The conversation below speaks for itself.
In a conversation with political advisers about young voters, Kennedy asks, "What is it we have to sell them?"
"We hope we have to sell them prosperity, but for the average guy the prosperity is nil," he says. "He's not unprosperous, but he's not very prosperous. ... And the people who really are well off hate our guts."
Kennedy talks about a disconnect between the political machine and voters.
"We've got so mechanical an operation here in Washington that it doesn't have much identity where these people are concerned," he says.
