Yeh but a lot of people thought he was the kind of guy they could go for a drink with. His folksiness was a sham. He is a member of a well connected extremely rich family. He had the world handed to him and was a fuck up. But money and connections win in America. Exclusive prep schools and the Ivy League was an inheritance of his. How any one bought a spoiled rich brat like him could relate to the people, I will never understand.
Back when the repubs were in a majority, They were passing the bankruptcy bill. Kennedy and a couple other dem senators .tried to get amendments through. One was for exempting seniors. One for people with catastrophic illnesses. One was for soldiers who returned to Iraq several times. One amendment was to cap interest rates at 36 percent. Every one was voted down by a repub majority. But the point was a very rich man continued to fight for the disadvantaged. He drank too much and probably caroused too much. But politicians are famous for that. His heart was for the people .

Clearly you don’t believe this about all rich people or rich families, so you either got taken in yourself or you must allow for the fact that people may have different opinions about things.
Right?
