A lot of Southern Dems were pretty conservative “back in the day”. In fact, I would venture to guess that some were more conservative than many of today’s RINOs.
John Kennedy, with his stance on lower taxes and for space exploration would be drummed out of the Dem party of today.
JFK wouldn’t recognize the Dem party if he were around today. The Dem party is the Communist Party..they have gone so far left he would be shocked
