I'D LIKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME TO COMPARE TWO FIGURES IN MODERN

AMERICAN ELECTORAL LIFE. ONE IS DONALD TRUMP AND THE

OTHER ROBERT KENNEDY. THINK OF WHAT IT IS THAT SETS

PRESIDENT TRUMP APART, WHAT DISTINGUISHES HIM IN YOUR VIEW.

ONE, HE DIVIDES IN ORDER TO CONQUER.

HE LAUNCHED HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN DECLARING THAT THE

FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT WAS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT,

SOMEONE BORN IN AFRICA WHO SNUCK INTO THE COUNTRY, ASSUMED A

PHANTOM IDENTITY, NO ONE KNEW HIM IN SCHOOL AND MANAGED TO

CON HIS WAY INTO THE COUNTRY'S HIGHEST OFFICE.

BOBBY KENNEDY IN CONTRAST FOUGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS FOR

AFRICAN-AMERICANS, CHAMPIONED IMMIGRANT FARM WORKERS, INSISTED

WE TREAT ALL AMERICANS, INCLUDING NATIVE AMERICANS, WITH

FAIRNESS AND GENEROSITY. COMPARE THE TWO ON EMPATHY.

BOBBY KENNEDY SPOKE TO AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN GROUP THE NIGHT

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS KILLED AND ASKED THEM FOR

UNDERSTANDING. SPOKE OF HIS OWN FAMILY'S LOSS

TO VIOLENCE. DONALD TRUMP SPENDS HIS TIME

RIPPING OPEN THE WOUNDS OF OUR SOCIETY, WHETHER THE MATTER IS

CONFEDERATE STATUES OR NFL FOOTBALL PLAYERS TAKING A KNEE.

BOBBY WORKED FOR PEACE AMONG AMERICANS, TRUMP TRAMPLES ON

SUCH HOPES. ANOTHER DIFFERENCE, BOBBY

KENNEDY SHOWED THE ABILITY TO LEARN, TO GROW, TO BECOME A

BETTER LEADER. HE WENT FROM DISPATCH AND

OBSERVER OF CIVIL RIGHTS FROM HAWK TO DOVE, FROM BACKER OF THE

VIETNAM WAR TO ZEALOUS OPPONENT. DONALD TRUMP IS ALWAYS

UNCHANGEABLY DONALD TRUMP, TWEETING AT DAWN WITH THE SAME

ZEST TO AGITATE, INSTIGATE, ANGER, DISTURB, CONFUSE, MOSTLY

DISTRACT. BOBBY KENNEDY, A RAGING SPIRIT
