Also on You Tube, (did you know there's a lot of stuff on there?!?) you can type in
Remembering Robert F. Kennedy, 50 years after his assassination.
There are at least two different videos with that same title -- the one I'm referencing is CNN: it has a picture of Jeff Greenfield looking directly at the camera.
This video is 5 minutes and 36 seconds; they discuss whether Bobby Kennedy would have won the Democratic nomination for President at the convention in Chicago, later on in the summer of 1968.
Greenfield says the Democratic "establishment" was backing Hubert Humphrey, then-Vice President under Lyndon Johnson, and he describes how Kennedy could have possibly sold the Establishment on supporting him instead of Humphrey,
or how RFK
might have accepted an offer to be the Vice Presidential candidate, on a Humphrey ticket.
It's like what Hunter Thompson wrote in Fear-Loathing '72 -- when he says McGovern is "a party man" and discusses McGovern's meeting with Mayor Daley, and Senator Ed Muskie's meeting with Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo (Blue Collar Lit., Nov. 2, 2018).
