What turning point did JFK give us, other than cutting tax rates? He badmouthed Ike's handling of the Cold War then found out when he became pres, Ike had been doing a lot in secret. He bungled the Cuba invasion.
JFK turned his point towards anything with two X chromosomes.
I had the same reaction. Then I remembered Pete DuPont is an East Coast elitist RINO who probably thought all Ike did was play golf.
