I’ve known about it, you should see the comparison of the war records of the candidates and veeps in the election of 1960, when JFK seemed to be the only veteran running.
Look up Lt. Commander Nixon’s veep candidate.
Oh yeah, I think Jimmy knew he just won the election.
Just like when Reagan said in 1984, “I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” Even Mondale knew at that moment he was toast.
Reagan pulled two zingers on Carter in 1980 also. “There you go again,” just knocked it out of the park. Along with “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”
I think for leading his surviving crew to an island after getting his PT boat sunk.
I was asking if you knew which medal it was, For 70 years JFK has been taught to Americans as one of WWII’s greatest heroes, with many movies, books, and countless references in text books and articles and TV mentions, and iconic photographs, but no one knows WHICH medal for heroism in combat it was, which is strange and people don’t even think to ask why they don’t know that simple answer.
Look it up.
That is certainly interesting, but I don’t think the maritime unions had that much sway. Ford still managed to carry the whole West Coast and East Coast states like ME, NH, CT, NJ, and VA.
He most certainly would have carried New York!
The maritime unions and the longshoremen’s unions can deliver a lot of votes.
