Maybe because we didn’t have the internet like we do now, and remember when JFK ran against Johnson, that was a bloody show also...
The only clean person in this whole election that have ran and got beat out and are running right now is Trump and Pence...the rest of them are as dirty as a mafia don...
???
Kennedy ran against Nixon. I don't remember that one.
Johnson ran against Goldwater. That was vicious, for sure.
