    Groomed to become the next JFK, but they forgot the charisma, the diplomatic aptititude, the attractiveness, and the intelligence entirely…

      They definitely forgot the diplomatic attitude and wisdom.

      Whether they forgot attractiveness depends on how you look at that. Apparently he was a handsome guy and went on cool nature expeditions and shit as a kid…on the other hand he used to hang out around rotting animal carcasses all the damn time and loved eating rotten meat so in a more general sense, yeah, super unattractive.

      I think the bigger problem is a had a fucked up childhood where he got literally whatever he wanted cuz he had infinite fuck-you money/status, plus the Kennedy curse taking his super-famous uncle and father and otherwise scarring him for the rest of his life, plus taking a LOT of drugs, equals…the guy never had a chance.

        Thata a good point on his upbringing. The Kennedy family shoes are big ones to fill. He might be one of the legitimate victims of the so-called “affluenza”.
