Joseph Smith and Bobby Kennedy were both killed while running for president of the United States.  Dr. Derek Sainsbury tells us more about these two men, and I was surprised to hear about their surprising similarity. GT:  I mean, I think the closest modern day equivalent is probably Bobby Kennedy. Derek:  Absolutely. GT:  Yeah. Derek:  Yeah. In fact, that’s the next book I’m already writing is a comparison between those two. GT:  Oh really? Oh, wow. That’ll be interesting. Derek:  Because he’s the only other candidate in the history of the United States– GT:  [George] Wallace got shot I guess. Derek:  Shot but not killed. Yeah. GT:  Oh, really? So those are the only two people that have been killed is Joseph Smith and Bobby Kennedy? Derek:  Yeah. GT:  Wow. Check out our conversation….
