JFK was running at the time.
I was in a Catholic School and we were all bussed to see this pretty boy.
Well, I didn’t know about differences among candidates and parties, back then. I was just learning about the process.
But JFK was certainly superior to any Democrat president that came after him.
He’d be almost 100 years old, if he were still alive; and if his stances on the most pressing issues had remained the same, he’d be what we call a ‘Conservative’, today.
