I'm not sure about JFK being a peace candidate, though. He was quite the hardline Cold Warrior (as Bobby was until Johnson took over).
There's also a rebuttal on the site from Peter Edelman, another Kennedy guy, who's wife was Hillary's mentor in her early years.
The Democratic Party has become something both JFK and RFK would deplorethe party of war.
The guy is awfully verbose, but does make some important points amidst it all.
I don’t know enough about RFK, but If JFK were alive today he would be a staunch supporter of Trump.
JFK hated Communism, devised sensible tax policies and despised the corrupt political establishment. The extreme Marxism the Dummycrats and the corrupt Uniparty cartel would repulse him.
The Kennedys and the Democrat party they knew bears no resemblance to the socialist cesspool of today.
Wilansky seems most concerned about relations with Russia, and on that, Wilansky sounds like Stephen F. Cohen, the retired Russian expert who is often on the John Batchelor radio show (WABC).
Cohen is married to “The Nation” editor Katrina vanden Heuvel, so I assume he’s not a conservative, but he is so appalled at the Obama and foreign policy establishment’s Russian policy, that it wouldn’t surprise me if he also were for Trump.
As for JFK being a peace warrior, I don’t buy it either.
Good article,
Now Trump is like JFK, Lincoln, Thatcher, Reagan, Churchill... and now RFK.
Trump hasn’t let anyone stampede him into threatening war with Russia. Half the Repubs and half the Dems kept trying to prove their manhood by threatening to go to war with Russia.
Didn’t bother reading the article but went over to see the comments. Madder than a bunch of wet cats.
Different time, the Cold War. As you may know one of the big issues in the 1960 campaign was the so called missle gap between the US and Russia, Russia having more missiles. The joke was there was no missile gap, we had the advantage.
After the JFK was killed Bobby made a huge transition and became a super liberal. JFK was then or could be today called a left wing liberal President. Center Right possibly.
At least, Adam Walinsky knows that Donald Trump is an American Patriot, an America First, always and forever.
