What would Robert Kennedy think? It’s a question that has occurred to me this campaign season, and not just because it was his eldest daughter, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, who announced on Facebook that George H.W. Bush told her he was voting for Hillary Clinton.

That she is a Clinton supporter is hardly a surprise.
