Letter to the editor: Focus on candidates' skills, not physical traits
The writer of the letter “Biden and Kennedy are the best Democrats have?” (June 7, TribLIVE) is critical of the Democratic Party for considering Robert Kennedy Jr. to be its candidate to be our next president because, in his words, Kennedy “has a terrible speaking voice.” I’d encourage him not to focus on an irrelevant physical characteristic such as one’s voice when evaluating a person to be president but consider more sterner stuff like a person’s relevant knowledge, experience, leadership skills and effectiveness.
