The thing about JFK I don’t get is the fact that this miserable failure gets so much love from the right. It’s obviously a bad thing for someone to get assassinated. But politically-speaking, the principal negative consequences weren’t what he did not get to do - it’s what the Democrats used his assassination to accomplish - the massive expansion of the welfare state. Note that it was JFK who first instituted racial quotas, by executive order.
I was 12 yrs old at time of Kennedy’s assassination. ..I’ve never forgotten the scowl and muttering my father (who rarely said much) did when he saw rest of family watching all the funeral, etc. He fought in Battle of Leyte, I later learned...and I later deducted he thought very little of JFK. Wished I could have discussed with him as an adult. Kennedys have been a pox on America.
Remember when Lloyd Bentsen told Dan Quayle that he was no John Kennedy (or did he say Jack Kennedy)?... Quayle should have responded, “You’re right... I am no John Kennedy... I am faithful to my wife.”
