A very long read but also a well worth your time account of how Republicans reached their current predicament and what are their choices from now on.

White Middle Americans express heavy mistrust of every institution in American society: not only government, but corporations, unions, even the political party they typically vote for—the Republican Party of Romney, Ryan, and McConnell, which they despise as a sad crew of weaklings and sellouts. They are pissed off. And when Donald Trump came along, they were the people who told the pollsters, “That’s my guy.”
They aren’t necessarily superconservative. They often don’t think in ideological terms at all. But they do strongly feel that life in this country used to be better for people like them—and they want that older country back.
So stupid! Kennedy would despise Sanders.
I haven't read the article because it's apparently very long, so could you please quote what you are responding to.
However, in regards to what Kennedy would think of Sanders, maybe you haven't heard this quote from Kennedy:
My father always told me that all businessmen were sons of bitches, but I never believed it till now. -- (Comment made 10 April 1962 in reaction to news that U.S. Steel was raising prices by $6 per ton, right after the unions negotiated a modest new contract under pressure from JFK to keep inflation down.)
Yes Kennedy was a great politician and knew how to tell people what they wanted to hear like every president who has followed him. Have you ever heard this Kennedy quote?
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?"
Ok now here's a Hillary Clinton quote from 2008!
"You have to ask yourselves, what's in it for me?"
