden again. He has been an excellent president & has accomplished more than expected in his first term.
I represented Bobby in our 6th grade mock election in 1968 - the other two were represented by boys. I was such a fan that when he was assassinated, my mom woke me up in the morning to gently give me the news and then she let me stay home from school because I could not stop crying. bob's candidacy should be deeply disturbing to any sane person.
I didn't mean to have my memory be sad for readers, just wanted to remind everyone (Old and Young) what the real Robert F Kennedy meant to us at the time and to spread the word that this bob person, who happens to share a name, is an imposter supported by trump investors and designed to be a spoiler. bob goes against everything that the real and true Robert F Kennedy supported, lived for and died for.
I can vote for old and competent but never for old and crazy.

I shook his hand at a subway stop in the Bronx on my way to high school when he was running for senate.
Wow that’s amazing!
lol I totally get that. A pic was taken of me in between him and Denzel on stage at 2009 inauguration. I wish I smiled too 😂 https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/president-barack-obama-shakes-hands-with-actor-denzel-news-photo/84383534

That's awesome. And thank you for being cool with him being called Bob :)

Wow Martha thank you for sharing 🩵
I'm a new citizen! My first vote ever was for Biden in the primary here in Buffalo, NY.
That’s awesome Yara!
Wish we could reason with Trumpzombies but we know it is impossible, so I'll try with the undecided or indifferent ones. Vote 💙 😃
I agree Yara!
Agreed!! I'm a former Republican. I left the Party in 2008, became an Activist and have never looked back. #BidenHarris2024 all the way!!! ❤️🇺🇸💙
Welcome to the party! 👏💙
Thank you so much!! 💙
Bob with a lowercase b!
bob!

That’s a great question Sandy. I have no idea.
I'm voting for Joe. Who's been a remarkable president, accomplishing so much, despite all the obstacles!
I agree Mike!
I am a Democrat & always have voted for Democrats. I am voting for President Biden again. He has been an excellent president & has accomplished more than expected in his first term.
Great to hear and I agree!
i’m on board with this idea.
Awesome Steve!

Wow Clarissa that’s heartbreaking. I can’t imagine but thank you for sharing.

No it’s all good Clarissa! I think it’s important for folks to hear the personal stories!
Absolutely voting for Joe Biden!
Awesome Gail!
Of course I am voting for Biden. Voting for anyone else would destroy all the things I have worked to support all my life!
Great to hear Gail!
Definitely voting for Joe again, best president since Roosevelt!
Great to hear Nancy!
How 'bout boob? jagoff? putz? He's so dangerous. What's his deal, anyway? He's gotta know he has ZERO chance of winning.
