Somehow, I kind of think that the Kennedy’s regretted winning that election.

almost all of the swing states have Dem governors.

Including the most evil on the planet -- KT Hobbs,

The difference back then was that Richard Nixon and Jack were actually pretty good friends. Politically, the were not that much different. They were both anti communist. They were both Capitalists. The Dem was even a veteran of WWII. A Naval officer. The other had been the VP under the previous POTUS and the governor of the largest state in the country. In the end they were both gotten rid of by the CIA.

Now, the difference between Dems and Republicans is huge.

Too many fake ballots printed with Bi-Dung’s name on them? They’ll need to photoshop those babies pretty fast.

This author declared on live television that the first woman elected to Congress from Montana could not even vote for herself, even though in reality women were indeed eligible to vote there *before* she first ran for election.

So arguments persist to this day about vote-counting in two states, specifically Illinois (where Kennedy won by 9,000 votes) and Texas (where Kennedy won by 46,000 votes). If Nixon had won those two states, he would have defeated Kennedy by two votes in the Electoral College. In Illinois, there were rampant rumors that Chicago’s Mayor Richard Daley used his political machine to stuff the ballot box in Cook County. Democrats charged the GOP with similar tactics in southern Illinois. Down in Texas, there were similar claims about the influence of Kennedy’s running mate, Lyndon B. Johnson, over that state’s election.

Has Maddow ever had a single origin insight or interesting turn of a phrase?

She had one. I remember her saying, on election night in 2016, and almost in tears,

"He's our president."

Bwahahahah!

The only research here is to make sure that Gerald’s family isn’t alive to sue the EVER LIVING SH!T OUT of them for slander or libel.

They just flat out called him racist. In a national newspaper.

What worries you the most? Ummm, You don’t have enough fake ballots printed?

All the ones they stockpiled had Biden's name on them and now they may not be able to print enough fakes for Commie-La in time.

The poster child for liberal tears. Highlight of 2016.

I remember listening to the 1956 election returns on the radio and my mother crying when Adlai Stevenson lost. I didn’t get it. I liked Ike, he seemed like a nice man.

Kennedy lost.

Richard Daley handed him Chicago and Jim Wright gave him Dallas.

Everyone and his dog knew that in 1960.

Nixon became the first Republican uber cuck by “gracefully” backing out.

Sixty years later the same Rat machine did it again. This time the Republican fought back strongly, and the Mafia party is still trying to imprison him and kill him for it.

One comment: what this means is that we have never had an elected Catholic president. Both were installed over the objections of the voters.

Make of that what you will.

Right about Kennedy not winning. Some time after that election, Mayor Daley of Chicago admitted he had dead people voting in that election, which put Kennedy over the top by a very small number of votes.

And now, the Dems rally in Chicago. What could possibly go wrong?

Its been pretty well established by many that Texas and Illinois were “stolen” by the Democrat machine. How many more, I don’t know. But those two alone would have given Nixon the win.
