Saint Johnny was a lib like the rest of his disgusting family. He’d probably be helping his POS nephew try to win/steal the Illinois Governorship.
JFK was (d)evolving from the time he won elective office as a “Conservative” Democrat, especially his victory over left-wing Establishment RINO Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. There are few examples where high Dem party officials over time failed to support the ever-increasing left-wing agenda (except perhaps for the flaky Henry Wallace, who went all over the map from TR Prog Republican to liberal Democrat to Communist Soviet stooge and back to centrist Republican. Al Smith was another, but that might’ve been due to the fact that FDR stole his thunder).
Surely if you transported the JFK of 1960 to 2017 America, he might be horrified at the state of the Dems (or maybe not), but it’s difficult to see how he would not have moved with the party after 1963 (although had he lived, it would’ve altered the course of events. He would not have been canonized and would’ve gradually become more and more unpopular once the sex escapades and Vietnam policy and any other expansive domestic policies came to light).
That's true. If he were still alive, he likely would have made the rounds pimping Obamacare a few years ago, too. (Obama would have used a 90-something ex-President Kennedy as the most credible figure to "sell" Obamacare like he did with Andy Griffith, given that LBJ is dead, Carter is a joke, and Clinton is best remembered for Monicagate) And he wouldn't even have to "evolve" on that one, he was leftist on government health care in the 60s and gave speeches back then about how the mean heartless Republicans oppose government takeover of health care.
Kennedy openly opposed the Catholic church's beliefs on birth control and divorce, its not hard to see him joining the rest of his family in becoming pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage once it was "safe" to do so.
I do have a hard time picturing Kennedy's overall career from 1964-present though. If he was alive today, he'd turn 100 this year, the same age the still-living Kirk Douglas is now. It's likely true that had he NOT been assassinated in 1963, America would be a very different place today and Kennedy would not remembered as the all-American golden boy that he's seen as now.
