        Dr. King, Robert Kennedy, Vietnam, Chicago -- 1968. My mom once said to me of 1968 -- You would have thought the whole world was coming apart.

        1968 was a rough year from beginning to end. About the worst since after WWII.

        Pity that @TheDemocrats-@DNC were hijacked by the corrupt #Clintons who transformed the Party of #FDR-#JFK-#RFK into @GOP-not-so-light. #BillClinton & #HillaryClinton warped it out of all recognition. #DemExithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QnVp5Krk14 …
