They wanted a resurrected JFK, a mythical figure to settle everything through diktat, not democracy.

JFK -

Largest tax cuts in American history
Pro-gun (NRA Life Member)
Proud anticommunist and not afraid to use troops for America’s national interest
Anti-abortion (we can assume by being a ardent Roman Catholic)

Bona fide war hero - personally brave and deeply patriotic

Assassinated by a devout Marxist leftist named Lee Harvey Oswald

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

“To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required”

“Lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of Berlin, or your country of Germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere, beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind.”

“Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.”

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

—JFK would be shunned by the left today...

Unfortunately, where the Cubans are concerned, he failed to turn those words to deeds...

One of only two or three funny things I’ve ever read from the mouth of Jackie: “It’s so unfair the way they attack Jack for being a Catholic—he’s such a poor Catholic.”

JFK never had to take a public position on abortion. But we do know that as early as 1965, BOBBY (the “devout one”), Teddy, Sargent Shriver, et al., were meeting at Hyannisport with a group of select, elite, pro-abortion Jesuits, plus the notorious Charles Curran, for the purpose of devising plausible rhetorical dodges for pro-abortion Catholics, which they are using to this day.

Thank you. This clown that can't use spell check lauds LBJ and Clinton and compares Obo to JFK. The media was mostly on Clinton's side? They were his freaking iron curtain of disinformation. Some of us were here back then.

—JFK would be shunned by the left today.

And also by the Republican party for being too conservative. IMHO
