He was a known serial adulterer!!
They know NOTHING about his economic policies, which they would dismiss as nothing more than Tea party “propaganda”
The left would love JFK if they knew what the result of his election would mean, which was the destruction of America and the end of conservative/traditional America.
Besides, JFK would be campaigning differently today, it is silly to snatch political figures from a past era and pretend that they would be the same today, I think that JFK would be much more openly liberal and Reagan would be much more conservative.
The election of JFK was the end of America, Vietnam, the 60s era, LBJ, government unions, and the fatal pill of immigration.
Democrats wrote a law to replace the American voter.
However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Bostons WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s. In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedys blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin. After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFKs legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies. Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.
