Massachusetts Congressman Joe Kennedy III's SOTU response was a fairly boilerplate liberal speech with homages to Black Lives Matter & #MeToo. The grandson of RFK, his voice quivered as if he were on the verge of tears. With that said, at age 37, Kennedy is nearly half President Trump's age but is more than twice than mature.
I don't imagine that we will hear Kennedy accuse Ted Cruz's father for culpability in the assassination of his great uncle, refer to Latin American or African countries as "shitholes" or otherwise engage in demagoguery.
I don't know what kind of political future Kennedy has and I don't know if I would ever vote for him, but he is a better man than Donald Trump will ever be.
