The Kennedys were the US version of a royalty vote...the Camelot
thing.

In my tin hat thoughts though are that the US govt (the career govt
agencies) didn't want them...

JFK was a loose cannon, they had him killed
Robert was next in line, they killed him too
Edward was disgraced to win the presidency
but was allowed to serve as a Senator for too many years.
Then came JFK junior...he was looking too good to be a
future presidential candidate.
He died in a plane crash. I don't believe that was an accident

It's just too ironic how ALL the Kennedy potential president
candidates
met an untimely death or scandal.
