Just How Desperate Are The Democrats About Their Empty Bench? This Desperate

... seat of New York’s junior Democratic senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, or Rep. Carolyn Maloney, the liberal Democrat representing Kennedy’s 12 th District. While I relish the thought of Caroline Kennedy engaging in an ugly intra-party struggle with either female solon, I am afraid she is not presidential material despite her last name.  She dropped her previous bid for the Senate when her inability to string together words without “ya know” liberally sprinkled throughout became painfully self-evident.  Have her years in Tokyo enhanced her speaking ability. How will she hype her track record in Japan, her only government experience?  Our trade deficit did not reverse itself, and in the age of Trump, that is going to be where the spotlight shines. I also wonder if the power of the Kennedy brand, anchored as it is in events more than 60 years in the past, is still powerful outside Democrat loyalist circles. I don’t wish Caroline Kennedy ill.  She suffered the loss of her father at a very young age and has lived in the public spotlight her entire conscious existence.  She should instead find other ways to use her ample inherited resources, which include a ...

Jan 16, 2017 @ 6:29 AM. PRESSURED by her shameless family, U. S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy is quietly pushing President Barack Obama to arrange a pardon for her killer cousin Michael Skakel. Although Obama can’t directly commute Skakel’s prison sentence for the 1975 murder of socialite Martha Moxley, he CAN call in a favor from Connecticut’s Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy — and that’s what Caroline is after, sources say. “It’s the powerful Kennedys to the rescue again!” a political insider tells Radar. “They’ve got a long history of scandal — and a longer history of beating the system!”.

Elizabeth Warren Is Now In Political Trouble In Massachusetts

... to sweep away Donald Trump and all he represents, get those kinds of numbers? Perhaps the reason is that Senate Warren is just too annoying even for the good people of Massachusetts. The fact that a plurality do not want her to remain a senator, not to mention run for president, should be bone chilling for Democrats. Of course, that does not mean that Warren will lose in 2018. The Republicans have to put up a viable candidate against her, a tall order in a state where that party has not altogether prospered in recent years. On the other hand, does it take a Republican to take Warren out of the Senate? She could get primaried. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg has just returned home after having been ambassador to Japan for the past three years. The daughter of the sainted and martyred President John F.
