Disagree, not when I saw him. During the 1960 campaign he came to Syracuse NY and a liberal friend and I walked to a corner to watch him drive by on the back seat of a convertible. He so impressed me just sitting there, that I had to sign up for door to door canvasing for Nixon.
He was strong and impressive looking, but a scum bag like all the Kennedys.
Always thought the Press had kind of a gay thing for him and still does.
I was shocked at how unwell he looked. Like a fragile old lady whose face has been carefully painted.
