I hope it ends with all of them shit dead or put in the chair after what they did.

Perhaps, however with strong leaders and a commitment to both integrity and dialogue they can do well. Bobby needs them.
Um,no. If he is identified associting with people who want to fundamentally change American culture,he will lose the support of the working class Democrats he would need to win a power struggle
It is possible for Bobby to appeal to both working class Democrats and the counterculture. His older brother did pull it off after all, though it will require a careful balancing act of his positions and initiatives if he wins election to the Senate in 1970. In a possible future Presidential run, Bobby could be forced to reassure one side or the other with his choice of running mate and cabinet appointees, but I think he can walk the line between them if he needs to.

If the 1980 not quite independence referendum succeeds there could be a serious constitutional crisis over the Quebec government's demands for increased powers.
So long as there aren’t violent hippies then it could be a possibility but he’ll need the working-class Democrats as well. If Bobby panders to the counterculture too much he could risk alienating working-class Democrats. And I don’t need to tell you who’ll sweep in to pick up those that Bobby neglects.
Absolutely. I think that Bobby's main base of supporters will be ethnic minorities and women, especially Catholic Latinos and African Americans. As for building a coalition out from there, he'll reach out to the counterculture and working class Democrats, but strike a more moderate position in the party than the staunchly New Deal "Old Left" of LBJ or the "New Left" of McGovern and McCarthy.
A strong possibility!
Bobby really wants to avoid having an air of "inevitability" ala Hillary Clinton circa 2016 IOTL. He absolutely, under no circumstances, wants to try and ride his brother's coat tails to the White House, but rather seeks to build a case for his own capacity to lead. That means fighting for the little guy, not glory hounding, and in his own words from 1964, "just being a good United States Senator". He’d get my vote for sure.A strong possibility!

And I no longer have a political stance (and I won’t disclose why that is).
He’d get my vote for sure.
Thanks Alpha-King
Mine too.So the Mexican government would allow the murders of the now late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to roam around their country free from arrest?
Nah, more like they don't have 100% control over their border, and lot easier to flee there from CA.
Oh okay. But will they start a manhunt of their own once they learn “The Family” inside their borders?
Sure, easily. In fact, finding some gringos in Mexico is gonna be a lot easier....
