About Caroline K.

All Kennedys are good people, let she gets the seat, thank you.

Cuomo is just as much a family legacy as kennedy

She has just as much experience a Hillary did before she went into the Senate.

Let Caroline try it. If she is not OK, New York will not reelect her in 2 years. Caroline has star power, is smart, and has lived the life in the political limelight. If Hillary was OK, then why not Kennedy? Why is the establishment so uncomfortable with her? Is it because she is not bought and paid for like so many others?

I would be good to have a fresh face in there. Someone who's not part of the good old boy network like Schumer and Cuomo.
