Reply #52: I'm one of them. Bobby spoke to my High School [View All]

[Tom Rinaldo]

He was an amazing man who never stopped growing as a person and a leader until he was gunned down. He closed gaps between blacks and whites, rural and urban, the middle class and the destitute that no one else could bridge. Some of his support left the Democratic Party, veered hard left, and never looked back after RFK was killed, but some of those who were drawn to Bobby later turned toward George Wallace. Those were the right wing populists types, sometimes racists, but they got that Bobby would never sell them out to wealthy special interests. Not since RFK have I felt this strongly about a National candidate. It's not hero worship, simply the truth.
