Mayor Daley from Chicago must be turning over in his grave why he did not have something like covid pandemic to boost cheating during his reign.

But Cook county did enough cheating to throw Illinois into JFK’s column, and that was enough to defeat Nixon. At the time I was 20 years old and actually helped distribute democratic brochures to neighborhood voters.

However JFK was nothing as bad as modern day democrats. JFK actually pushed for a corporate tax cut and signed the bill.
Whereas Nixon gave us WIN buttons (whip inflation now) and opened China trade.

Looking back now, maybe we should say that Richard Nixon was indeed Tricky Dick. That China deal is literally killing us.

Only in later years and computer research and reading have I concluded that JFK may have been a D, but he was an American Patriot ... and a pretty good President.

Whip Inflation Now (WIN) was a 1974 attempt to spur a grassroots movement to combat inflation in the US, by encouraging personal savings and disciplined spending habits in combination with public measures, urged by U.S. President Gerald Ford.

Even at my young age I thought they were stupid.

Gerald Ford came up with WIN buttons, not Nixon.
