** Democrats Need Tough Liberals Like Bobby Kennedy
By Will Marshall

Bending laws and norms to the breaking point, President Trump is ordering political show trials ([link removed]) of critics, stifling free speech ([link removed]) , subjecting Spanish-speaking citizens ([link removed].) to police state tactics and choking our economy ([link removed]) with tariffs.

Trump’s MAGA followers greet his autocratic power grabs with vindictive glee — finally, we’re on top! Everyone else is asking: Where are the Democrats?

The party establishment seems adrift, unwilling to make a clean break with flawed policies like Bidenomics, climate alarmism and tolerance of illegal immigration and social disorder that have thoroughly alienated working class voters.

Democrats need a new breed of leader — liberals tough enough to challenge progressive orthodoxies and move the party back to the political mainstream.

For inspiration, they could do worse than look back to Sen. Bobby Kennedy’s (D-N.Y.)1968 presidential campaign. Although tragically cut short by an assassin’s ([link removed]) bullet, Kennedy’s run offers Democrats valuable clues for building a bigger, cross-class coalition.
