Notes
“The big thing we learned from Daddy was win. Don’t come in second or third – that doesn’t count – but win, win, win.”
Eunice Kennedy
“To whom much is given, much is expected.”
Gospel of St. Luke
“It’s part of this campaign business. If you have money – you spend it to win. And the more you can afford, the more you spend.”
Rose Kennedy
“Let’s face it, I appeal best to people who have problems.”
Bobby Kennedy
“I know you can do it. There is nothing you can’t do. We’re going to climb that hill together, if it takes all day.” – Ted to Ted Jr. after Ted Jr.’s leg is amputated due to bone cancer.
“I don’t dwell on the past and I don’t think Ted does. My father always said to worry about the things that you can change, not the things you can’t, Ted lost. And now we move on to the next thing.”
Jean Kennedy Smith
Musk asks Ted what should be an easy question for him to answer: “Why do you want to be President of the United States?” Ted is stumped. For the first time in his life, he is unable to come up with a response. He hesitates, stumbles, and stammers, finally managing to cobble together a rambling, unpersuasive answer. The Boston Globe’s Robert Healy has a theory as to why. “I think he didn’t think about it because it was so obvious to him. ‘I want to promote my brother’s -legacy’…He wanted the legacy.”
