Robert Kennedy was murdered on June 5, 1968. wWhat do you think he could have accomplished if he had lived? I don't think he would have won the nomination. hHumphrey would have given the Salt Lake City speech in June and led a united party to victory. mThe question becomes does Kennedy accept Humphrey's offer to be his running mate? If he wins the nomination in 1976, the bad economy makes it hard for a Democrat to win. mMy favorite scenario is Kennedy running in 1980. tThe bad economy and the hostages means almost certain victory. The second Kennedy administration is remembered for aid to education, anti poverty programs, and progress in civil rights. tThe good economy means this is remembered as a happy time. pPeople say Robert Kennedy made me proud to be an American.
