John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Today, would never be elected! He'd be run out of rooms. How dare he ask us: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." I remember being so moved by that statement. But our country has taken a new direction. And we scratch our heads, oh really? Asking why there is so much dereliction? Re-think JFK's question. Stop listening to the pinheaded supplications for renumirations. And demands to fulfill all our supplications. When did we become such cry babies and rabble rousers? We need to stop wearing diapers and find our trousers. Become adults, not crabby frowners. June 16, 2019 10pm PST

He's WAY too intelligent to be President. First requirement today is to be DUMB. Look at the last two candidates; imagine the next two. Kennedy had a masterful command of both economic and foreign policy issues (as did Nixon, by the way). Trump and Clinton? Beneath dignity to discuss either of them. Oh, well... they are only a reflection of the electorate. :) gw

Then, you just insulted the millions who voted for either 2016 candidates as losers? Am sure Dershowitz, who is no loser voter for Hillary. It's not cool to blame the electorate. After all, we are all humans. Best not to vote and say my hands are clean? I won't get onto the list of negatives about JFK, a saint, he was not. PR

It is a shame, but you are right, he would never be elected; too honorable, and presidential.
