“#The Kennedy dynasty may be well and truly over<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n This may be the last Kennedy.<\/p>\n

Finally.<\/p>\n

When Joe Kennedy III, the undistinguished 39-year-old four-term Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, announced he would challenge longtime incumbent Ed Markey for U.S. Senate last September, the liberal media<\/a> had its typical slobbering, Pavlovian response.<\/p>\n

Still does, despite a dramatic drop in the polls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Democratic representative hasn\u2019t come up with a good rationale for challenging progressive Senator Ed Markey in Massachusetts,\u201d The Atlantic said three weeks ago. \u201cBut with a name like his, it may not matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Really? Great-Uncle Ted\u2019s run for president in 1980 couldn\u2019t be derailed by serial drunkenness, womanizing, cheating, nor lying \u2014 not even Chapp<\/a>aquiddick and the little matter of leaving a young woman to drown was enough.<\/p>\n

It was Ted\u2019s televised inability to answer that very question \u2014 \u201cWhy are you running?\u201d \u2014 that did him in.<\/p>\n

Voters aren\u2019t stupid. They know the reason. The Kennedys think Massachusetts is their fiefdom, the Oval Office their birthright.<\/p>\n

Kennedys run because they are Kennedys.<\/p>\n

Increasingly, thankfully, that tautology no longer holds. We all know Camelot was an epic lie. JFK\u2019s father bought him the presidency. RFK, who at least cared about Civil Rights and the plight of American\u2019s poor, was the family\u2019s only real leading light. Ted maintained his Senate seat out of generational sorrow and nostalgia, but had he lived to see the #MeToo era he would never have survived.<\/p>\n

The Kennedys have been on a decades-long decline, their last name a chimera disguising waning power and intra-party disregard.<\/p>\n

Who can forget the ne plus ultra<\/em> of modern Kennedy entitlement: Caroline\u2019s demand, in 2008, that then-New York governor David Paterson appoint her as successor to Hillary Clinton\u2019s Senate seat? Caroline was so sure of a cakewalk that she couldn\u2019t even bother to fake humility or a glancing familiarity with the issues.<\/p>\n

Instead, her campaign was felled by the family\u2019s b\u00eate noire: The speechless response when a reporter dares ask: \u201cWhy you?\u201d<\/p>\n

She had no idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn interviews over the weekend,\u201d the AP reported back then, Caroline \u201coffered explanations for running that included the 9\/11 attacks on Manhattan\u201d plus \u201cObama\u2019s encouragement and the commitment to public service by her father, President John F. Kennedy, and others in her family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caroline\u2019s \u201cum . . . like . . . you know\u201d interviews are the stuff of legendary political bumbling. Even the New York Times couldn\u2019t back her. Paterson threw her under the bus.<\/p>\n

Not \u201cready for prime time,\u201d his team told CNN. \u201cShe clearly has no policy experience and couldn\u2019t handle the pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Camelot\u2019s princess can\u2019t get handed a Senate seat, what makes these beta-Kennedys think they can?<\/p>\n

Joe Kennedy\u2019s polling has been in freefall. Two new polls show the 74-year-old Markey opening up a 10-12-point lead \u2014 and Markey is polling strongest among the young and college-educated, for whom the Kennedys possess no charm nor nostalgia.<\/p>\n

The best reason Joe has for running? He\u2019s in \u201cthe fight of my generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe has yet to get the memo: His generation doesn\u2019t want him. Just like they didn\u2019t want his great pal Beto O\u2019Rourke, the two of them road trip<\/a>ping with a besotted national media while debating who looked and sounded more Kennedyesque.<\/p>\n

The Dems, however, are no longer in thrall. Now we have AOC cutting a campaign ad for Markey, her co-author on the Green New Deal. \u201cWhen it comes to progressive leadership,\u201d she says, \u201cit\u2019s not your age that counts, it\u2019s the age of your ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren supports Markey. So do party leaders Chuck Schumer, Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney. The Boston Globe endorsed Markey. Among Massachusetts Irish Catholic politicos, that\u2019s like opening the New Testament to find a disclaimer reading: \u201cNot based on actual events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Kennedy \u201clacks the chops and track record that Markey would bring,\u201d said the Globe.<\/p>\n

Yet Nancy Pelosi recently endorsed Joe Kennedy because, you guessed it, he\u2019s a Kennedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t too happy with some of the assault that I saw made on the Kennedy family,\u201d Pelosi said. Also, \u201cJoe Kennedy represents this party\u2019s future. He will help lead Democrats forward on the defining battles of our time.\u201d<\/p>\n

How could anyone argue with such a specific rationale?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Markey is looking to deliver the knockout punch to this flailing, fraudulent dynasty.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe asked what we could do for our country,\u201d says Markey, citing JFK\u2019s inaugural words. \u201cWe went out, we did it. With all due respect, it\u2019s time to start asking what your country can do for you.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
