    Then, she did her level best to explain what had happened in an age appropriate manner. It was the kind of thing you never forget.

    Can't help but wonder how our country might be different had he served as president for another 5 years, and how it might have changed even further if Bobby hadn't been killed.

    Where were you and how do you think our country might be different today if both men had lived?




    Probably no Great Society.
    The big question would have been about the Vietnam War. I has been said that JFK wanted to pull out of Vietnam after the 64 election.

    Without the war, the American left and McGovern would not have had a breakout issue. The war changed the entire geography and platform of the Democrat Party.

    142 Presidential historians rank JFK #8, Obama #10 and your Donnie fourth from the bottom.
    I suppose you will now tell us that Presidential Historians just aren't "steeped in history" to a sufficient degree.

    Good points, we'll never know what JFK would have done about Vietnam, but my hunch is he wouldn't have been nearly as dumb about it as LBJ.

    Trump hasn't been out of office long enough for an objective evaluation. It is pretty obvious that in time, he will be rated as less popular among the ignorant unwashed, but much more effective than either JFK or Obama.

    His friends in the Senate said what I wrote. He told them we were coming out after his re-election. It is possibly that his own party may have stopped him and no doubt McNamara would have try to stop him.

    Kennedy was big on using special forces to train the locals to fight the commie heathens from the North. It is unknown whether he would have introduced conventional forces to fight for them.

    It wasn't a violent insurrection? That's rich dude. In addition to his Big Lie and violent insurrection, Donnie will also be remembered for thousands of other lies, the chaos, the misogyny, the bullying, and the crappy attitude toward our allies.
