Joe Kennedy III is a rising star in the Democratic Party. He's young, handsome, liberal Northeasterner. Could a presidential ticket of Kennedy III and soon to be former California Gov. Jerry Brown, a older, wiser, experienced liberal Westerner work or is the ticket too liberal (reinforcing liberal ideology)?

Is this the guy that bought into the anti-vax movement? Or am I thinking of another Kennedy?

Congressman Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts. I think he'd make a great candidate, but wonder if he needs a little more experience in governance first. Watch this video of him on the AHCA, and tell me he wouldn't be great on the stump. https://twitter.com/RepJoeKennedy/status/860171289843175425

Well, hard too tell, but Kennedy is certainly not a bad candidate. But I would prefer him as a VP nominee of a more experienced dude (too sad that our great governor is not a little younger).

No, it's a terrible ticket. The US doesn't want dynasties or fixture families every few decades or so. That and the fact that Brown would be in his eighties nixes the idea of him being VP.

I would prefer Kennedy/Heinrich personally, but this isn't that bad.
stil, I agree with my colleagues, Brown in his 80's would be a liability

Different Kennedy. You're thinking of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., uncle of the one being discussed here.

Anyway, this isn't the worst idea Bronz has come up with, but it's still a bad idea. Kennedy might not be a terrible nominee, but Jerry Brown is definitely not the best option for his running mate.

Folks, the lesson of 2016 was simple: America. Loves. Political. Insiders.

He's a Kennedy, so he'd get assassinated or die in a plane crash or something after like a year.

Then Jerry Brown would probably die too because he's like 80.

Then we'd have President Nancy Pelosi, who is no spring chicken herself.

It would be like the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
