Here's something I just found out, that makes me think that Lyndon Johnson was responsible for Kennedy's assassination:
-Johnson found out three days before that he was getting dumped from the 1964 ticket for Terry Sanford of North Carolina. From the wikipedia bio of Terry Sanford:
Governor Sanford was a close political ally of President John F. Kennedy, a fact that disturbed some North Carolina Democrats who were suspicious of Kennedy's Catholicism.[15] According to President Kennedy's personal secretary Evelyn Lincoln, Sanford would have been Kennedy's choice for vice president on the 1964 Democratic ticket, had Kennedy lived. In her 1968 book Kennedy and Johnson she reported that President Kennedy told her that Lyndon B. Johnson would be replaced as Vice President. Lincoln wrote of that November 19, 1963, conversation just three days before Kennedy's assassination:[6][16]
As Mr. Kennedy sat in the rocker in my office, his head resting on its back he placed his left leg across his right knee. He rocked slightly as he talked. In a slow pensive voice he said to me, 'You know if I am re-elected in sixty-four, I am going to spend more and more time toward making government service an honorable career. I would like to tailor the executive and legislative branches of government so that they can keep up with the tremendous strides and progress being made in other fields ... I am going to advocate changing some of the outmoded rules and regulations in the Congress, such as the seniority rule. To do this I will need as a running mate in sixty-four a man who believes as I do.' ... I was fascinated by this conversation and wrote it down verbatim in my diary. Now I asked, ... 'Who is your choice as a running-mate?' He looked straight ahead, and without hesitating he replied, 'At this time I am thinking about Governor Terry Sanford of North Carolina. But it will not be Lyndon.'
Agree 100%. Ivanka's role model, as far as womanhood goes, is her mother. Ivana Trump was a powerhouse when she was married to Donald.
Or the Kennedys.
Marla Maples, Tiffany’s mother, was at the convention during Tiffany’s speech but stayed low key.
Kas,
While I appreciate your posting the article, I’ll just disagree with the premise of it.
No, they’re not “Camelot”; they’re just real Americans, who understand what the American Dream really means, and how to achieve it. Sired by a good Man and Father who saw better things for himself and his future and went after them with drive, determination, and ambition.
And that alone is praise-worthy and cause for applause.
As one Freeper put it (wish I remembered who) - “Trump’s just like me... but with a whole lot more money”
I think it would have been hoot if they had of made it a complete sweep of Trump speakers and had Baron up..... even if it was to introduce his Mom with a “please welcome the greatest Mom in the world” 15 second speech.
And I neglected to mention Melania, who will be a very stylish and capable first lady, much better than Bill Clinton.
No Clinton scum in the white house! It would be great if Trump banned them from ever setting foot on the grounds, when he is President! She better visit now, while she can!
IIRC....Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country....was plagiarism. Hope my memory is right on this.
Ted Sorenson, Arthur Schlesinger, White—all the scribes who ghost-wrote Kennedy’s books ... made up `Camelot’ out of whole cloth after the fact.
Precisely. The Trumps are real. Camelot was mythology, a polite term for BS.
If you raise a great kid, you didn’t raise that.
I am so looking forward to watching this beautiful family the next 8 years, Lord willing.
They are respectful, articulate, passionate and fun!
It will almost erase the embarrassment/hurt of Michelle’s harsh words and attitude.
Honeymooned in NYC in November 1962 and saw Camelot on Broadway. Awesome.
This is not a diss..its an observation. ..
barron is at an awkward stage and appears to get quite surly.watch him at the end of the convention.. when his dads hands are rubbing his arms..he makes a face and shrugs him off..when he walks he lumbers..probably due to growing so tall do fast..
He has some growing up to do...and it will be in the public eye.
Louis XIV and Henri Quatre changed the world. and Napoleon left a lot of good behind as well.
I’m glad my dad sat me down and told me about bootleg Kennedy and the real John Kennedy.
Baron looked pretty tired. That’s a lot of stress for a young man who appears relatively shy.
Which will make it difficult for him to grow up and not be scrutinized....much more than Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka or Tiffany. I hope there are plans to keep him “protected” during these next 8 years. OTOH, I believe Donald does not do anything without being fairly confident of the outcome.
