Maybe I’m older than you but I remember Jack “Mattress Jack” Kennedy. His old man bought him the nomination, and the Mafia stole Illinois, while LBJ stole Texas in the electoral college.

So far, Barry is a poor second.

All too true, however, keep in mind that Nixon could have challenged and didn't (typical of Republican "respect for the process" which DemocRats never seem to be plagued by.)

Also keep in mind that JFK had more real-life experience at that point in his career than Barry does now, and that on the "large issue" of our times -- the Cold War -- JFK was nowhere near as soft was Barry is on the large issue now.
