I doubt JFK would even be welcome in the demonrat party today.
“I even worked on the campaign and ran for delegate for RFK Jr.’s uncle, Sen. Ted Kennedy.”
Yikes, presumably that was before Dead Ted became a murderer.
Kennedy was anti-communist, pro business, believed in tax cuts, was a lifetime member of the NRA and kept us out of Vietnam. On the flip side, he was for universal healthcare, federal education assistance, increasing the minimum wage, and the beginning ideas (New Frontier) of what would later become LBJ’s Great Society. Kennedy would politically be an Independent today, maybe a conservative Democrat like they used to be, or a liberal Republican, but definitely not bat$hit crazy like the rest of the Dems.
Back in the ‘70’s politics was a big collective bargaining table.
Tories on one side, Labour on the other.
Republicans on one side, Democrats on the other.
Those days are long gone.
(Don’t tell Mitch or he won’t invite you to the croquet match at the country club.)
Of course, Republicans have also been duped by the Republicans In Name Only RINOs. They claimed they were for freedom and Constitutional order while stabbing the conservative voters in the back at every opportunity.
Donald Trump showed the uniparty can be beat. They are the party of the Deep State. They are terrified of another Trump Term.
Jonathan Turley is unwilling to admit the Democratic Party has always been corrupt and anti-democratic.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah... who are you voting for, Jonathan?
Turley uses the terms “..liberal who has been mugged.” and “mugged by reality.”
but STUPIDLY, intentionally dodges the obvious : who is the insane fascist party here ?
Acts like it is a mystery but HE IS OK with it.
Steroids yay.
Vaccinations boo.
“Jonathan Turley is unwilling to admit the Democratic Party has always been corrupt and anti-democratic.....”
You are spot on with that observation my friends.
See that previous post from American Thinker: The Democrat Party was never democratic for a history of those evil bastards
It’s not just a difference of opinion.
And Smarty Pants like Turley should know better. But they can’t seem to ever open their eyes
Apparently he wasn’t accepted then. It was just something they could not control. Much like Trump n 2016. Both resonated with the majority of their respective party’s base. The Democrats, being the supposed party of free speech, Democracy, the little man, etc. had no choice but to allow JFK to win, even if it was by a stolen election. But then JFK began believing he controlled the government, and they had to eliminate him.
The old school Republican Party is at its very nature incredibly lazy. They would rely heavily on democrats being disaffected with their own candidate hoping they didn’t show up to vote to win elections.
It’s going around the democrat internet that for RFK, Jr to endorse and join with Trump is illegal. How could it possibly be illegal?
Gavin Newsom isn’t welcome today.
