“Did you think I would buy you a landslide?” Ha ha ha.
Incredible.
Wonder why Nixon chose not to challenge. DS?
What a memory! Remembering your dear mom crying her eyes out.
“Wonder why Nixon chose not to challenge.”
Not sure. He said something like he didn’t “want to put the country through that”. People I knew then thought it was because JFK was the first Catholic to win, and Nixon thought he would be perceived as a bigot of he challenged.
At that time, the Catholic card as it related to perv JFK was as powerful as the race card is now.
