Did you catch Secretary Bobby Kennedy’s speech? It was my favorite speech of the mid-term GOP convention. Yes, President Trump delivered the ultimate call to action, and VP Vance probably kicked off his 2028 campaign. For me, it was a Kennedy, son of famous Democrats, who hit the mark.

It didn’t take long for Secretary Kennedy to say this: “Neither my father nor my uncle would recognize the Democratic Party today.”
Well, that line got some Democrats angry. I hope that they still invite Bobby to the Kennedy Thanksgiving this year.
My favorite lines were about the party of no kings crowning a queen, or a reference to how VP Harris was handed the nomination without a single vote.
RFK Jr. should have added 2016 and 2020 when the party manipulated the primaries to keep Senator Sanders from winning the nomination. It was obvious to anyone that Sanders had the energy back then, but party elites didn’t want him topping the ticket.
A whole good riff came when he spoke about President Trump:
The Democrats abandoned all of these values and all of their traditional values, offering Americans only one policy, the one policy that they stood for, the unbridled, sociopathic, and blind hatred of a single man, Donald J. Trump.

And they were so confident that Trump hatred alone was sufficient to win elections that they abandoned accountability and made our government a predatory organism of monumental incompetence and corruption.
The Democratic Party, in short, lost its way. I mourn the fact that neither my father nor my uncle would recognize the Democratic Party of today.
It struck me this was no longer about left and right. It was about sane and insane. It was about common sense and communism. In April 2023, I ran for president hoping to summon my party back to its bedrock values. But the Democratic Party had lost faith in American voters and utterly ironically lost faith in American democracy. They were convinced that they would lose the ballot box. They couldn’t win. And so they unveiled a lawfare strategy to prevent an election from occurring. They sued every candidate who dared to run against Joe Biden. and then attempted to remove us all from the ballot. A lot of you think that the lawfare was just against Donald Trump. It was mainly against him, but they sued Dean Phillips. They sued Marianne Williamson. They sued Cornel West. They sued Donald Trump 50 times in 38 states to remove him from the ballot.
Many Democrats will avoid reality and call those the words of a traitor. Others will look beyond that and check out what the Secretary is saying. He is right about the irrational hatred of Trump being the guiding principle. We call that Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it’s all they have left in the tank.
Kennedy is not alone. Senator Fetterman agrees about the growing anti-Israel posture, and former Senator Manchin warned them about the left-wingers running the Biden administration. My guess is that many other Democrats agree with Secretary Kennedy but don’t want the primary.
