Don’t forget the HHS Secretary’s dad running from New York because he didn’t want to run against the incumbent from his home state.
No, but there was one slight difference: he at least had served in a Cabinet-level position. SURE, his brother appointed him, it was nepotism, but unlike Hillary, Tubs, Franken, or Finebaum, he HAD actual DC experience.
He didn't want to run against his own brother in 1964, no.
And he didn't want to wait until 1966.
The label "ruthless" as well as "opportunist" was rightly affixed to RFK Sr.
By the way, I don't even mind that given the minimal standards, just be honest.
"Yeah, I don't really give a damn about you New Yorkers, but I could never get elected in Arkansas, my home state of Illinois doesn't have a Senate race until 2002, by which time I'll be a bad memory,
and I want to be President someday, so please elect me to the Senate" would have been honest on the part of the Hildabeast.
And Scott Brown, too, for the Republicans, but at least New England is small enough that Portsmouth, New Hampshire (where Brown was born) is closer to Salisbury, Massachusetts than the World Trade Center is to JFK Airport.
Coincidentally, Brown won the Senate seat RFK Sr wouldn't run for because his brother held it.........
