      All those rumors were to try to get him and JFK out of office by J Edgar Hoover (if they did not shoot them) in saying he was scandalous when Bobby especially was incredibly faithful to his wife being Catholic having 11 kids and they had love at first sight.
      Bobby was a good gentle soul. All the duplicitous BS rumors were simply another attack on him and his brother...

His points about Vietnam applies as much today in the Middle East-what is our interest vs. our values. The only difference is we got better eliminating fewer people vs. many. We had a fork in the road and chose continued division, wealth vs. those without it, greed. So very sad.

    Late to the party here, but what a brilliant man.
    I remember being shocked and dismayed when I learned he had once sat at the same table as Sen. McCarthy during his infamous hearings, before learning how quickly he had become disillusioned with the process. I later saw an interview where he openly admitted his employment under Sen. McCarthy was a mistake, and then only admired him more for his candidness.
    President Kennedy may have been more gregarious, charismatic and glamorous than Bobby, but there's no question in my mind that Bobby would have been the one who affected greater change on both American society and the world at large. The good Senator spoke with a clarity and conviction that we sorely need today, and his time serving as AG prior to the assassination of President Kennedy (and his subsequent neutering under President Johnson) only proves he was not afraid to take on the big dogs to do the right thing, no matter the cost.

      Not too many people three generations later are willing to acknowledge the similarities between the America RFK wanted and the America Ronald Reagan wanted. They once shared the same side of the aisle. Elsewhere on TH-cam is a debate among Reagan, RFK and international journalists that illustrate the commonality of positions Reagan and RFK shared on the issues of the day, and it was only a question of approach. 1968 was too soon for Reagan to run for President and win, but it was not too late for RFK; and had he not been gunned down at the Ambassador in L.A. I think he would've walked away with the Dem nomination and beaten Nixon. Leaving Humphrey as the only viable candidate left after RFK was assassinated and LBJ walked away pretty much handed Nixon the Presidency -- and while Nixon's foreign policy bona fides were helpful his efforts on the domestic front were abysmal; and of course corrupt. And the GOP at that time was ill-equipped for a Reagan Revolution in dealing with Vietnam and macro-economics; deep divisions within the party between Rockefeller Republicans and conservatives -- same issue Dems had in 1968. RFK could have bridged the gap and captured the support of voters between the two extremist bookends and unified the country. Of that I am certain. But we'll never know.

      I disagree. He is a product of wealth and privilege, gained through efforts of organized crime indirectly, but for certain either way. Humility boils down to education and experience, being able to relate. I honestly thought his values were sufficient but only in regards to conscious. He never truly experienced the blight of poverty and inability to attend colleges, at any point of the struggle. His religion built a conscious big enough, which supported the drive for knowledge, in turn, allowed him to interpret the constitution on a morale level. The flaw however, his brother and him were very self serving. Notoriety, wealth, and appearance, was the driving force for power for money was and never would be an issue. They clearly were groomed, and groomed by a family built on criminal enterprise, that's why he fought so hard against them, to save face. No, he wasn't experienced enough for the presidency at that time. His life needed more time to understand the issues he spoke about because he could only learn them and could and never lived them. 60 to 65 year old RFK would have done the trick. To think then, and especially now, that any person could serve the country better than LBJ, is insanity. LBJ done more for humanity within the guidelines of American philosophy and values, than any other President in the history of the World. 1 LBJ 2Reagon3Trump. All had the most important qualities of any leader, strength, determination, resolve, follow through, foreign policy, and america first, the ladder gushing confidence into the American working man and the American dream for the pursuit of happiness.

He was serious and hard-edged, rarely seen smiling. But after JFK was assassinated and grief took hold of Bobby, he mellowed and his temperament became a credit to his wisdom. He became the man you see in this video, fully in charge yet compassionate in equal measure.

      When he was running for the U.S. Senate from New York, which he won, he visited my hometown, addressed a crowd in the Public Square and rode an open convertible to the local newspaper for an interview. As he was shaking hands from the car, I was able only to touch his hand. Years later, I met his daughter, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, lieutenant governor of Maryland.

      I met Robert Kennedy in early 1966 at a college newspaper conference held at Columbia University. He was the guest speaker at the banquet held on the last night of the conference. He had been serving in the Senate for about a year at that time.
      My group arrived late to the banquet because of a subway problem, so we had to wait in a small library until there was a break in the program. Remarkably, this was also the place where Senator Kennedy was waiting until time for his speech. So my group of ten young women from a college in Virginia got to meet him and chat for a brief time. He was a lovely person, very courteous yet a bit shy which really surprised me. He never acted like our presence was an intrusion, and he welcomed our conversation.
      It has touched me to see this video because that same reserved, refined quality I remember about him comes through so clearly here. What a moment that was.

    The questions were horrible. Senator Kennedy kept saying he wanted to talk about the issues and at least halfway through the show every question was about the politics of the presidential campaign. I am going to see if I can listen to the second half ... Senator Kennedy was given a chance to discuss his views on the war during the second half of the show, but since half the show was wasted on questions involving presidential politics, the show ended just as the discussion started getting interesting. And although I am a Republican, I can see that Senator Kennedy was likely a very sincere, thoughtful and honorable man who tried to place principles above politics.
