Governmental projects are infamously harsh. The bruising schedule. The bad coffee. The time far from home. The relentless requirement to strike up donors for cash. The attack advertisements. The ever-present possibility that it might all be for absolutely nothing. You understand what’s most likely likewise not enjoyable? When a big part of your household openly backs your challenger and, by extension, opposes you. Which is what occurred to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today.
