Dolores Huerta was on the stage with Bobby Kennedy the night he was assassinated & with his grandson today. https://t.co/ZXftDBvehM

Bobby Kennedy was neither a plaster saint nor the potential savior-president that some have fantasized about since his assassination. But he surely did leave a legacy worth preserving!
(Although, given the political climate fifty years ago, I suspect he’d be astonished that a Cuban-American activist might be a “leftist”, like him. Things do change, sometimes for the better.)

Alain has scheduled today’s “On the Road” post for 9am EDT, so I’ll share some more snippets from Tuesday’s primaries…

The Democratic establishment strikes back in California, New Jersey and other primaries. @jameshohmann has more in today’s Daily 202:https://t.co/Ap3lMheMRo

Feinstein wallops a liberal challenger in the heart of the #resistance; Tester wins renomination unopposed. Senate conservaDems are all coasting without serious primaries. There's a lot going on with the left but it's nothing like the 2010 tea party.

This just demonstrates what Democrats have been trying to tell reporters for the last two years – the party-hating far left, while certainly loud and attention-grabbing, is not our base and not even a significant portion of our voting bloc. https://t.co/qIYvIbylBU
