RFK

Bobby could've saved the Democratic Party from the wilderness it was about to enter.

You folks know you can't openly admit you'd vote for Wallace. That's why we have secret ballots.

Derpist and Santander have legitimate populist ideologies. You're just going far-right racist because Nelson Rockefeller is too controversial for you. I'm calling you out. I get why a populist super-hawk would vote for Wallace. I don't get why you wouldn't back one of the two pro civil rights candidates. Bobby Kennedy was pretty moderate, especially besides universal healthcare.

I am obviously not a fan of the Eastern Establishment in Republican politics and not a fan of the ideology that Nelson Rockefeller stood for.

The entire Kennedy family just disgusts me.

What was the main draw to Wallace?  I'm assuming it's not his economically populist campaign or his desire to get out of Vietnam ... just love that racism?

He isn't RFK or Rockefeller. I would have a protest vote for Wallace

Wasn't Wallace a hawk in regards to Vietnam?

The best Kennedy. But you can't lose that bad in a RFK-Rockefeller election.

I feel like that's pretty rumored to be true now a days, but I remember reading that he said he had a strict 90-day window before all troops were withdrawn if the war wasn't winnable (and most Americans weren't seeing it as a winnable war by 1968).
